Is timber or galvanised steel better for power poles?

Timber poles are more affordable and blend naturally with the environment but last around 20–25 years. Galvanised steel poles are more durable, fire-resistant, and last up to 70 years but come at a higher initial cost.

Do you provide after-hours emergency power pole services?

Yes. Spectra Electrical offers 24/7 emergency power pole replacement services throughout Sydney. Call 1300 665 587 for immediate assistance with fallen or hazardous poles.
