Licensed overhead service mains work across Greater Sydney
Overhead service mains are the conductors that run from the network pole to your premises — on the network side of the service fuse. This is the critical link between the electricity distributor's infrastructure and your property's main switchboard. In NSW, only Class 2A accredited electricians are authorised to install, repair, or modify these conductors under Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy supervision.
Class 2A accreditation is not optional for this work — it is a legal requirement enforced by NSW Fair Trading and the network distributors. For you as the property owner, that means every job is completed by a licensed ASP with the correct insurance, safety procedures, and distributor authorisation. You receive a certificate of compliance that satisfies both the DNSP and any future property inspections.
In Sydney, overhead service mains commonly need attention after storm damage, UV degradation of insulation, or simply because the infrastructure is ageing — particularly in established suburbs like the Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, and Lower North Shore where overhead reticulation remains common. We also install new service mains for renovations, knock-down rebuilds, and new connections where overhead supply is the most practical option.

We inspect the service mains, identify the fault or scope of installation, and assess network assets including the point of attachment, service fuse, and conductor condition.
We notify Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy, obtain relevant permits, and schedule network isolation if required for safe access to the work zone.
Network supply is isolated to our work zone under strict safety procedures, with lock-out/tag-out and documented SWMS before any work begins.
New service mains are installed or damaged sections repaired to AS/NZS 3000 and DNSP specifications, including correct conductor sizing and termination.
Work is inspected, supply is restored, and a certificate of compliance is issued for your records and the network distributor.

Licensed, accredited, and compliant with all NSW electrical and network requirements
Current ASP Class 2A accreditation registered with NSW Fair Trading, authorising work on overhead network infrastructure.
Authorised to perform overhead service work across the Ausgrid network area covering Sydney, Inner West, Eastern Suburbs, and Northern Beaches.
Accredited with Endeavour Energy for overhead service mains work across Western Sydney, Hills District, and Sutherland Shire.
All overhead work completed under documented SWMS, isolation procedures, and WHS requirements for work at height and on live network assets.
Every installation and repair completed to the Australian Wiring Rules with certificate of compliance issued on completion.
Summer storms and strong winds can bring down or damage overhead service mains, leaving your property without supply until Class 2A works are completed.
Insulation on service mains over 15 years old commonly cracks and peels under Sydney's UV exposure, exposing conductors and creating a fire and shock hazard.
Renovations, extensions, and new dwellings requiring an overhead service connection to the grid need Class 2A installation from the network pole to your premises.
Adding solar, EV charging, or a workshop may require upgrading your overhead service mains to a larger conductor size approved by the DNSP.
Demolition, extensions, or driveway works often require relocating the point of attachment and re-stringing overhead service conductors.
Most overhead service mains repairs are completed the same day or next business day once DNSP isolation is scheduled — minimising downtime for your property.
We have established workflows with Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy for faster permit approvals, isolation scheduling, and compliance certificate processing.
Every overhead service mains job is completed with a certificate of compliance issued to you and submitted to the relevant network distributor.
