WHAT WE DO
New service connection, meter upgrade or mains repair? Level 2 work must be done by an ASP-accredited electrician — that's us. We handle Ausgrid liaison, service lines and metering end to end.
LEVEL 2 ASP · CROWS NEST
Level 2 electrical work is anything that connects to, or affects, the network side of your meter — service lines from the pole or pit, the point of attachment on the house, the consumer mains between meter and switchboard, and the metering itself. It legally must be performed by an Accredited Service Provider (Level 2 ASP) authorised by Ausgrid. Empire Electrical Contractors is an ASP-accredited business, so we can quote, disconnect, work live where required, install new metering and reconnect — all without waiting on a separate contractor.
The most common Sydney Level 2 jobs are a mains upgrade (typically from 63A to 100A to support ducted air-con, EV charging or a granny flat), a service line replacement after a storm rip-off, a meter box relocation for a renovation or driveway change, and a new service connection for a knock-down-rebuild or secondary dwelling. Every job includes the Ausgrid notification, the Contestable/Non-Contestable paperwork, and coordination of any street pit or pole access needed.
Because Level 2 works usually involve a planned outage, we book the outage window to suit you (early morning is standard), attend as an entire crew, and complete disconnection, replacement and reconnection in one visit wherever the scope allows.
HOW THE JOB RUNS
We inspect the point of attachment, mains cable, meter box and switchboard, and confirm the scope Ausgrid will require.
We lodge the Level 2 notification, contestable/non-contestable forms and metering coordinator paperwork on your behalf.
Power isolated at the network, service line/mains/metering replaced, POA re-terminated, and metering commissioned.
Reconnection, Notification of Service Works submitted to Ausgrid, and full compliance paperwork issued to you.

VERY HIGHLY recommend! We had an issue with power at home and needed someone urgently to restore the electricity service. They responded quickly, showed up on time, and got everything back up and running without any hassle.

I highly recommend Joe, he's very skilled, kind and does honest work. He did a massive last minute job for us, installing an entire 17.4kw ducted aircon system after our old unit broke.

It was an extremely exceptional service from Joe! He came to replace my cooktop on my rented unit then went above and beyond liaising and explaining with my property manager.

I recently had Joe fix two exhaust fans at my place, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service. Joe showed up on time, explained everything clearly, and fixed the issues quickly.
