Newcastle's Level 2 Specialists

Not all electrical work is the same — and not all electricians are qualified to do all of it. If you need work done that involves the electricity network, overhead service connections, metering, or anything that touches the grid infrastructure, you need a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider. That's exactly what we are.

NewSpark Electrical Solutions is a licensed Level 2 ASP based in Newcastle, servicing the Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Port Stephens and surrounding regions. We carry out the full range of Level 2 electrical services for residential, commercial and industrial clients — with 24/7 availability for emergencies.

What Is a Level 2 Electrician?

A Level 2 Electrician — officially known as an Authorised Service Provider (ASP) — is a licensed electrical contractor accredited to work on, or in connection with, the electricity distribution network in NSW. This is a higher classification than a standard electrician, and it comes with additional licensing, training and regulatory oversight.

There are two classes of Level 2 ASP:

  • Level 2 ASP (Overhead) — licensed to work on overhead service connections and related infrastructure.
  • Level 2 ASP (Underground) — licensed to work on underground service connections and infrastructure.

NewSpark Electrical Solutions holds full Level 2 ASP accreditation covering both overhead and underground work (AUP Number 6580), meaning we can handle the complete scope of Level 2 electrical services for your property.

Important: A standard electrician is not licensed to connect or disconnect properties from the electricity network, work on service mains, or carry out metering work. This work can only be done by a licensed Level 2 ASP.

What Does a Level 2 Electrician Do?

As a Level 2 ASP, NewSpark carries out work that goes beyond what a standard electrician is licensed to do. Our Level 2 services include:

Overhead Service Connections

  • New overhead service connections (up to 400 amps)
  • Upgrades to existing overhead systems
  • Disconnection and reconnection for service changes
  • Permanent disconnections

Underground Service Connections

  • Underground connections above 200 amps and up to 400 amps
  • Service mains repairs and upgrades
  • Disconnection and reconnection
  • Temporary builder's supplies
  • Underground to overhead (UGOH) connections
  • Private pillar installations

Metering Services

  • New connections and meter installations
  • Switchboard upgrades
  • Solar metering installations
  • Meter relocations
  • Meter Protection Device (MPD) installations

Private Pole Services

  • Timber, steel and Titan pole supply and installation
  • Replacement of non-compliant or damaged poles
  • Overhead connection to new or replacement poles
Defect Rectification: When Ausgrid or a property inspection identifies a defect on your service connection or private electrical infrastructure, a Level 2 ASP is required to carry out the rectification work. See our Level 2 Defect Rectification page for more detail.

Level 2 vs Standard Electrician

It's a common question and worth understanding before you book.

TypeWhat They're Licensed To Do
Standard Electrician Internal electrical work on your property — wiring, power points, lighting, switchboards, appliances.
Level 2 ASP Everything a standard electrician does, plus work on the service connection between your property and the electricity network, metering, and infrastructure that interfaces with the grid.

For many jobs — particularly new builds, property subdivisions, connection upgrades and solar metering — you'll need both a standard electrician and a Level 2 ASP. NewSpark can handle both, which means fewer contractors to coordinate and a smoother project overall.
