Level 2 ASP electrician work also covers defect notices and new property connections — the jobs most local electricians subcontract out.
Older ceramic-fuse boards are replaced with a compliant board, RCD safety switches and correctly rated breakers. Switchboard upgrades are usually the first thing flagged when solar or an EV charger is added.
Full rewires, circuit extensions and replacement of ageing cable, with testing and certification on completion. Electrical wiring and rewiring is common in the district's pre-1980s timber homes.
Tripping breakers, flickering lights and dead circuits are traced with diagnostic testing, not guesswork. Electrical fault finding is available 24/7 for urgent faults across the service area.
Pre-purchase checks, rental compliance, RCD testing and written compliance certificates. Safety inspections and compliance suits landlords and agents managing multiple properties.
Hardwired, interconnected alarms installed and tested to the NSW requirements for rented and owner-occupied homes. Smoke alarm installation is usually bundled with a compliance visit.
Extra outlets, USB and weatherproof outdoor points, plus garden and security lighting. Power point installation and lighting installation are often combined with an LED changeover.
Fan installation and replacement, plus fault diagnosis on electric, heat pump, solar and gas systems. Ceiling fan installation suits the district's humid summers, and hot water system service and repairs often come down to a thermostat or element, not a new unit.
Home and commercial chargers of any brand, with the supply upgrade handled in-house where the existing service will not carry the load. EV charger installation is one of the fastest-growing jobs in the newer coastal estates.
Hardwired ovens, cooktops, range hoods and laundry appliances, plus Cat6 cabling and data points. Appliance installation and repair and data cabling are handled on the same visit where the scope allows.

I recently had a few electrical jobs done around the house, including installing ceiling fans and new lights, repairing my solar system, and a few others. Everything was completed without any issues, and I'm really happy with how it all turned out. Communication was easy, the work was done neatly, and it was clear he takes pride in what he does.
