Level 2 Electrician Bankstown

Knocking down an old house in Bankstown to build a duplex? The electricity supply has to change at every stage: disconnected before demolition, temporary power while the builders work, and two permanent connections at the end. Each of those steps is Level 2 work on the Ausgrid network, and if one runs late, the whole build waits. ERIS is a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider that handles the supply from demolition to handover. We also look after defect repairs, private poles, consumer mains and metering for established homes around Bankstown, Punchbowl, Padstow, Revesby and Birrong.

Duplex Builds in Bankstown: Power at Every Stage

Before demolition

The existing supply must be safely disconnected and the old service removed before the house comes down. Demolition can’t start on a live connection, so this needs to be booked well ahead of the demolition date.

During construction

Builders need power for tools, lighting and the site shed. A temporary builders supply gives them a metered, compliant supply until the permanent connection is ready.

At handover

Each dwelling needs its own meter, and the connection has to suit the street. Depending on the site, that might be an overhead service, a private pole near the front boundary or an underground supply.

We plan these steps with your builder so the power is ready when the site is, not two weeks later. It also means the old service, the temporary supply and the new connections are designed together, rather than three separate jobs that don’t quite line up.

Other Reasons Bankstown Homes Call a Level 2 Electrician

• An electrical defect notice from Ausgrid
• A damaged service line or point of attachment
• A private pole that’s leaning, rotting or in the way of a new driveway
• Consumer mains that can’t handle a bigger load
• A meter move, an extra meter or an off-peak hot water meter
• An upgrade from single-phase to three-phase power

Level 2 Services for Bankstown Builders and Homeowners

Private power poles

Some duplex sites use a private pole to bring overhead supply to both dwellings. We install, replace and relocate private power poles in timber, steel or concrete.

Underground connections

Where an underground supply is available or preferred, we install the conduits and cabling from the connection point to the meters. For more information, see underground power installation.

New connections and metering

We coordinate the connection and metering with your retailer so each dwelling can open its own account.

Defect repairs

If Ausgrid has flagged a defect on your connection, we’ll repair it and give you the paperwork to close it out. Here’s what to do after an electrical defect notice.

Level 2 ASP or General Electrician?

Your builder’s electrician wires the new homes. The disconnection, temporary supply connection, service, private pole and consumer mains are network-side work that only an Accredited Service Provider can carry out. ERIS holds Level 2 ASP Licence 3022 and Electrical Contractor Licence 204698C, so the supply side of your build sits with one contractor.
