Karl and Remy were professional, punctual and customer and outcome focused in performing works that were at times quite challenging. Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical will be my ‘go to’ business for future electrical needs.
      Vicki Kerr
      Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical service was excellent from the initial call to book the job, through to advice as to when the electrician was due to arrive and the actual completion of the job. Daniel also gave us advice on other electrical issues we had at no extra charge. Highly recommended
      Claire F
      The guys were really accommodating, did a professional job and were very polite. They took the time to go over everything that they had done and answer any questions.
      Mechelle Brunton
      I found it quite challenging to get an electrician to answer my calls or respond to text messages. How refreshing to find Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical! Daniel was on time, extremely professional and so capable! I will only use these guys from now on. So impressed!
      Jan La
      I originally had Daniel & team out to replace wired smoke alarm, install extra general power outlets & upgrade ceramic fuses. But ended up with the team doing all these plus upgrading the switchboard , replace ceiling fans to energy efficient ones & replacing cotton electrical cabling too. Across the 3 visits, the team were very friendly, professional & work seamlessly with the tasks. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the results & would highly recommend Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical for your electrical needs. Thanks Daniel & team for a 5-star service!
      Tony Kalcina
      Our Service Side 80A fuse which protects the Power Meter blew up in a spectacular manner (see photo) at 9pm on a Friday night, causing total blackout of our Home. We rang Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical 24 Hours emergency number. We received immediate friendly support and within 30 minutes Daniel, a Level 2 certified Electrician, was at our Home replacing the 80A Service side Fuse, installing a Lightning Protector and ensuring all wiring was perfect! He was a true professional, providing safety advice, a 5 year Warranty and great value. I strongly recommend Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical!
      Susie Lorentz
      We lost our power overnight due to minor flooding, Nathan arrived promptly and gave us a detailed quote. Unfortunately our switchboard was non compliant, we had some safety issues, but a full day later we were back up and running. Daniel and Braydon worked really hard and efficiently all day, communicating what was happening and as more rain was expected, they even tarped our eave that was leaking. They left the premises neat and clean, even wiping down the walls. I highly recommend them.
      Alistair G
      Daniel, Chris, Braydon and the team have been fantastic to work with, great quality and very professional service. Ill be using them again on all future electrical work
      Connie Wang
      It’s amazing how Daniel and Chris came to solve a complex problem and restored the power that my previous electrician was unable to figure it out. They provided prompt and outstanding service! Highly recommended it!
      Norm Krieke
      Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical were excellent in the work they did, which included everything from replacing an out of date switchboard throught to installing lighting / exhaust fans and upgrading power points. Their initial quote was comprehensive and well explained, and the team arrived on time when they said they would. Nothing was too much trouble. We will use them again for our future electircal needs.
      Rebecca
      Daniel has done an absolute stellar job changing our switchboard and reenergising our shop after the explosive fire next door and really put in the hard yakka over two full days. He was prompt to reply and professional and very much on-time. I highly recommend Daniel and his team, and will be using them in future.
      Jessica Maher
      Big thanks to Braeden for fixing the electrical issue in our apartment. I was incredibly impressed with Brayden's professionalism, passion for his work and his attention to detail. He also explained the issue to me at every point and made sure I understood what was needed and how to address any issues in future. I'm grateful he came to help us today and truly impressed with his workmanship and attitude. Cheers Braeden and the team at Castle Crag Level 2 Electrical.

      FAQs About Private Power Poles

Check out these frequently asked questions or reach out to our team of Level 2 electricians for expert guidance tailored to your situation. We're here to help you understand your options and determine the best solution for your property's electrical infrastructure needs.

      Private power poles become necessary when your property is significantly set back from the street or main road, making direct connection to street mains impractical or unsafe. They're commonly required for properties with long driveways, multi-dwelling developments, properties separated from the street by natural features or terrain, and situations where underground cabling isn't feasible due to rock, soil conditions, or cost factors. Many older homes in Castle Crag and surrounding suburbs already have private poles that eventually require replacement as they age beyond their serviceable life.

      The lifespan of a private power pole depends significantly on the material and environmental conditions. Galvanised steel poles typically last 50 years or more with minimal maintenance, offering exceptional longevity and structural integrity. Treated hardwood timber poles generally have a serviceable life of 25 to 40 years, though this can vary based on ground conditions, moisture exposure, and termite activity. Regular inspections by qualified Level 2 electricians can help identify deterioration early, and factors like proximity to the ocean, ground moisture levels, and vegetation contact can all influence the actual lifespan of your pole.

      The property owner is responsible for maintaining private power poles on their land, unlike street poles which are maintained by Ausgrid. This responsibility includes ensuring the pole remains structurally sound, electrically safe, and compliant with current regulations. Property owners must arrange for qualified Level 2 electricians to perform any necessary repairs, replacements, or upgrades. If Ausgrid identifies a safety issue with your private pole during routine inspections, they may issue a defect notice requiring you to rectify the problem within a specified timeframe, which makes regular maintenance worthwhile.

      While you have some flexibility in pole placement, the location must meet specific technical requirements set by Ausgrid. The pole needs to be positioned where it can safely connect to the street network while maintaining proper clearances from buildings, boundaries, driveways, and vegetation. It must be accessible for maintenance and positioned on stable ground capable of supporting the structure. Our Level 2 electricians work with you during the design consultation to find the optimal location that balances your preferences with technical requirements, safety considerations, and compliance with network provider specifications.

      The replacement process begins with a comprehensive assessment of your existing pole and property requirements. We coordinate with Ausgrid to arrange temporary disconnection of your power supply, then safely remove the old pole and hardware. The new pole is installed in an excavated foundation with proper depth and stability, followed by installation of crossarms, insulators, earthing systems, and all electrical hardware. We then reconnect the overhead cables, conduct thorough testing and inspections, and provide all necessary compliance documentation. Throughout the process, we work to minimise power outage duration and communicate clearly about each stage, though temporary disconnection is unavoidable during the physical changeover.
