Who looks after a private power pole on a Hawkesbury property?
Endeavour Energy says privately owned poles and lines are the property owner’s responsibility, and recommends an inspection before bushfire season and after major storms. Endeavour Energy says to keep a 3-metre safety clearance from powerlines, and owners look after trees near lines on their land. If a repair means disconnecting at the point of supply, it needs a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider, and we are one.
Do you work on acreage and rural properties?
Yes. We work on homes, sheds and outbuildings on acreage right across the Hawkesbury. As a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider we can also repair or replace private poles and service lines, so one team can look after the whole job.
Why do my breakers trip when the air con is running?
Usually the circuit is carrying more load than it was set up for, the switchboard is old, or there is a fault that only shows up under load. Older boards with ceramic fuses struggle the most. We test the board and circuits, tell you what’s causing it and give you a fixed price to fix it.
Do you give free quotes?
Yes. Quotes are free, and we work on fixed prices with no hidden fees, so you know the cost before we start.
What is a Level 2 electrician?
A Level 2 electrician is an Accredited Service Provider authorised to work on the network side of your property.

Dann’s holds Endeavour Energy authorisation for service line work and Plus ES authorisation for contestable metering.
