Choosing the Right Level 2 Electrician in NSW
Why the Right Electrician Matters
When it comes to electrical safety, not all electricians are created equal. A Level 2 Accredited Service Provider (ASP) is legally required for work involving the electrical supply network — including connections, metering, private poles, and more.
Choosing the wrong contractor can lead to failed inspections, dangerous installations, or even property damage. Here’s how to avoid the risks and hire the right expert.
What Is a Level 2 ASP?
A Level 2 ASP is licensed to work on or near the electricity network. This includes:
Disconnection & reconnection to the grid
Installing or replacing meters
Overhead and underground service lines
Handling defect notices
Working on private power poles
Only ASPs listed by Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy are permitted to perform these tasks in NSW. Delta Max Electrical holds full accreditation (Licence No. 4546) and is approved across all major network zones.
Red Flags to Watch Out For
Be cautious of:
No ASP number or licence displayed
Cash-only or no formal quote
No insurance coverage
Incomplete compliance documents
Slow response time or vague communication
If a contractor can’t provide a clear paper trail or proof of authorisation, it’s best to walk away.
What to Look For in a Reliable Level 2 Electrician
Official ASP Accreditation: Confirm they’re listed as a Level 2 provider under NSW’s ASP scheme.
Insurance & Compliance: Public liability and workers’ compensation coverage is a must.
Clear Quote & Scope of Work: A detailed, written quote outlining all costs.
Local Experience: They should be familiar with Ausgrid, Endeavour, and local council regulations.
Emergency Availability: Especially for defect rectifications or urgent connections.
