Level 2 Electricians vs Standard Electricians — What's the Difference?

A standard electrician can perform general electrical work inside homes and businesses, including lighting, power points, wiring and appliance installations. However, standard electricians cannot:

 

  • Connect properties to the electricity network
  • Disconnect mains power
  • Replace service lines
  • Work on metering systems connected to the grid
  • Install or repair private power poles connected to the network

 

Only a qualified Level 2 electrician in Newcastle can legally carry out this type of work in NSW.
