Level 2 Electrician Sydney

A Level 2 electrician in NSW is an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) authorised to work on or near the Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, or Essential Energy networks. Unlike standard electricians, they are qualified to install, repair, and maintain overhead/underground service lines, connect/disconnect power at the point of supply, and manage meters

Key Responsibilities and Abilities

• Service Connections: Connecting or disconnecting properties from the main power grid.
• Overhead/Underground Lines: Installing, repairing, or upgrading service lines.
• Meter Services: Installing, replacing, or upgrading meters (including solar).
• Defect Repairs: Rectifying damage to consumer mains or private poles.

Upgrades: Converting single-phase to three-phase power.

In Sydney, level 2 electricians typically charge $120 to $250 per hour. Due to the complexity of their work, they are usually more expensive than level 1 electricians.

This is because level 2 electricians are more qualified and must obtain additional licences and accreditations to perform complex and dangerous electrical work.

For example, most wiring connection jobs take at least 2 hours, so the project cost will start at $240. 

More extensive projects, such as upgrading overhead service lines or relocating power connections, can span several days or even weeks. Installing a new wiring system for a medium-sized house can cost between $3,800 to $8,000, with costs increasing for additional services and installations. 

While the upfront cost for a level 2 electrician may seem high, it’s important to consider the long-term benefits of their electrical work.

Level 1: Requires a 4-year apprenticeship and standard licensing. Level 1 electricians install and maintain general wiring and infrastructure. Handles general residential/commercial wiring, power points, lighting, and internal maintenance.

Level 2: Requires additional specialist ASP training (e.g., categories 2A–2D) beyond a standard licence, often involving 3-4 days of specific training. Level 2 electricians are Accredited Service Providers (ASPs) authorised to work directly on service lines connecting properties to the grid, including metering and disconnections. Specialises in connecting/disconnecting power, installing/repairing service lines (overhead/underground), and managing smart meters.
