Possum Guard Installation in Inner West
Protect Your Wiring and Switchboard from Possum Damage
Possums love climbing along wires, meter boxes and roof lines, and they can chew insulation, nest in switchboard enclosures and cause outages. High Demand Electrical fits possum guards that keep them away from your electrical equipment without harming them. Our work is carried out by Level 2 accredited electricians.

Why Do You Need a Possum Guard?
Possums are protected native wildlife in NSW, so removing them yourself isn't an option. The safer fix is to block their access to the equipment they damage. Common problems we see include chewed cable insulation, nests inside switchboards and meter boxes, and possums bridging or shorting exposed connections. These can lead to power loss, repair costs and fire risk.
Where We Install Possum Guards
We install possum guards on service lines and entry points on your property, switchboards and meter box enclosures, outdoor electrical equipment such as external power points, lighting and air-conditioning isolators, and roof-line access points and cable runs near your home. Poles and street-side lines belong to the network operator, so report any possum-related damage there to them.

FAQs
A possum guard is a physical barrier fitted to electrical equipment, wiring or access points so possums can't reach, chew or nest in them. It deters possums without harming them.
Possums climb along wires, roof lines and meter boxes and can chew insulation, nest in switchboard enclosures or short out equipment. This can cause power outages, damaged wiring and fire risk.
Native possums are protected wildlife in NSW, so they shouldn't be harmed or trapped and relocated by homeowners. A possum guard is a humane way to keep them away from your electrical equipment.
We work on customer-owned electrical equipment on your property. Poles and street-side network assets are owned by the network operator, so those need to be reported to them.
Many installations can be completed in a single visit. The time depends on site access and how many points need protecting, and we confirm this when we quote.
