Hello everyone, I'd like to start a conversation about the process of replacing power poles privately. Anyone dealt with this lately who could share some tips?
Hi PoleMaster, I’ve recently handled a similar situation. It’s vital to first know whether the defect notice came directly from Western Power. Getting this sorted will help you know how to proceed.
Adding to what StormSentry said, weather is a major factor in Perth. Planning your pole replacement when the weather is more predictable is key to avoiding delays.
An important aspect is choosing the right type of pole. Wood and steel poles have varied lifespans and costs. Ensure you consult your installer about the best options for your specific needs.
I'd like to emphasize the importance of finding an experienced installer. Your choice can significantly affect the success of the project. Review their credentials and past projects to ensure they’re capable.
Everyone's input has been invaluable. I'll be considering all these aspects as I plan my next steps. Any last-minute advice before I start this project?
