Katoomba local knowledge
Facts from government and utility sources, and what they mean for your power. Each card links to its source.
Fire season generally runs from September to February, according to the NSW RFS. If embers or a storm damage the meter box or wiring at your Katoomba home, leave the power off and have it checked.
NSW Government figures say up to 1,800 house fires each year could have been prevented by getting the wiring checked and having safety switches installed. We test switchboards, safety switches and wiring for homes in Katoomba, 24/7 if it can’t wait.
July nights in the upper Mountains average under 3°C, with July days around 10°C. If breakers trip when the heaters are running, get your board and circuits checked.
Katoomba homes average 1.4 cars each, and 81.8% are separate houses, which usually have their own switchboard and supply. Check your board can take a charger first.
NSW landlords must check smoke alarms every year, replace them within 10 years of manufacture, and use a licensed electrician to repair or replace hard-wired ones.
If your block has its own power pole, Endeavour Energy says it’s yours to maintain. Inspect it before bushfire season. Repairs that disconnect at the point of supply need a Level 2 ASP.

Keep well clear of any fallen powerlines. If the meter box, switchboard or wiring is damaged, leave the power off and call us on 0478 014 622 so we can check it before anything goes back on. If anyone is hurt, call 000.
If it’s privately owned, yes. Endeavour Energy says private poles and lines are the property owner’s responsibility, and recommends an inspection before bushfire season and after major storms. It says to keep a 3-metre safety clearance from powerlines, and owners look after trees near lines on their land. A repair that means disconnecting at the point of supply needs a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider, which we are.
You need one for work on the network side of your property: connecting and disconnecting power, repairing and upgrading service lines, and metering. Regular electricians can’t do this work. A Level 2 electrician is an Accredited Service Provider, and Dann’s holds Endeavour Energy authorisation for service line work and Plus ES authorisation for contestable metering.
