If your home is supplied by a private power pole on your property — and many Mackay homes are — that pole is your responsibility, not Ergon’s. When it’s leaning, rotting at the base, or damaged by storms or termites, it needs to be replaced. Barcam Electrical supplies, installs and replaces private property poles throughout the region.
When you might need pole work
Your power pole is leaning, cracked, or showing rot at the base
A defect notice has been left on the pole by Ergon
The pole has been damaged by a storm, vehicle, or fallen tree
You’re building or subdividing and need a new connection point
The pole is timber and well past its expected lifespan
What We Do
We supply and install hardwood and steel property poles, organise the disconnection and reconnection with Ergon, replace the consumer mains where needed, and tidy up after ourselves. Our team has the gear and the experience to do the job safely and properly — including in tighter spots where access is tricky.
If Ergon has issued a defect notice, give us a call straight away. That sticker means the pole is unsafe and the power may be disconnected if it isn’t addressed.
FAQ
-
If the pole is on your property and feeds your house, it’s yours. The pole on the street belongs to Ergon. We’ll help you work out which is which if you’re not sure.
-
Most pole replacements are a one-day job, including the disconnection and reconnection with Ergon. We’ll give you a clear timeline up front.
-
Yes, briefly. We coordinate with Ergon so the disconnection and reconnection happens on the same day, with as little disruption as possible.
