A Level 2 Electrician is an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) who is specially qualified to undertake electrical work that involves direct work on the electrical supply network. At ESBA, our Level 2 Electrical services include installations, repairs, and maintenance on overhead and underground service lines as well as metering work and power supply upgrades.
The National Electrical and Communications Association (NECA) identifies the four categories in which Level 2 electricians work:
| Class | What the ASP Level 2 is Authorised to Do |
| Class 2A | Disconnect & Reconnect services for upgrades, repairs, or new connections. |
| Class 2B | Work on Underground Service Lines between the street and the customer’s connection point. |
| Class 2C | Work on Overhead Service Lines (including private poles) between the street and the customer’s connection point. |
| Class 2D | Install and Commission Smart Meters and safely energise new installations. |
The ASP Scheme is designed to maintain safety and quality consistency across the board for those working with distribution network service providers (DNSPs). Within the scheme, there are three levels of accreditation:
In NSW, the Service and Installation Rules (SIRs) and AS/NZS 3000:2018 state that level 2 electrical work includes any work that changes the connection of your home or commercial property to the local power supply. They also align with specific requirements made by Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy.
