Level 2 Electrician Parramatta

Planning a switchboard or meter panel upgrade in Parramatta and not sure who can do it? Part of the job is often network-side work. Isolating the supply, moving or replacing meters and upgrading the consumer mains all need a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider on the Endeavour Energy network. ERIS handles both sides, so your upgrade isn’t split between two contractors with two sets of dates. We work with homes, small businesses and strata buildings across Parramatta, Harris Park, Westmead, Northmead and North Parramatta.

Switchboard Upgrades: Which Parts Need a Level 2 Electrician?

A licensed electrician can replace the circuit breakers and safety switches inside a switchboard. A Level 2 electrician is needed when the job involves the supply side of the board: disconnecting power at the point of supply, moving or replacing the meter, or replacing the consumer mains that feed the board.

Signs your Parramatta upgrade includes Level 2 work:

• The meter and switchboard share an old panel that has to be replaced
• The meter needs to move to a new position
• The consumer mains are old, undersized or damaged
• The supply has to be isolated at the pole, pit or service fuse
• The upgrade is part of a move to three-phase power

Older Panels and Heavier Loads in Parramatta Homes

Plenty of established homes around Parramatta still have a combined meter and switchboard panel built for a few lights, a stove and a hot water system. Add ducted air conditioning, an induction cooktop, a pool pump or an EV charger and the board, the mains, or both can struggle. Warning signs include breakers that trip under load, a panel that feels warm, or no room left for new circuits.

Upgrading the board alone won’t help if the consumer mains or the supply can’t carry the load. We look at the whole path, from the network connection to the circuits, before recommending what to change.

Level 2 and Switchboard Services in Parramatta

Switchboard and meter panel upgrades

We replace old panels with a compliant switchboard and a separate, properly positioned meter panel. For details, see our switchboard upgrades.

Consumer mains upgrades

We replace consumer mains from the connection point to the main switchboard, sized for the load you’re planning rather than the load the house was built with.

Single-phase to three-phase

When the combined load is too much for single-phase, a single-phase to three-phase power upgrade spreads it across three phases.

Metering

Meter relocation, additional meters and meter replacement for homes and commercial tenancies. You can find details about our metering services.

Disconnections and reconnections

For fit-outs, renovations and demolitions, we isolate the supply safely and reconnect it when the work is finished.

One Contractor for Both Sides of the Board
