[ OVERVIEW ]
What is a Level 2 electrician?
A Level 2 electrician works for an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) authorised to work on the network side of your supply - the service line, point of attachment, consumer mains, and connection point between your property and the distributor.

[ CONTESTABLE WORKS ]
Contestable connection work - what that means for you
In NSW, connecting or changing the service between your property and the electricity network is contestable work under the NSW ASP Scheme. You choose an accredited Level 2 ASP - you are not waiting on a distributor crew for every connection job.
Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, or Essential Energy still own approvals and inspections. We manage the paperwork and on-site connection. Scheme depth stays on our ASP guide.

What affects Level 2 cost in Sydney

Often separate
- Distributor inspection fees and some network charges

Common questions
01What Level 2 ASP licence do you hold?
Electrosurge holds Level 2 ASP Licence 6855, plus NSW Contractors Licence 493243C. That lets us complete network connection work and coordinate related internal electrical work in the same project where needed.
02Which networks can you work on?
We work on Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, and Essential Energy networks across Greater Sydney and the Illawarra. Tell us your suburb when you enquire and we will confirm the distributor before we quote.
03How long do Level 2 jobs take?
Simple defect or point of attachment work can often be scoped quickly once we have photos. Jobs that need network applications, pole replacement, or underground mains take longer because distributor queues and inspections set the timeline. We outline expected steps in your quote.
04What is included in a Level 2 quote?
A clear scope of the connection work, materials we will supply, known network or inspection fees where they apply, and what happens if site conditions change. You get the price before we start.
05Can you clear an electrical defect notice?
Yes. Send a photo of the electrical defect notice and we will confirm what needs fixing, whether it is Level 2 network work or standard electrical rectification, and quote the scope before we start.
06Do you handle emergencies on the service line?
Yes. For urgent network-side faults - damaged service lines, unsafe poles, or supply issues at the connection point - call 0438 179 805. We prioritise safety and distributor coordination for Level 2 emergencies across Sydney metro.
07Can you do internal switchboard work and Level 2 together?
Yes. Because we hold both the ASP accreditation and a full contractor licence, we can quote network connection work and related switchboard or wiring work as one coordinated project when that keeps the job simpler.
08What is contestable connection work?
In NSW, changing or connecting the service between your property and the network is contestable - you choose an accredited Level 2 ASP to do it. The distributor still sets standards and may inspect. We handle the ASP-side work and paperwork for your scoped job.
09Do you provide temporary power for building sites?
Yes. Temporary builder's supply and disconnect or reconnect for demolition and major renovations are common Level 2 jobs. Send the site address, builder contacts, and timing so we can align network steps with your programme.
10What exactly is a Level 2 electrician?
In short, an ASP-authorised electrician who can work on the service connection between your property and the electricity network. For the full NSW ASP explanation, verification steps, and Level 1 vs Level 2 vs Level 3, see our guide.
