Service Pole Line Installation, Replacement & Removal

Getting a new hydro service to a property — or replacing aging infrastructure — requires more than just digging a hole. Proper permits, hydro coordination, the right equipment, and a licensed electrical contractor are all part of the job. Speedy Electric has the experience, the licensing, and the equipment to handle pole line work from start to finish across southwestern Ontario.

What we offer:

From Permits to Installation — We Handle It All

Pole line work involves coordinating multiple parties — your hydro utility, the Electrical Safety Authority, and your contractor — and getting the sequencing right matters. We’ve been doing this work for decades and know how to keep projects moving without unnecessary delays.

Whether you’re bringing hydro to a new building, replacing a deteriorating pole, or removing infrastructure from a property, we manage every step of the process so you don’t have to navigate it alone.

New Service Pole Installations

Bringing power to a new structure — a barn, outbuilding, garage, or new build — often requires a new service pole. We handle the full scope: permit applications, utility scheduling, equipment, and installation.

Pole Replacements

Aging or damaged service poles need to be replaced before they become a safety hazard. We assess, source, and replace poles efficiently, coordinating the necessary Hydro One disconnect and reconnect throughout the process.

Pole Removals

Decommissioning a structure or tidying up a property? We handle safe pole removal including proper disconnection from the utility grid and any associated permit requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We manage all permit applications and coordinate directly with your hydro utility for disconnect and reconnect scheduling. We handle the paperwork so the process is as smooth as possible. This includes working with Hydro One and other local utilities to confirm disconnect dates, arrange inspections, and ensure everything is compliant with ESA requirements before the job is closed out. Most clients are surprised by how many moving parts are involved in pole line work — that's exactly why having an experienced contractor manage it from start to finish makes such a difference.

Timeline depends on permit approval and utility scheduling. Once permits are in place and a disconnect date is confirmed with your hydro supplier, the physical installation is typically completed in a day. Keep in mind that hydro utilities like Hydro One set their own scheduling windows, so we recommend reaching out to us as early as possible in your project planning to avoid unnecessary delays. We'll keep you informed every step of the way.

Yes. We regularly install new service poles and above-ground connections for barns, outbuildings, garages, and other agricultural structures across the region. Remote locations are something we deal with regularly — whether it's running a new pole line across a field or coordinating a hydro connection for a structure far from the main service. If you're not sure what's involved for your specific property, give us a call and we'll walk you through it before you commit to anything.

Yes. We serve properties across Oxford County, Norfolk County, Elgin County, and the broader southwestern Ontario area. Usually within 1.5 hours of our Otterville location.
