Replacements & Installations
If you need a private power pole installed at your home or business on the Central Coast, talk to the team at POWER2GRID. We work with both timber and steel power poles, which can be installed to reduce the number of wires needed to transfer electricity directly to your switchboard. For more information, call 0414 430 324.
Level 2 Electricians
As level 2 electricians, we are qualified to handle underground and overhead power connections throughout the Central Coast, including Gosford, Terrigal, Kincumber, Budgewoi and Killarney Vale. If you have a private power pole that has fallen over, get in touch with our team immediately. We can disconnect it from the network and replace it as soon as possible.
We work with:
Steel Poles
Steel poles tend to be 100mm in diameter a 5.3m tall from the ground. They are cheaper to install than timber poles and will last around 15 years, depending on the condition of the ground they are installed in. One benefit of steel poles is that wires can be hidden within them, however rust can also accumulate on the outside—something that should be checked for regularly.
Treated Timber Poles
Treated timber poles are more expensive to install but can last twice as long as steel poles. They tend to be 250mm in diameter and 6.5m tall from the ground. Larger poles can also be installed when required. If you have a timber pole on your property, we recommend checking around the base for rot and termites. Wiring is fixed to the outside of these power poles.
