Level 2 ASP + Every approval lodged by us
Level 2 electrician in Crows Nest.
Crows Nest packs cafes, clinics and apartments onto overhead supplies that predate the strip as it trades today. Thorntek upsizes tenancy supplies, rebuilds commercial and residential switchboards and clears Ausgrid defects without holding up a fitout.

Common questions
Is Crows Nest on the Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network?
Crows Nest runs on Ausgrid with overhead supply through most of the village streets. We hold Level 2 accreditation, so tenancy upgrades and defects are handled without you calling the network.
Can you clear a defect notice in Crows Nest?
Yes, and in Crows Nest a defect notice often follows a fitout that pushed an old board past its limit. Look at page two of the notice for what Ausgrid actually requires. Email it through to connect@thorntek.com.au and we will return a fixed quote, complete the rectification and lodge the Notice of Service Work (NOSW).
How much does a Level 2 electrician cost in Crows Nest?
Commercial supply upgrades in Crows Nest are priced on the capacity you need, the condition of the existing board and whether the metering changes with it. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts. Tell us about the tenancy through the contact page and we will quote it.
Who is responsible for the power line from the street to my house?
For a Crows Nest shop or home on overhead supply, the wire from the Ausgrid pole to your point of attachment is your responsibility, along with the consumer mains from there to the switchboard. Ausgrid only maintains its own poles and street lines. It is Level 2 ASP work by law, so call 1300 58 58 16 first.
The power is out or a line is damaged in Crows Nest. Who do I call?
For any outage in Crows Nest, call Ausgrid first on 13 13 88, and call 000 straight away if a damaged line is endangering anyone. Ausgrid restores the street and makes fallen gear safe. Repairs on the property itself, the service span, point of attachment or meter enclosure, sit with a Level 2 contractor, which is where Thorntek comes in.
