Domestic Electrical Services

Most new subdivisions around Brisbane and the Gold Coast already have underground services to their properties, however, the older areas generally have poles and wires, which are subject to storm damage and deterioration of the property poles or power poles, many being the responsibility of the property owners, if the power poles are located within your property boundary. To reduce damage to your electrical supply from fallen trees and other damage, we would recommend an underground service as an alternative to aerial power supply.

Connecting your residential electrical service from your property pole to your house underground can eliminate risk from storm damage and the danger of trees falling on your electrical wires. If you are looking for electricians in Gold Coast of a Brisbane electrician that can look after the maintenance of your property pole or if you have loss of power to your property you should contact a local electrical company like Dot Energy.

Most acreage properties have their own property pole just inside the boundary fenceline, which mostly supports aerial power lines from the street to the house. Most poles are timber but can also be metal. Timber poles are more economical but require more maintenance during their lifetime.

Pole maintenance is generally the responsibility of the property owner. It is important to regularly check and maintain these poles for safety and reliability of electrical supply against threats, such as termites, rust or other forms of decay and surface damage. Storm Damage is also a major factor of power pole damage and surrounding trees can bring down the power lines, cutting the electricity to your home. A weakened pole potentially can fall causing high risk damage to surrounding buildings or even injure persons nearby.
