A level 2 electrician, sometimes also referred to as an ASP (Accredited Service Provider) is different to a standard electrician due to the extra qualifications they hold, recognised by the government and electricity distributors such as Ausgrid to perform live mains supply electrical connections and disconnections.
The 3 levels of ASP’s are:
- Level 1 ASP’s build the street network. Install the street lighting & Green Pillars you see around new housing estates.
- Level 2 ASP’s are able to work with dangerous live electrical cables to connect your house or business premises to the street network. They follow strict NSW rules and regulations. Therefore, due to their nature of work, they must be tracked to ensure that safe procedure is complete.
- Level 3 ASP’s are only concerned with the design of distribution network assets. They are not qualified or authorised to carry out any electrical work such as installing or connecting to an electricity network.

Smart Meters
If your home electricity requirements are changing, perhaps a smart meter is more your style where you can monitor your electricity usage more vigilantly.
Smart meters are digital devices on your mains board that measures your electricity supply and sends it back to the electricity provider remotely, without the need for a manual reading. This means more accurate bills and your electricity provider can measure the power quality being fed into your home ensuring a more consistent supply. Both you and your provider can use the readouts to find better deals and better management solutions for your home or business.
