Safe, Compliant Pole Installations in Sydney
Private power poles give you more control over your electrical supply. Whether you need better clearance, a safer connection point, or a separate feed for a new dwelling, we install poles that are durable, compliant, and built to last.
Every job is handled by our Level 2 electricians who understand Sydney’s regulations, terrain, and network protocols. From Inner West driveways to rural blocks in the Hills District, we provide reliable pole installations with full safety certification.
What is a Private Power Pole?
A private power pole is a pole installed on your property to carry electricity from the main street supply to your home, business, or site. Unlike street poles owned by the network, a private pole is your responsibility to maintain.
They’re commonly used when your property is set back from the road, when extra clearance is needed over driveways or gardens, or when multiple dwellings on one block require separate supply points.
Pro Electrical installs both galvanised steel and timber poles across Sydney, handling permits, supply authority coordination, and all safety checks.
Our Private Pole Services in Sydney
Whether you’re building a new home, upgrading an old supply, or replacing a damaged pole, we offer full privatepower pole services across Sydney. Here’s how we help:
New Pole Installations
For properties needing new overhead supply, we install galvanised or timber poles along with switchboards and metering gear. We coordinate with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy for full compliance.
Emergency Pole Replacement
Storms, vehicle impacts, and wear can make old poles unsafe. We provide fast, emergency replacements to restore power safely and prevent outages or accidents.
Pole Safety Upgrades
We upgrade aging or non-compliant poles to meet current standards, improving clearance and reducing fire or electrical hazards.
Overhead Supply Conversion
Switching from underground to overhead power? We install new poles, handle disconnection and reconnection, and work with the network provider for a seamless changeover.
Do You Need a Private Pole?
Private power poles are often required when a property is set back from the street, or when clearance, safety, or access issues make a shared pole unworkable. These are the most common reasons Sydney clients choose a private pole:
No Street Access
If your home or site is too far from the public network or sits behind another property, a private pole is often the only safe connection option.
Driveway Clearance Issues
Low-hanging service lines over driveways or work zones pose risks. Installing a private pole allows safe, elevated clearance over entry points and high-traffic areas.
Storm-Damaged Poles
Old timber poles exposed to weather, lightning, or falling trees can crack or rot. If yours is leaning or unstable, replacement is not just smart—it’s essential.
New Build Sites
Building a new home, granny flat, or subdivided property? You’ll likely need a separate power supply, which often starts with installing a private pole.
