Grade A Level 2 Accredited Service Provider
Grade A accredited with Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy, so one team handles your whole job, from the switchboard to the power pole.
Watts Next Electrical is a Grade A Level 2 electrician in Sydney. A Level 2 electrician is accredited by the electricity network to work on the connection between the street and your property: the power pole, service line, mains and meter. A standard electrician can't legally do this work.
We're accredited with both Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy, and across every Level 2 category. So whether you've received a defect notice, need to move a pole for your renovation or want 3 phase power for an EV charger, one team does the job and handles the network paperwork. We work across the Sutherland Shire, St George, the Eastern Suburbs and surrounding Sydney.
In NSW, the power supply to your property is split into two parts. Everything from your switchboard inwards is your electrical installation, and any licensed electrician can work on it. Everything between the street network and your switchboard (the pole, the service line, the point of attachment, the mains and the meter) connects to the grid. Only an Accredited Service Provider can work on that part.
The NSW Accredited Service Provider (ASP) scheme has three levels. Level 1 builds network infrastructure such as street mains and substations. Level 3 designs network connections. Level 2 is the level that connects and disconnects homes and businesses, and installs and repairs service lines and metering. It's the one most properties need.
| Type of work | Licensed electrician | Level 2 electrician (ASP) |
|---|---|---|
| Lights, power points, fans, smoke alarms | Yes | Yes |
| Switchboard work (your side) | Yes | Yes |
| Disconnect or reconnect supply from the network | No | Yes |
| Install or repair overhead or underground service lines | No | Yes |
| Install, relocate or replace private power poles | No | Yes |
| Relocate the point of attachment | No | Yes |
| Install or upgrade meters, including 3 phase | No | Yes |
| Fix items on an Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy defect notice (network side) | No | Yes |
Because Watts Next Electrical is both a licensed electrical contractor and a Grade A Level 2 ASP, we can do both columns in one visit. You don't need to book a second company or wait for a hand-over.
Grade A accreditation means we're approved for every category of Level 2 work. Here's what that covers.

Storm or tree damage has hit the line to your property.
You're renovating or rebuilding, and the pole, POA or switchboard needs to move.
You're adding a granny flat that needs its own meter or more supply.
You're installing solar, a battery, an EV charger or ducted air conditioning, and your installer says you need a meter, mains or 3 phase upgrade first.
You want the pole or meter box out of sight to improve your street appeal.
Most Level 2 electricians are accredited for some categories on one network. Grade A with both networks means we can say yes to more jobs, and do all of each one.

A Level 2 electrician works on the connection between the electricity network and your property. That includes connecting and disconnecting supply, installing and repairing overhead and underground service lines, private power poles, the point of attachment and meters. They're accredited by the network under the NSW Accredited Service Provider scheme.
A licensed electrician works on your electrical installation, from the switchboard inwards. A Level 2 electrician also holds network accreditation to work on the supply side: the pole, service line, mains and meter. We hold both, so we can do the whole job.
Don't ignore it: the notice gives a timeframe for the repair. Send us a photo of the notice. We'll explain what it means, quote the fix, complete the work and lodge the paperwork with the network.
It depends on the job: a meter change is far simpler than a new private pole or undergrounding. Access, cable length, network requirements and any extra work also affect the price. We give free, itemised quotes after assessing your site.
