When to Call for Point of Attachment Repair

Several electrical issues within your building may require a point of attachment electrician’s expertise. Common examples include:

Faulty Cables

Power lines damaged by exposure to the elements will become unsafe and incapable of delivering steady electricity. Accidents, improper installation, and other factors can also damage cables. We can inspect electrical wires to verify their condition. If it has significant faults, we will send a point of attachment electrician to disconnect your power before replacing the faulty wiring. After completing the job, the point of attachment specialist will restore your electricity.

Electrical Equipment Upgrades

Before replacing any part of your building’s electrical infrastructure, a point of attachment technician with level 2 qualifications must disconnect your power. Situations where you might need such a service include:

  • Switching from a single to a three-phase connection
  • Upgrading your electricity meter, circuit breaker, switchboard, or other electrical equipment

Demolishing a Property

Tearing down a property before disconnecting the building from the power grid is highly dangerous. Does your residential or commercial building have an overhead or underground electrical setup? Our level 2 technician can disconnect it before your demolition project begins.

Moving into a Property

It is common practice to disconnect a property from the main grid when an occupant is moving out. If you are moving into a disconnected property, you don’t have to spend the night without electricity. Contact our point of attachment electrician in Sydney to reconnect the building’s power. 

Relocating or Replacing the Point of Attachment

We can provide you with a new point of attachment installation if your current system is beyond repair. Relocating the system may also be necessary if the current location is no longer ideal. For instance, we can move your point of attachment from a rotten fascia board to the roof apex, switchboard, or a private pole or pillar.

Point of Attachment Repair Installation – FAQs

The POA uses sturdy brackets and hooks designed to bear the mechanical load of overhead cables, maintaining appropriate tension to prevent sagging or snapping. This ensures cables remain secure under environmental stresses like wind or storms, avoiding damage or hazards. Proper installation balances tension to protect cable integrity and safety.

First, assess the existing POA condition and electrical load requirements. Next, select appropriate cables and hardware compliant with local standards. Then, safely disconnect power and remove faulty components. Install new brackets, hooks, and cables ensuring correct tension. Finally, test the connection and restore power while ensuring compliance with safety codes.

Signs include rusted or corroded brackets, loose or missing hooks, sagging cables, visible wear on cables near the POA, and power interruptions. Damage may also manifest as cables pulling away from the attachment or structural cracks where the POA is fixed.

Exposure to rain, wind, and salt air in coastal Sydney accelerates corrosion and wear on metal components of the POA. UV radiation can degrade cable insulation, necessitating weather-resistant materials and regular inspections to maintain safety and reliability.

Level 2 electricians are licensed to safely disconnect and reconnect service mains at the POA, ensuring compliance with Sydney’s electrical safety standards. They handle high-voltage connections, preventing hazards and ensuring repairs meet regulatory requirements, which unlicensed personnel cannot legally or safely perform.

Yes, underground services bypass overhead POAs by connecting directly via underground conduits, reducing exposure to weather and physical damage. However, POA maintenance remains essential for properties with overhead connections common in many Sydney suburbs.

Each distributor may have specific standards, defect reporting processes, and timelines for POA maintenance. Customers must comply with their local distributor’s requirements for repairs and inspections, which influences how quickly faults are addressed and the standards for installation in Sydney and surrounding areas.

Avoid using metal ladders or scaffolding near overhead lines, maintain minimum approach distances when working around POAs, and use non-conductive tools. Only licensed electricians should perform work on or near the POA to prevent electrical shock or accidents.
