What is a Level 2 Electrician?
A Level 2 electrician holds advanced accreditation under the Accredited Service Provider (ASP) scheme, administered and regulated by the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.
This certification allows them to carry out complex electrical work that regular electricians are not authorised to handle, particularly those involving direct interaction with the electricity distribution network operated by Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy.
To gain this qualification, electricians must complete rigorous training and be certified in specific service categories under Australian Standard AS/NZS 3000 (also known as the Wiring Rules).
At IZCO Electrical, our Level 2 electricians don’t just meet these standards, they exceed them.
So when you hire us, you’re not just getting a licensed electrician, you’re getting someone officially authorised to perform high-risk work in full compliance with NSW safety laws and national regulations.
Why Should You Call a Level 2 Electrician in Sydney?
Why can’t I can’t call a general electrician? Well, if your project involves more than just rewiring a light switch or installing a power outlet, you likely need a Level 2 electrician. Unlike standard electricians, Level 2 electricians are legally authorised to work on the network infrastructure that delivers electricity to your home or business.
This is what you’ll be safe from when you go with a level-2 electrician in Sydney.
- Hidden Damage to Your Property: Incorrect electrical work can cause internal faults that aren’t immediately visible. These can lead to power surges, burnt-out appliances, or even fires weeks after the job is done.
- Risk of Electric Shock: Unqualified work around the main network or high-voltage systems dramatically increases the chance of electrocution. It takes only one wrong move to cause serious injury or fatal shock.
- Legal Restrictions Apply: Most general electricians are not authorised to touch anything beyond basic wiring. If the job involves the power network, they’re simply not allowed to do it.
- Serious Safety Risks: Mishandling live electrical components isn’t just risky. It can result in property fires, severe injury, or even death. This isn’t an area for shortcuts.
- Hefty Penalties: Using the wrong type of electrician for regulated work can leave you with fines or rejected compliance certificates. Insurers may also refuse claims.
- Your Home Could Fail Inspection: If a job is completed without the right license or documentation, it may not pass official checks. That means delays, extra costs, and legal trouble.
- You’re left with Liability: If something goes wrong, the unqualified electrician does not pay the price. It’s you. A certified Level 2 electrician is trained and accountable under law.
When you call the IZCO level-2 electricians, we’ll assess your job honestly. If it doesn’t require Level 2 work, we’ll send out our general electrician team and save you the extra cost.

What Services Can Our Sydney Level 2 Electricians Provide?
At IZCO Electrical, we are licensed and fully accredited under the NSW ASP Level 2 scheme to work on the Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks. Our technicians carry up-to-date certifications and are trained to follow all guidelines under AS/NZS 3000, AS/NZS 3012, and other relevant standards.
Here’s a breakdown of our key services:
Supply & Install Private Power Pole
We supply and install your own power pole in galvanised steel, hardwood timber, or reinforced concrete. They safely connect your premises to the power grid. Only a certified ASP Level 2 electrician can legally perform this work. Each installation meets the structural and safety standards outlined by the NSW Service and Installation Rules and is subject to inspection and approval by the local network authority.
Consumer Mains Upgrades
When the wiring between your property and the electricity network is outdated, undersized, or damaged, we’ll upgrade it to handle your current and future load requirements. We ensure compliance with the latest Australian Electrical Standards and coordinate approvals with the electricity distributor, so you don’t have to.
Overhead & Underground Service Mains
We handle all overhead and underground supply installations, whether you need a single-phase or three-phase service connection. Overhead cables run from the street pole to your property or private pole, while underground connections are typically installed in high-traffic or new-build areas. Our work complies with network provider guidelines and safety clearances, reducing the risk of service interruptions.
Defect Notice Rectification
If you’ve received an electrical defect notice from Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy, you’re legally required to act, often within a short timeframe. Defect notices can result from:
- Low-hanging or damaged overhead cables
- UV-damaged consumer mains
- Corroded brackets or fascias
- Non-compliant or outdated switchboards
- Vegetation encroaching on power lines
- Poor-quality meter installations
Our Level 2 electricians are qualified to inspect and rectify all listed issues. Once resolved, we submit the compliance documentation to the network provider on your behalf, ensuring the defect notice is officially cleared.
These situations fall under NSW government regulations, and an ASP Level 2 electrician must complete the work. Attempting this work without proper accreditation risks safety, voids insurance, and violates state law.
We are your reliable emergency electrician service partner, 24 X 7 on-call.

Testimonials
Fantastic!
Fantastic!
“A large family in a large house needs a large air-con. Izco Electrical upgraded my power supply so we could run our new ducted air-conditioning keeping the sweat, and complaints about the heat, to a minimum.”
5 Star Service
“After our children moved out, we wanted to subsidise our income by converting their rumpus room into a granny flat to rent out. Izco took the nightmare of working out how much to charge for electricity out of our hands by installing a separate meter for the granny flat. Now our tenants receive their own bill and we don’t have to worry about someone else running up our bills.”
Neat and Tidy Job
“Our electricity bills have decreased substantially since upgrading our meter. Not only are we now charged off peak rates, but we can keep a closer eye on our usage. Thanks Izco!”
Fantastic!

Fantastic!
“Connecting our new home up to the grid was a simple process with the Izco team at the helm.”

“We moved into our new home because it had a large shed at the bottom of the garden, perfect for me to work on cars. But I couldn’t run my arc welder without upgrading to three-phase power. The team at Izco explained exactly what I would need to do, provided me with a free quote and competed the job when they said they would. Even installed some new power points in the shed for me while they were here. I would highly recommend Izco Electrical to anyone needing any kind of work done.”
