Hi PerthPowerPro, I recently went through a pole replacement. It's crucial to check if the defect notice 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 greatly affect the timing of power pole installations. It’s advisable to schedule repairs during stable weather periods to avoid complications.

Adding to Wattson's point, consider the type of pole being installed. Wooden poles are common but have different longevity. Verify with your contractor what the best option is based on your property's location and power needs.

I’d also add that choosing a reliable contractor is as important as the type of pole. You want someone who is well-versed in dealing with Western Power’s standards and can handle the entire process from permits to installation.
