Common questions

Is Surry Hills on the Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network?

Surry Hills is on the Ausgrid network and most of its terraces are still fed overhead from the lane behind. As a Level 2 ASP accredited to them, Thorntek handles the whole chain: application, works and energising.

Can you clear a defect notice in Surry Hills?

Yes. In Surry Hills the notice usually points at the terrace's service line or its old board, and page two carries the exact defect detail. We repair it as a Level 2 ASP and lodge the Notice of Service Work (NOSW) that closes it out. Email both pages to connect@thorntek.com.au for a fixed quote.

How much does a Level 2 electrician cost in Surry Hills?

It depends how much of the terrace's supply is being replaced: just the switchboard, or the service line and consumer mains as well. Each combination gets a fixed price before any work starts, so you know the full cost first. Send the details through the contact page and we will quote it properly.

Who is responsible for the power line from the street to my house?

For a Surry Hills terrace fed overhead, the wire from the pole in the lane to the point of attachment is yours to maintain, and so is everything from there through to the switchboard. None of it is Ausgrid's asset, and only a Level 2 ASP can repair or replace it. Book an inspection if yours looks tired.

The power is out or a line is damaged in Surry Hills. Who do I call?

Ausgrid takes the first call on 13 13 88 for any outage in Surry Hills, and 000 takes it the moment a wire comes down. When the danger has passed, whatever needs fixing on the house itself, the overhead service, the attachment or the meter box, is work for us rather than the network; Thorntek is on 1300 58 58 16.
