A Level 2 ASP (Accredited Service Provider) is authorised by the NSW network operator to work between your point of attachment and the switchboard, including consumer mains, metering installations, switchboard upgrades, and disconnections or reconnections from the network. DM Electrical holds Level 2 ASP authority and responds to defect notices, smart meter installs, and switchboard upgrades across Sydney's Northern Beaches, North Shore, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, and CBD.
Most homes only meet a Level 2 ASP once. It is usually because the network has issued a defect notice, the switchboard is too old for a renovation, or a new smart meter needs installing and the existing fuse box is not compliant. DM Electrical handles defect rectification, switchboard replacements, and metering work as part of the same business, so you do not get bounced between three different contractors to get one job done. Daniel McCormick is the licensed Level 2 ASP on every job and lodges the Electrical Safety Certificate of Compliance with NSW Fair Trading the same day the work is finished.
A Level 2 Accredited Service Provider is licensed by the NSW network operator to perform consumer mains, metering, and switchboard work, plus disconnections and reconnections from the network. They are the only contractors permitted to break and re-seal the meter and lodge the connection paperwork.
A standard single-phase switchboard upgrade in a Sydney home typically ranges from $2,200 to $4,500 depending on the number of circuits, whether RCDs are already fitted, and whether consumer mains also need upsizing. Three-phase upgrades and heritage homes usually sit higher. We provide a fixed-price quote after a site visit.
Call us with the defect number. We assess the fault, quote the rectification, do the work, and lodge the compliance certificate with the network so the notice is cleared. Most residential defects on the Northern Beaches and North Shore are turned around within 24 to 48 hours.
The retailer's metering contractor installs the smart meter itself, but they will reject the install if the switchboard is non-compliant or the consumer mains are undersized. A Level 2 ASP brings the switchboard up to standard first so the smart meter goes in cleanly on the booked visit.
Yes. We disconnect the service at the point of attachment, store the wiring safely while the trade work happens, then reconnect, re-seal the meter, and notify the network. The job is usually completed in two short visits a few days apart.
Most single-phase upgrades take 4 to 6 hours including the power outage. Three-phase or larger commercial boards can run a full day. We agree the outage window with you in advance so it does not interrupt a workday or a tenant.
