24 Hour Electrician - Professional & Prompt Service
Understanding the distinction between a qualified electrician and a Level 2 electrician is crucial for homeowners and businesses alike.
These two tiers of electricians possess different qualifications, responsibilities, and areas of expertise, particularly when dealing with the electrical supply network to your home or business.
A qualified electrician, often referred to simply as an electrician, is trained and licensed to perform a wide range of electrical work. This includes installations, maintenance, and repairs within residential, commercial, and industrial settings. They can handle tasks such as wiring installations, lighting fittings, and general electrical maintenance. However, their scope of work is typically limited to the electrical system within the property boundary.
On the other hand, a Level 2 electrician, or an Accredited Service Provider (ASP), has received additional training and accreditation that allows them to work on or near the electrical supply network. This includes the service lines that connect the property to the electricity network. Their additional qualifications enable them to undertake more complex tasks such as:
Disconnection and Reconnection: Safely disconnecting and reconnecting properties from the electrical network, which is essential during major renovations or when moving the electrical meter.
Metering: Installing, repairing, and maintaining various types of meters, including smart metering systems that provide real-time data on electricity usage.
Service Lines: Working with both overhead and underground service lines to ensure a safe and reliable connection to the electrical network.
Upgrades: Converting single-phase power supply to three-phase to accommodate higher power requirements for properties with substantial energy demands.
A Level 2 electrician is crucial for tasks that involve direct interaction with the electrical supply network, ensuring that any work carried out meets the stringent standards set by electrical distribution networks and regulatory bodies.
Choosing a Level 2 electrician for specific electrical tasks ensures that the work is carried out safely, efficiently, and in compliance with all relevant standards and regulations. Their advanced training and accreditation allow them to handle complex tasks that go beyond the capabilities of a standard qualified electrician, particularly those involving the electrical supply network.
Whether you need to install a private power pole, relocate your meter box, or upgrade your service to accommodate more significant energy demands, a Level 2 electrician has the expertise and authority to perform the work required.
