Article What Is Temporary Power Supply in NSW and When Do You Need It?

When You Need an Emergency Level 2 Electrician

Electrical emergencies involving your connection to the supply network require urgent attention from a Level 2 ASP (Accredited Service Provider).
General electricians are not licensed to work on service lines, meters, overhead or underground connections, or private power poles.

If you experience a sudden power loss, storm damage, or urgent safety defect, an emergency Level 2 electrician is the only safe, legal choice.

Common Electrical Emergencies Requiring Level 2 Work

  • Loss of supply due to storm damage or equipment failure
  • Damaged service lines (overhead or underground)
  • Fallen private power poles or point-of-attachment faults
  • Electrical defect notices requiring urgent compliance
  • Burnt or unsafe switchboards affecting the supply

Why Speed & Compliance Matter

In an emergency, quick action can mean the difference between a fast restoration and days without power.
Level 2 electricians are authorised to:

  1. Disconnect and reconnect your property to the network
  2. Replace damaged service equipment
  3. Complete compliant repairs so energy providers approve reconnection
