Level 2 Electrician: When You Need More Than a Standard Electrician
When Your Home Meets the Grid
Some electrical work goes beyond the wiring, lights and appliances inside your home. From private power pole installations and meter upgrades to defect rectification and power supply upgrades, Level 2 electrical work requires specialised skills, experience and authorisation.
If the issue involves your property's connection to the electricity network, service mains, meter or electrical supply, you'll need an appropriately accredited and authorised Level 2 service provider.
At Switchpoint Electrical, we understand the responsibility that comes with Level 2 electrical work.
Our licensed and authorised team provides residential Level 2 electrical services that help homeowners with network-related electrical work, supply upgrades, disconnections, reconnections and more.

What Exactly Is a Level 2 Electrician?
A Level 2 electrician is an electrician who is accredited under the NSW Accredited Service Provider (ASP) Scheme to carry out specific types of electrical work associated with the electricity distribution network.
Unlike a standard residential electrician who generally works on the electrical installation within your property, Level 2 ASPs are able to carry out authorised work involving the connection between your property and the electricity network.
At Switchpoint Electrical, we have a dedicated and accredited team that can perform Level 2 electrical work across Sydney. From new power connections and supply upgrades to private power poles, electrical defect rectification and disconnections and reconnections, we can help with the specialised electrical work that sits beyond the scope of a standard residential electrician.
In NSW, Level 2 electricians operate under the Accredited Service Provider (ASP) Scheme, which sets out the types of contestable connection work they can perform. You can learn more about the scheme and accreditation requirements through the NSW Government's Accredited Service Provider information

Reasons You May Need a Level 2 Electrician?
There are various reasons why you may need a Level 2 electrician, particularly when electrical work involves your home's connection to the electricity network rather than the wiring and appliances inside your property.

A new home, granny flat or residential property may require a new or altered connection to the electricity network. Our Level 2 team can help with the electrical connection work required for your property.

Adding an EV charger, air conditioning, large appliances or undertaking a major renovation can increase your home's electrical demand. If your existing supply isn't sufficient, a power supply upgrade may be required.

If your home needs additional electrical capacity, upgrading from single-phase to three-phase power may be an option, subject to your property's requirements and the relevant network operator.

Whether you're replacing an ageing pole, dealing with damage or installing a new private power pole, Level 2 electrical work may be required.

Some renovations, extensions and other major electrical projects can involve changes to your home's electrical supply or network connection. In these situations, a Level 2 electrician may be required.
