Regular inspections are the simplest way to prevent outages, equipment damage, and safety issues before they happen.
Polecat Power Line Company provides overhead and underground electrical inspections for rural properties, farms, commercial facilities, industrial sites, and private distribution systems across Central and Eastern Ontario.
We focus on the actual condition of your system in the field — not just whether it is currently operating.

What We Inspect
During an inspection, we assess common failure points and safety risks, including:
- Pole condition and structural integrity
- Insulator damage or deterioration
- Conductor wear, sag, and clearance issues
- Vegetation encroachment
- Grounding and bonding concerns
- Hardware and connector condition
- Storm or wind damage
- Signs of overheating or electrical stress
- Underground service issues (where applicable)
Why Inspections Matter
Most electrical infrastructure does not fail suddenly — it degrades over time.
Small issues like a cracked insulator, shifting pole, or growing vegetation can eventually lead to:
- power outages
- equipment damage
- safety hazards
- costly emergency repairs
Routine inspections help identify these problems early, when they are still easy to correct.
What You Receive
After each inspection, we provide:
- A clear summary of findings
- Photos of any issues identified
- Priority ranking of concerns
- Practical recommendations for repair or maintenance
No unnecessary reporting — just what you need to make decisions.
Common Issues We Find
- Tree contact with energized lines
- Cracked or failing insulators
- Pole decay or leaning structures
- Storm-related damage
- Loose or aging connections
- Clearance violations
- Grounding deficiencies
Who This Service Is For
- Farms and agricultural operations
