Power Connections, Metering & Upgrades Made Simple

ACE provides Level 2 electrical services for homeowners, builders, developers, businesses and property managers across Sydney. From temporary builder supply and three phase power upgrades to overhead connections, underground services, smart metering and distributor applications, we manage the process clearly from start to finish.

Level 2 electrical work is different from standard electrical work because it often involves the connection between your property and the electricity network. That can include consumer mains, metering equipment, point of attachment work, network requirements and supply upgrades. ACE helps make that process easier, safer and better planned.

Our Services

Level 2 Electrical Services We Provide

Temporary Builder Supply

Temporary builder supply gives a construction site access to power before the permanent connection is ready. ACE can help arrange and install temporary supply for builders, knockdown rebuilds, architectural renovations and new construction projects.
This is especially useful where trades need reliable site power before the final meter and permanent electrical connection are completed.

Three Phase Power Upgrades

Many modern properties need more capacity than a standard single phase supply can comfortably support. Large air conditioning systems, EV chargers, commercial equipment, pool equipment, workshops, smart homes and future battery systems can all increase demand.
ACE assesses if three phase power is suitable for the property and helps manage the upgrade process so the electrical system is better prepared for modern use.

Overhead Connections

Overhead connections are common where power is supplied from the street pole to the property. ACE can assist with overhead connection work, service line upgrades, point of attachment requirements and replacement work where needed.
This type of work is often required during renovations, storm damage repairs, defect rectification, property upgrades or changes to the incoming supply.

Underground Connections

Underground connections are often preferred for new builds, premium homes, commercial properties and developments where a cleaner and more protected supply route is needed.
ACE helps plan underground service connections carefully, considering site layout, trenching requirements, switchboard location, metering, future capacity and distributor requirements.

Smart Metering Connections

Smart metering supports more accurate energy use tracking and can form part of a future ready electrical setup. ACE assists with smart meter connections, meter changes and related Level 2 metering work.
This can be especially useful for properties planning EV charging, solar and battery storage or higher electricity demand.

New Connections & Supply Upgrades

If you are building a new property or upgrading an existing one, the electricity supply needs to match the way the property will be used. ACE can assess supply requirements, explain the available options and support the connection process.
This may include new service mains, consumer mains, metering upgrades, three phase supply or additional capacity for future technology.

Disconnection & Reconnection Work

Some renovation, safety and upgrade work requires temporary disconnection or reconnection of supply. ACE handles this carefully so the project can move forward safely and with fewer delays.
This is common during major renovations, switchboard upgrades, defect rectification, service line changes and building works.

Private Power Pole Installation and Replacement

ACE installs and replaces private power poles for residential, commercial and development projects. We assess the pole location, overhead service requirements, point of attachment and surrounding site conditions before completing the necessary Level 2 connection work.
Private pole replacement may be required because of deterioration, storm damage, electrical defects, property redevelopment or changes to the incoming power supply.

Electrical Defect Rectification

Electrical network defects should be addressed promptly by an appropriately authorised contractor. ACE investigates defect notices, explains the required work and completes rectification involving service lines, private poles, consumer mains, metering equipment, points of attachment and related Level 2 infrastructure.

High-Capacity Switchboard Upgrades

Properties with substantial electrical demand may require supply and switchboard upgrades exceeding 100 amps, including 200 amp and 400 amp systems. ACE plans and delivers high-capacity upgrades for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, developments and properties adding power intensive equipment.
Each upgrade is assessed around present demand, expected growth, protection requirements, metering and network coordination.

Commercial Power Logging and Load Profiling

ACE uses power logging and load analysis to understand how electricity is consumed across a commercial property over time. This can identify peak demand, load imbalance, power quality concerns, poor power factor and system inefficiencies before they lead to disruption or unnecessary costs.
The findings can support preventative maintenance, energy audits, power-factor correction and informed planning for equipment or supply upgrades.

Commercial Level 2 Electrical Services

As Level 2 ASP electrical contractors, ACE provides connection, metering, consumer mains, supply and network-related services for commercial properties across Sydney. We coordinate the work carefully around site access, operational requirements and electricity network procedures.

Night Time Shutdowns and Power Upgrades

Major commercial electrical upgrades may require a planned shutdown of the property’s power supply. ACE can schedule eligible shutdown and upgrade work at night to reduce disruption to staff, customers and normal business operations.
This service is suitable for switchboard upgrades, consumer mains work, metering changes, supply upgrades and other projects that cannot be completed while the electrical system remains energised.

Premium Electrical Solutions

Level 2 Electrical Work Without The Confusion

Power connection work can feel overwhelming because it usually involves more than one step. There may be distributor applications, network rules, metering changes, site access, supply capacity checks and coordination with other trades.

ACE keeps the process organised. We assess what the property needs, explain the work clearly, help manage the required distributor steps where applicable and complete the electrical work with safety, compliance and long term capacity in mind.

If you are building, renovating, upgrading power supply or preparing a property for future energy use, ACE helps make Level 2 electrical work practical and straightforward.

Why Level 2 Work Needs The Right Electrician

Level 2 electrical work affects the main supply to the property, so it needs proper planning. A rushed or poorly scoped job can lead to delays, failed approvals, capacity issues, unsafe supply problems or extra work later.

ACE looks beyond the immediate connection. We consider current load, future demand, metering, switchboard capacity, consumer mains, site access and how the property may need to use power in the years ahead.

That is especially important for premium homes, commercial upgrades, architectural builds, EV charging, solar ready properties and developments where the electrical system needs to support long term growth.

Level 2 Connections For Builders & Renovators

Builders and renovators often need Level 2 support before the main electrical work can progress. Temporary builder supply, supply upgrades, disconnections, reconnections, metering changes and three phase planning can all affect the project timeline.

ACE works with builders, project managers and property owners to keep the connection side organised. We help reduce confusion around distributor steps, site power, access requirements and future capacity planning.

For renovations across established areas such as Mosman, Chatswood and Wahroonga, Level 2 planning can be especially important where older supply infrastructure needs to support modern appliances, premium lighting, EV charging or home automation.

Distributor Application Support

One of the hardest parts of Level 2 work is understanding the distributor process. Different connection types may involve applications, approvals, network requirements and staged work before the final connection can be completed.

ACE helps manage this process where applicable, so homeowners, builders, developers and commercial clients are not left trying to work it out alone.

We explain what is required, what needs to happen next and how the electrical work fits into the broader connection process.
