Hi PerthPowerPro, I just went through a pole replacement. It's crucial to check if the installation comes from Western Power or if it’s a private issue. Your energy provider should give you clear instructions on how to address the defect notice.

That's right, ElectricLiz. Also, be aware that weather conditions in Perth can significantly impact the timing of power pole installations. It’s advisable to schedule repairs during dry weather periods to avoid delays.

Adding to Wattson's point, consider the type of pole being installed. Steel poles are popular but require different handling. Verify with your installer what the best option is based on your location and power needs.

Don't forget about the local weather conditions. Our high winds can cause early wear and tear on power poles. Ensure the installation includes weather-proofing to reduce future issues.

I’d like to add that choosing a trustworthy contractor is as important as the type of pole. You want someone who is experienced in dealing with local power infrastructure and can handle the entire process from permits to installation.
