What Our Level 2 Electrician Work Covers
Consumer mains. The mains run, overhead or underground, that ties your property to the network.
Service line repairs and upgrades. When the line itself is damaged or undersized, we repair or replace it.
Point-of-attachment work. Repairs and upgrades where the supply first lands on your building.
Meter connections. New meter installs, upgrades and reconnections.
Disconnect and reconnect. Safely disconnecting or reconnecting supply for renovations or new builds.
Defect rectification. Sorting out network-side defects an inspector or a fault has brought to light.
When It Is Time for Level 2 Electrician
A few situations point to needing Level 2 accredited work rather than a standard electrical job.
- A damaged or sagging overhead service line
- A renovation or extension needing the supply disconnected and reconnected
- A meter upgrade or a new meter for a subdivided property
- Fault reports that trace back to where the supply connects, rather than your switchboard
- Building or council requirements around a new connection
- A defect notice naming something on the network side
If it's unclear whether your issue is Level 2 work or standard electrical, a quick call sorts it out. A lot of homeowners don't know the distinction exists until they need it.
Why Artarmon Properties Call For This
Artarmon's mix of detached houses and apartment blocks, with the apartments more concentrated toward the Chatswood side, means service-line work varies by property type.
A house on Francis Street or a street like it usually has a straightforward single service line to work with. Strata buildings are different, with shared infrastructure that means coordinating with the manager before any Level 2 work starts.
Either way, it's accredited work, not a job a general electrician can take on regardless of the property type. The accreditation exists because a mistake this close to the network can carry consequences beyond a single household.
Renovation activity across the suburb's Federation and bungalow streets adds another reason this work comes up. A subdivision or a major extension can trigger a fresh connection or a meter change that falls squarely under Level 2.
The Factors Behind a Level 2 Electrician Quote
The cost of Level 2 work depends on a handful of factors.
- Overhead run or underground run
- The extent of any damage or upgrade needed to the service line
- How easily we can reach the meter box and the connection point
- Whether the property is a standalone house or shares infrastructure with a strata building
- Council or network approval requirements for the specific job
Strata and apartment jobs often carry an extra coordination step, confirming access and sign-off with the building's management before work starts. That gets accounted for in the quote, not added on afterward.
You get a free written quote before any work begins, network coordination included rather than billed as a separate line item later.
How We Work Through a Level 2 Electrician Job
- Assess and confirm scope. First we look at the connection itself and pin down which parts are genuinely Level 2.
- Quote and schedule. A fixed price is provided, and any network coordination is scheduled in.
- Carry out the work. Whether it's mains, line or meter, everything is finished to network requirements.
- Test and sign off. We test the completed work and lodge the required paperwork before wrapping up.
Timeframes vary more on Level 2 work than standard electrical, since network coordination sits partly outside our control. We'll give you a realistic estimate once the scope is confirmed.
Compliance, Certificates and NSW Requirements
A standard electrical licence stops at the meter. Level 2 work demands separate ASP accreditation held alongside it.
A Certificate of Compliance for electrical work follows completion, confirming the job meets AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules and network requirements.
DIY electrical work is illegal in NSW generally, and the bar for Level 2 sits higher again. Neither a handyman nor a standard-licensed electrician may attempt it.
The network operator sets the technical rules for anything on their side of the connection, and holding ASP accreditation lets us carry out that work on their behalf rather than just adjacent to it.
Why Locals Choose Us for Level 2 Electrician
We're accredited members of Master Electricians Australia, an industry body that holds the work to a standard beyond the base licence requirement.
Every Level 2 job gets the same fixed-price, tested-and-signed-off approach as our standard electrical work. No separate lower bar for network-side jobs.
If the job turns out to need more than first assessed, we stop and walk you through the updated cost before continuing, the same as on any of our other work.
Servicing Artarmon and the Suburbs Around It
A switchboard upgrade or a full rewire on an older property regularly drags Level 2 work in with it, most often as a fresh connection. We'll flag it as part of the same conversation if a job we're already quoting turns out to need network-side work too.
Chatswood, Naremburn, St Leonards, Lane Cove and Willoughby round out the area we cover from Artarmon. Same accreditation and the same standard, wherever the property is.

Common questions
Level 2 Electrician FAQs
What Artarmon property owners usually ask about Level 2 work before booking it in.
Does the age of the house change how level 2 electrician is done?
It can. Older service connections sometimes need extra assessment before the new mains go in, and that's factored into the price upfront.
Can you give me a ballpark on level 2 electrician?
It depends on the scope, whether it's overhead or underground, and any meter or point-of-attachment work involved. We give you a free fixed quote once we've seen the job.
How do I know it's time for level 2 electrician?
A damaged service line, needing a meter changed over, or a fresh connection for a renovation are the usual triggers. If in doubt, a call sorts out whether it's level 2 work or standard electrical.
Do you supply the materials or can I buy my own?
We supply the materials for this kind of work as standard, since it has to meet network requirements exactly.
Is level 2 electrician something a handyman can legally do?
No. ASP accreditation sits above the standard electrical licence, and the law bars anyone without it from doing this work.
Do you handle strata or apartment level 2 electrician in Artarmon?
Yes, including liaising with a strata manager where the work affects shared supply infrastructure.
