0402 685 118As Sydney’s population is growing every passing day, it also necessitates more affordable housing. The local councils work to uncover vacant sites for new developments while property owners are finding ways to make the most of their available land. The most familiar method to obtain the most out of your property include building additional accommodation or pull down an existing home and build new multiple homes on the same space. Well, in any of these scenarios, property owners and developers will need availing accredited level 2 electrical services.
Converting a Single Property into Two or More
No matter whether the new structures are made for residential or commercial space, the following instances will necessitate a licensed level 2 electrician.
New meters & switchboards installation
Additional meters will be needed per unit albeit the size of the development. Depending on the number of residences or commercial properties being constructed on the same space, the area will be determined, which might also necessitate switchboard installation.
Upgrading electrical mains
If the upgraded property needs more energy or has complex equipment that requires more power, then a 3-phase power may be requisite for the site. A level 2 electrician will be needed not only to upgrade the mains but also to perform the installation for electrical meter upgrade.
Supplying & repairing underground or overhead power connections
At times, a new power source is needed to supply electricity to a development/ reconstruction site. Level 2 electricians will be needed to execute the works irrespective of whether the supply is from an underground source or overhead lines.
Providing provisional power to a construction site
When construction advances on the site, provisional power is required to use safety equipment and tools.
Pulling Down the Property
A licensed electrician can render essential services like lighting and new power points but there are boundaries to what they can perform when developing existing properties. When pulling down an existing property, an accredited level 2 electricians will be needed to accomplish the following:
Fixing/ restoring electrical supply of an existing property
During the property demolishing process, the current power cables may wear away eventually or become damaged, which will lead to the issue of a fault notice for hazardous situations. It demands a well-trained and licensed electrician to perform these repairs efficiently.
Unplugging & connecting the electrical supply again
Unplugging (i.e. disconnecting) electrical services is the first step when pulling down an existing property. It is basically done to remove electrocution hazard throughout the pulling down process. And when the construction work for all new structures have been completed, a certified level 2 electrician will be needed to connect them to the mains.
Preserving Safety
It’s critical for customers to verify the credentials of level 2 electricians due to the high-risk nature of works involved. How to know you have contracted a level 2 electrician:
Ask a level 2 electrician to provide proof of their certification. The electrician should be duly certified in their training for completing the works, have a complete working knowledge of all the relevant Acts and Regulations, as well as, an independent assessor will provide grade (the grade will take into consideration projects that have been successfully completed by the electrician). Moreover, the NSW Department of Energy & Resources preserves an updated list of Level 2 certified electricians on their website.
