What is a Level 2 Electrician?
In New South Wales, electrical work is strictly regulated to ensure public safety and network integrity. Under the NSW Accredited Service Provider (ASP) Scheme, general electricians handle the wiring, safety switches, and fixtures inside your home or commercial premises. However, any work that directly connects your property to the street's overhead or underground power network must be performed by a certified Level 2 Accredited Service Provider.
Level 2 electricians hold specialised accreditation and network authorisations to perform "contestable network services." This means they are legally qualified to work on the service lines and connection points between the street network and your property. While 33 Electrical handles your internal wiring and
switchboards, an ASP manages the vital, high-voltage link to the external grid.

When You Need Level 2 Electrical Services in Newcastle
You typically require Level 2 electrical services in Newcastle when your project involves the connection point between your property and the street network. Common scenarios where we assess the job and coordinate an accredited ASP include:
Upgrading Your Power Supply
Moving from a single-phase to a three-phase power connection to meet increased electricity demand, such as new heavy machinery, large ducted air conditioning, or comprehensive switchboard upgrades.
Consumer Mains Upgrades
Replacing or upgrading the main supply cables that carry power from the street network to your switchboard, often necessary in older homes with higher modern electrical loads.
Disconnection & Reconnection
Essential safety procedures required for major home extensions, building demolitions, or when replacing main switchboards.
Overhead & Underground Services
Installing, repairing, or relocating the service lines that bring power from the street pole or pillar to your property.
Point of Attachment Work
Repairing, relocating, or upgrading the physical connection point where overhead service lines attach to your fascia, roof, or private power pole.
Rectifying Electrical Defect Notices
If you have received an official defect notice from Ausgrid (or your local network provider), an authorised ASP must rectify it promptly to avoid disconnection.
How 33 Electrical Coordinates the Work
We take the stress out of complex electrical upgrades by managing the entire project. Here is our step-by-step process for coordinating jobs requiring Level 2 work:
- Initial Enquiry & Assessment: You contact 33 Electrical with your project details, site plans, or defect notice details.
- Site Visit & Scope Identification: We visit your property in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, or the Hunter Valley to assess the full scope of work. We determine what internal electrical installations are needed and confirm if accredited Level 2 network work is required.
- ASP Coordination: If network-side work is necessary, we liaise directly with our network of suitably accredited and authorised Level 2 service providers.
- Quoting & Scheduling: We provide a clear, transparent quote covering our general electrical installation alongside the coordinated Level 2 services. We align schedules so all work occurs efficiently without unnecessary downtime.
- Completion & Compliance:
We carry out the work safely and professionally. The accredited Level 2 provider performs the mandatory testing and submits all compliance documentation to the network provider.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Level 2 electrician or Level 2 ASP in NSW?
In NSW, a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider (ASP) is a specialised electrician authorised under state regulations to perform contestable work on the electrical network connecting your property to the main power grid.
How do I know whether my electrical job requires a Level 2 provider?
If your project involves connecting a new building to the grid, upgrading your consumer mains or phase supply, moving overhead lines, or fixing a network defect notice, it requires an accredited Level 2 provider. 33 Electrical can assess your site and advise you on exact requirements.
Can 33 Electrical complete Level 2 electrical work?
No. 33 Electrical provides general electrical services and does not hold Level 2 ASP accreditation. However, we assess your project needs and coordinate the required regulated work with an accredited Level 2 provider on your behalf.
Who carries out the accredited portion of the project?
An independent, network-authorised Level 2 Accredited Service Provider carries out the accredited network connection work, and we select and coordinate them for your job.
What information should I provide when requesting a quote?
When reaching out, please provide your address, details of the planned project or issue, and a copy of any network correspondence or electrical defect notices you have received from your provider (such as Ausgrid).
Can general switchboard work and the Level 2 component be coordinated together?
Yes. We often coordinate internal switchboard upgrades and property rewiring with the external consumer mains or connection work carried out by the Level 2 provider to streamline the process.
Which Newcastle and Hunter-region areas do you service?
We assess and coordinate projects across Newcastle, Boolaroo, Lake Macquarie, Warners Bay, Cardiff, Maitland, and the greater Hunter Valley.
