Sydney Level 2 provides professional disconnection of electricity Sydney services for properties being prepared for demolition, redevelopment, major construction work or other projects where the existing electrical supply needs to be safely disconnected or removed. As a Grade A Accredited Service Provider (ASP2), we carry out applicable Level 2 electrical work associated with overhead and underground supply arrangements across Sydney.
Our team can assess the existing connection, determine whether temporary or permanent disconnection is appropriate and complete the required Level 2 work. Sydney Level 2 is authorised for applicable work associated with Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy networks.
This service relates to physically disconnecting the electrical supply to the property. It is different from simply closing an electricity retail account.
An electricity disconnection service Sydney property owners, builders and developers require is commonly arranged before demolition or substantial redevelopment begins.
A building that remains connected to an electrical supply can present a serious hazard when structures are being demolished, excavation is taking place or construction equipment is operating around electrical infrastructure. The existing electrical connection therefore needs to be assessed and dealt with appropriately before the affected work proceeds.
Electricity disconnection for demolition Sydney projects may involve an overhead electrical service, an underground service or associated supply and metering arrangements. The exact scope depends on how the property is currently connected and what will happen to the site after demolition.
Where construction will continue after the existing supply is removed, temporary site power may also need to be considered.
Electrical disconnection involves safely isolating or removing the existing supply connection where specialised Level 2 work is required.
The service may include:
The work required varies from property to property, so the existing connection and intended project should be reviewed before the scope is confirmed.
An overhead electrical service typically connects the distribution network to the property through overhead conductors and an established point of connection.
If demolition, structural alterations or other works affect the existing overhead service, the relevant connection needs to be safely disconnected by an appropriately authorised Level 2 provider.
Sydney Level 2 can assess the existing arrangement and determine what electrical infrastructure needs to be disconnected, retained or dealt with before work on the property proceeds.
Some Sydney properties receive their electrical supply through underground infrastructure.
Underground services require different considerations because the electrical connection may run below ground between the network and the property. This becomes particularly important where demolition, excavation, excavation equipment or redevelopment will affect the area containing existing electrical infrastructure.
The supply arrangement should be identified before construction work begins so the appropriate Level 2 disconnection can be completed.
The difference between permanent and temporary disconnection depends mainly on what will happen to the property's existing electrical supply after the work is completed.
A permanent electricity disconnection Sydney property owners may require is generally appropriate when the existing connection will no longer be used in its current form.
Common situations include:
If the property will require electricity again after rebuilding, a new electrical connection may need to be arranged at the appropriate stage of the project.
Temporary disconnection may be appropriate when electricity only needs to be isolated while specific electrical, construction or building work is carried out.
Once the relevant work has been completed and all applicable requirements have been met, the supply may be able to be restored.
The correct approach depends on the property, the existing connection and the proposed work. Sydney Level 2 can assess the site and explain whether temporary or permanent disconnection is suitable.
Electrical supply disconnection may be required whenever planned work affects the existing connection or when leaving the current supply in place would be inappropriate for the next stage of the property.
Typical situations include:
Not every project requires permanent removal of electricity. Establishing the intended use of the site first helps determine which type of electrical disconnection is appropriate.
The first step is understanding what is happening at the property. This may include demolition, redevelopment, construction or electrical alterations.
It is also important to establish whether electricity will be needed on the site during construction or again after the project is completed.
The property's existing supply arrangement is reviewed to identify factors such as:
The appropriate scope can then be determined.
Depending on the project, this may involve temporary electrical disconnection, permanent supply removal or associated Level 2 work.
Some projects may involve requirements associated with the electricity distributor, retailer or metering arrangements.
Where applicable, these requirements need to be identified and coordinated as part of the wider disconnection process.
The authorised disconnection work is carried out so the affected electrical infrastructure is left in the appropriate condition for demolition, construction or the next stage of the project.
If a new building will later require power, further work may include arranging a new power connection and applicable electric meter installation once the project reaches the appropriate stage.
Work affecting the connection between a property and the electricity distribution network can fall outside the scope of ordinary electrical work and may require an appropriately accredited and authorised Level 2 Accredited Service Provider.
Level 2 work can involve specialised parts of the electrical supply system, including service lines, overhead connections, underground services and disconnection or reconnection at the relevant connection point.
For customers requiring a Level 2 electrician disconnection Sydney service, it is important that the provider holds the appropriate accreditation and network authorisation for the work being performed.
Sydney Level 2 is a Grade A ASP2 and is authorised for applicable Level 2 work associated with Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy.
Electrical connections are not identical across Sydney properties.
The scope of an electrical disconnection Sydney project may be affected by:
Older properties, redeveloped sites and properties undergoing major construction can also have existing infrastructure that needs to be assessed before the final disconnection method is determined.
There is no single price that accurately applies to every electricity disconnection.
Factors that can influence the scope and cost include:
Sydney Level 2 can assess the required work and provide a quote based on the actual site conditions and project requirements.
Sydney Level 2 specialises in Level 2 electrical work for properties and projects throughout Sydney.
Our service is supported by:
The aim is to establish what electrical work the property actually requires and complete the relevant Level 2 service without unnecessarily complicating the project.
Electricity disconnection is often one part of a larger property or construction project.
If a demolished or redeveloped property will need power again, Sydney Level 2 can assist with a new electrical connection at the appropriate stage.
Where a project involves changes to the property's electrical distribution equipment, our switchboard upgrade service may also be relevant.
If an existing customer-owned pole has deteriorated, been damaged or needs to be changed as part of the supply arrangement, see our private power pole replacement service.
New or redeveloped properties may also require applicable electricity meter installation services once the electrical supply is ready for metering.
For urgent electrical supply issues rather than planned demolition or construction work, our emergency Level 2 electrician service may be more appropriate.
If you are preparing a Sydney property for demolition, redevelopment, major building work or another project requiring the existing electricity supply to be disconnected, contact Sydney Level 2.
