0439 823 190Differences Between A Level 1 & Level 2 Electrician?
Posted on April 4, 2021
A Level 2 Electrician and a level 1 electrician are both qualified electricians but specify in different work fields. The main differences are where they can work and what electrical systems they can operate on. With these differences, it means that a person will need to contact the specific accredited electrician for a specific job. The Local Electrician offers the best level 2 asp electrical service works to Sydney where we will carry out any service professionally.
The main difference between a level 1 and level 2 electrician is where they perform electrical work. Level 1 electricians operate on electrical systems connected with the electricity distributor, such as next to roads. Level 2 electricians will work in private property and perform work on power poles, consumer mains, cabling networks and more.

I was genuinely really impressed with The Local Sydney Electricians! They approached the job with exceptional care, friendliness, and enthusiasm. In specific Anthony and Reggie, who were sent to complete the job, were not only reliable and efficient but also maintained a high standard of cleanliness. Their professionalism and dedication ensured everything was completed smoothly and to a top-notch standard, couldn’t thank the young men enough for their hard work. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Many thanks to The Local Electrician team who were all courteous, considerate and competent sparkies. Working in teams of two over 3 consecutive days they solved problems, installed new meters and re-cabled much of our double storey, double brick home in Earlwood. Built in 1939 it provided challenges but the team remained unfazed and got the job done with a smile and pats for our dogs. Special thanks to Dylan, Nick, John and Justin for leading the way. A truely admirable corporate culture and really nice blokes all round. Highly recommended!

My mother had no power throughout half her house last week and was in need of an electrician. She called the local electrician, and Dylan came out and found the fault within minutes, leaving my mother very pleased. They pointed out some safety issues at the switchboard and even asked to call a family member to discuss the findings and walk through some suggested solutions. My mother hasn't been doing too well lately, and I really appreciate that they called me to discuss the options. After the discussion, we came to a conclusion, and the team was out there the next day to rectify the issues. I really appreciate that they called before proceeding with the works. My mother is very happy with the work and will use them from now on. Based on my experience, I will also be enquiring about future work at my house. Much appreciated to the local electrician team!

We had an amazing experience with Nick. He was on time, very friendly and helpful.He listened to the issue (which I had tried to sort with several other electricians) and he explained the options of what could be the problem.He didn’t try to push us to get unnecessary work done as other electricians had done. Instead suggested getting the hot water system checked first as that was possibly the issue. Turns out that is what it was and an easy fix.Would 100% recommend The Local Electrician.Thanks Nick for helping us sort this issue that had caused our electricity bill to sky rocket!
What is a Level 1 Electrician?
Level one electricians mainly operate on electricity networks which are located next to the roads. This means that with underground and overhead cabling lines belonging to Electricity Supply Authorities they will install, connect and repair these systems. The main tasks that a level 1 electrician will perform are:
- Stringing, laying and installing electricity cables or joining existing ones together
- Installing electricity poles in new locations and also excavate areas to install underground cables
- Carry out line work, which includes operating on live cable networks
- Developing, working on, building or assisting with electricity distribution substation
What are the Different Qualifications of a Level 1 Electrician?
A level 1 electrician will be qualified in different areas, sometimes many or in just one field. The main certifications which come with being a level 1 electrician and what they can work on are:
- Class 1A – working with or near overhead electricity systems and distributing networks. The types of jobs can include installing power poles, constructing towers, striking new conductors and working with street lighting.
- Class 1B – operating on underground systems and networks. Some jobs include excavating the ground to create trenches, jointing cabling networks, constructing new substations, cable laying and duct laying.
- Class 1C – working with Underground Polymetric and also underground cabling lines and systems.
If warning to know more about a level 1 electrician, such as what training is needed to become one, our blog ‘what is a level 1 electrician’ offers greater insights.
What is a Level 2 Electrician?
Level 2 electricians are qualified to work on electrical systems which run inside a property and connect to the electrical supply network. This includes operating in residential, commercial and industrial properties, installing, repairing, disconnecting and reconnecting various systems. The main jobs which level 2 electricians are able to carry out are:
- Electrical defect notice – when Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy give out these notices level 2 asp electricians are the ones to handle the defects
- Consumer mains – these are important systems for connection purposes and are highly advanced which is why level two electricians are needed
- Point of attachment – to connect electricity network wires to the home or business and eventually other systems level 2 electricians will need to operate on these networks
- VIR cables – these are older cabling systems where a level 2 electrician is trained to safely and properly remove them
- Overhead and underground power – for wires and cables that run from the street into private property a level 2 electrician is trained to work on them
- Private power pole – installing, repairing and connecting private power poles are always completed by professional level 2 asp workers
What are the Different Qualifications of a Level 2 Electrician?
There are many qualifications that a level 2 electrician can have and will determine what jobs they can perform. Having multiple of these qualifications is not uncommon as it allows an electrician to operate on more networks. The main qualifications level 2 electricians can possess are:
- Class 2A – working to disconnect and reconnect the service lines which connect at the point of attachment. These cables are connected to power buildings and a level 2 electrician might need to install, connect or repair them.
- Class 2B – operating with underground service wiring networks and conductors. This includes removing the local electricity distributor cables, installing or relocating service lines to replacing neutral wire links.
- Class 2C – working on overhead service lines, cables and conductors. Like with the underground service wires, level 2 electricians will work with the electricity distributor lines and the private property lines. Reconnecting, installing and repairing these overhead service lines will also be performed by level 2 asp workers.
- Class 2D – operating on service protection devices and fuses and other advanced electrical network equipment. This can include a wide range of jobs, ranging from removing network service items to energising service network equipment. Installing, upgrading, connecting and repairing any protection systems are also performed by level 2 electricians.

I called for a quote and Dylan came the next day. I ended up getting the whole service of repairs to our power board and installation of a new hot water system the same day. Amazing service! Thanks Dylan and Dakota for an unexpected level of service when I only expected a quote. Highly recommended!

I was genuinely really impressed with The Local Sydney Electricians! They approached the job with exceptional care, friendliness, and enthusiasm. In specific Anthony and Reggie, who were sent to complete the job, were not only reliable and efficient but also maintained a high standard of cleanliness. Their professionalism and dedication ensured everything was completed smoothly and to a top-notch standard, couldn’t thank the young men enough for their hard work. 10/10 Highly recommend!

Many thanks to The Local Electrician team who were all courteous, considerate and competent sparkies. Working in teams of two over 3 consecutive days they solved problems, installed new meters and re-cabled much of our double storey, double brick home in Earlwood. Built in 1939 it provided challenges but the team remained unfazed and got the job done with a smile and pats for our dogs. Special thanks to Dylan, Nick, John and Justin for leading the way. A truely admirable corporate culture and really nice blokes all round. Highly recommended!

My mother had no power throughout half her house last week and was in need of an electrician. She called the local electrician, and Dylan came out and found the fault within minutes, leaving my mother very pleased. They pointed out some safety issues at the switchboard and even asked to call a family member to discuss the findings and walk through some suggested solutions. My mother hasn't been doing too well lately, and I really appreciate that they called me to discuss the options. After the discussion, we came to a conclusion, and the team was out there the next day to rectify the issues. I really appreciate that they called before proceeding with the works. My mother is very happy with the work and will use them from now on. Based on my experience, I will also be enquiring about future work at my house. Much appreciated to the local electrician team!

We had an amazing experience with Nick. He was on time, very friendly and helpful.He listened to the issue (which I had tried to sort with several other electricians) and he explained the options of what could be the problem.He didn’t try to push us to get unnecessary work done as other electricians had done. Instead suggested getting the hot water system checked first as that was possibly the issue. Turns out that is what it was and an easy fix.Would 100% recommend The Local Electrician.Thanks Nick for helping us sort this issue that had caused our electricity bill to sky rocket!
