Overhead Electrical Cables

Overhead cables transmit electricity across long distances to every home and commercial property. They are strung between distribution utility poles to a property.

We specialise in connecting your property’s service mains from the distribution pole. Whether you need a new installation, replacement or removal of redundant overhead cables, we provide both single and three-phase services.

How do I know if I need to install new overhead cables?

Overhead cables can easily be damaged by inclement weather-related damage, wildlife and other factors such as fallen trees pulling down an existing cable or renovations that require the relocation of an existing cable. Or the existing service mains cables no longer meet the current Australian standard sizing.

Damaged overhead cables are a safety liability. Avoid touching or getting near them at all costs. It’s impossible to know if they have active electricity flowing through them.

If you’re installing new or additional electrical equipment, renovationing or installing EV or a granny flat call us today for an inspection.

If you are experiencing any type of issue or damage with your overhead cables, it’s best to call a level 2 certified electrician. As accredited level 2 electricians, we have the expertise to safely connect and disconnect electricity from the network.

Overhead electrical cables provide a reliable means of power distribution to your home. By installing overhead cables, you can ensure a consistent and uninterrupted supply of electricity, minimising the risk of power outages and disruptions.
Cost Efficiency

Can overhead electrical cables be relocated or adjusted?

However, these tasks should only be performed by licensed professionals who have the expertise and knowledge to handle such operations safely. Proper planning, coordination, and adherence to safety protocols are essential during any relocation or adjustment of overhead electrical cables.
Are there any maintenance requirements for overhead electrical cables?

Have to say it's rare to come across any companies such as selectrical services these days. Their custom service is excellent and backed with prompt service. They would text you to inform when their electrician would arrive. When they promise something, they would keep their promise. We had really good experience having them to carry out electrical work.

They replaced our power board and main cables. Done as scheduled, all nice. I'm grateful they took old pole and powerboard and moved payment to more convenient day for us!

Emergency call out today, our switchboard started to smoke and our power had to be turned off. With temperatures over 35 and elderly parents it was extremely stressful. I can not speak highly enough of this company. Not only did they turn up within a few hours but the job was done promptly and efficiently. Thank you so much for your professional service !! I will highly recommend you!
