Level 2 ASP + Every approval lodged by us
Level 2 electrician in Newtown.
Newtown terraces sit shoulder to shoulder on overhead services that predate almost everything now plugged into them. Thorntek upsizes supplies, replaces fuse boards with properly protected switchboards and handles the Ausgrid side end to end.
Ausgrid runs the network in Newtown
Every connection, mains upgrade and service alteration in Newtown 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 Newtown on the Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network?
Newtown runs on the Ausgrid network with overhead services along its terrace streets. Thorntek is a Level 2 ASP and manages the whole process from application to energising.
Can you clear a defect notice in Newtown?
We can. The detail Ausgrid wants fixed sits on page two of the notice; snap all pages and email the photos to connect@thorntek.com.au. We come back with a fixed quote, repair the defect at your Newtown terrace and submit the Notice of Service Work (NOSW). Get it to us well before the compliance date.
How much does a Level 2 electrician cost in Newtown?
For a Newtown terrace the main variables are the size of the new supply, the state of the fuse board being replaced and how tight the access is. Every price we give is fixed before work starts, with no hourly surprises. Send your details through the contact page and we will price it.
Who is responsible for the power line from the street to my house?
The network's share ends sooner than most Newtown owners expect. Once the wire leaves Ausgrid's pole, the service line, the point of attachment on the terrace and the mains through to the switchboard are the owner's responsibility. A Level 2 ASP is the only contractor allowed to touch it, so have it inspected rather than guessing.
The power is out or a line is damaged in Newtown. Who do I call?
Ausgrid's fault line on 13 13 88 is the first call, or 000 if a line has fallen. Once Ausgrid has made the fault safe, damage to the parts you own, the service line, the attachment point and the meter box, is repair work Thorntek handles across Newtown.
