Private Pole Replacement

Replacing a failed private power pole is a flagship Level 2 ASP service. Sydney Power Group (SPG) safely disconnects the supply, removes the defective pole, installs a compliant new pole and reconnects your service across Greater Sydney.

Private poles are the property owner's responsibility, and rotten, leaning or termite-damaged poles are a serious safety hazard often flagged on a defect notice. All replacements meet AS/NZS 3000 and the Service & Installation Rules of NSW.

Signs Your Pole Needs Replacing

Leaning poles, splitting or soft timber at the base, rust on steel poles, and loose service attachments all indicate a pole nearing failure. If your network operator issues a defect notice, the pole must be rectified within the stated timeframe.

SPG assesses the pole and the point of attachment and recommends replacement where repair is not safe.

The Replacement Process

We arrange the disconnection, remove the old pole, install a new compliant power pole with the correct attachment and service fuse, and re-terminate the service mains before reconnection.

If your pole is at the end of its life but still standing, an inspection can confirm timing, or we can quote a new installation elsewhere on the property.

Fast, Compliant Rectification

SPG completes private pole replacements promptly to keep your supply safe and your defect resolved, with certification issued on completion.
