Underground Power Connection 2024-03-26T06:09:15+00:00

Underground Power Connection

At Secret Harbour Electrical, in collaboration with Western Power, we offer the installation of an underground supply point, facilitating the transition from an overhead service cable (the line from the power pole to your home) to an underground pole-to-pillar connection. This process entails Western Power installing an underground cable from the power pole to a pillar, typically situated at the front of your residence. Subsequently, Secret Harbour Electrical handles the installation of a mains cable from your pillar to your meter box, ensuring a seamless connection.

At Secret Harbour Electrical, we are pleased to oversee all underground power projects, whether they involve domestic properties, subdivisions, or commercial ventures. Teaming up with Western Power, we handle all the necessary paperwork on your behalf. Western Power mandates that all electricity connections be underground, particularly for newly subdivided properties where both the new connection and associated connections must be placed underground.

Transitioning to underground power offers numerous advantages. It enhances security during storms compared to overhead connections, eliminates the need for tree maintenance near overhead lines, and can enhance the visual appeal of your property.

Effective from July 7, 2017, Western Power has revised its charges for pole-to-pillar installations. Previously, Western Power subsidized the cost of underground power lines to achieve a target of 50% underground lines in the metro area. Currently, Perth boasts approximately 65% underground coverage, resulting in increased prices. The new rates stand at $3400 for properties on the same side of the road as the power lines and $4900 for those on the opposite side. Additionally, you will be responsible for covering the connection costs with your electrician.

Contact Secret Harbour Electrical today for any inquiries or to receive a complimentary quote for your underground power supply connection project.

Late on Friday my elderly neighbour had her power tripping after we had experienced another power failure in Singleton and it was reinstated. Desperate to find someone to help I called the guys at Secret Harbour electrical. Considering it’s late on a Friday evening and it’s a long weekend. They arrived within an half an hour of the call.They explained that they had outstanding calls to do. But did everything they could to help. Honestly I can’t recommend them enough. Great help at the drop of a hat and great service.

Travis was our first call, and our only call. We planned to get quotes from several electricians, but once we met Travis from Secret Harbour Electrical, we stopped searching. Not only was he prompt and very courteous, he was also extremely professional. Travis was very upfront with project costs and time, and completed all tasks in the time frame allocated. Thanks, Travis ????.

Trav came out last minute, late on a Friday evening, to fix the mainline I accidentally dug up. He charged a reasonable fee as has gained himself a new loyal client. Recommend A+++.

Travis turned up on time and worked solidly until the job was done. He supplied and installed a power board, light switch and power points in the shed; a light and outdoor power point in the carport; and outdoor power points on verandas. He had some unexpected troubleshooting due to previous questionable wiring. Very reasonably priced for a clean and efficient job.
