Level 2 ASP + Every approval lodged by us
Level 2 electrician in Balmain.
Balmain's workers' cottages and waterfront homes are almost all fed overhead, on services and mains from another era of loads. Thorntek renews the supply chain from the street to the switchboard and lodges every Ausgrid application as a Level 2 ASP.

Ausgrid runs the network in Balmain
Every connection, mains upgrade and service alteration in Balmain is lodged with them and approved before energising. As a Level 2 ASP we lodge the application, do the work and arrange the energising in one program. You never deal with the network.
Meters too: we are accredited to exchange and upgrade meters on behalf of retailers, same day as the works, coordinated with your retailer.

Common questions
Is Balmain on the Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network?
Balmain is Ausgrid territory, almost entirely overhead fed. Our Level 2 accreditation lets us lodge, build and energise without the job ever leaving our hands.
Can you clear a defect notice in Balmain?
Yes. Balmain defects often trace back to old overhead services and their attachment points, and the specifics are listed on page two of the notice. Photograph both pages and send them to connect@thorntek.com.au for a fixed quote. We repair, then the Notice of Service Work (NOSW) goes in to Ausgrid, so act on it promptly.
How much does a Level 2 electrician cost in Balmain?
Balmain jobs vary with how much needs renewing: the service, the consumer mains, the switchboard, or all three at once for a move to 3 phase. We inspect, then commit to a fixed price for the lot. Start by describing the job on our contact page.
Who is responsible for the power line from the street to my house?
On Balmain's overhead streets the split sits at the pole: Ausgrid maintains up to its own pole, while the service line across to your point of attachment and every metre on to the switchboard belongs to the owner. Repairs on that stretch need a Level 2 ASP. Ask us to check yours.
The power is out or a line is damaged in Balmain. Who do I call?
For a blackout or damaged line in Balmain, ring Ausgrid on 13 13 88, and treat anything sparking or lying on the ground as a matter for 000. Reconnection of the street is theirs. Rebuilding the damaged service line or the attachment on your home afterwards is where Thorntek comes in.
