Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if my electricity keeps tripping?
This could be due to a number of reasons and is often a sign that your circuit is being overloaded. This may be a result of a faulty appliance, so take note as to whether your electricity trips when you plug in or use a particular device. If this is not the cause, there may be a fault somewhere in your property’s wiring that will need to be addressed by a licensed electrician.
When do I need a Level 2 electrician?
You’ll need a Level 2 electrician for tasks such as installing or upgrading your power supply, meter installations, disconnecting and reconnecting services, or repairing damaged service lines. These tasks require specialised qualifications and are typically necessary for new builds, renovations, or major electrical upgrades.
Can a Level 2 electrician upgrade my switchboard?
Yes, a Level 2 electrician is qualified to upgrade your switchboard to handle increased power demands or improve safety. This ensures your electrical system can manage modern electrical loads and reduce the risk of overloads or faults.
How do I know if my switchboard needs upgrading?
If your power trips frequently, your lights flicker, or you are installing high-demand appliances such as air conditioning or EV chargers, your switchboard may need upgrading. Older systems are not always designed to handle modern electrical loads or support required safety devices.
A Level 2 electrician in the Illawarra can inspect your switchboard and advise whether an upgrade is needed to improve safety, compliance and performance.
What is the difference between a Level 1 and Level 2 electrician?
A Level 1 electrician typically handles general electrical work such as lighting, power points and routine repairs. A Level 2 electrician is authorised to work on the electrical supply network, including service connections, metering and major upgrades.
If you are looking online for an electrician near me in the Illawarra to complete advanced or network-related work, a qualified Level 2 electrician is required to carry out the job safely and legally.
