STRATA ELECTRICAL SERVICES SYDNEY
Level 2 ASP Electricians for Strata Managers and Body Corporate Committees Across Sydney
Strata and body corporate buildings operate under a different set of electrical compliance obligations to standard residential properties. When the incoming service mains, main distribution switchboard, or metering infrastructure requires work, only a Level 2 Accredited Service Provider can legally carry it out. Sydney Power Group specialises in strata electrical services across Greater Sydney.
We work directly with strata managers, body corporate committees, and owners corporations to deliver fast, compliant electrical services with minimum disruption to building residents. Every job is scoped in writing, quoted upfront, and completed with all compliance documentation lodged directly with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy.
Only a Level 2 ASP can legally carry out strata electrical work
Main switchboards, service mains, metering and network infrastructure are outside a standard electrician's licence scope. Engaging an unaccredited contractor voids compliance and risks enforced disconnection.
Body Corporate Electrical Compliance
Strata buildings in NSW must maintain their electrical infrastructure to current network distributor standards. Non-compliant infrastructure can result in defect notices, insurance refusals, and personal liability for the owners corporation.
Strata Building Switchboard Upgrades
Most apartment blocks built before 2000 run on main switchboards never designed for today's tenant loads — split systems in every unit, EV chargers, high-draw appliances. We replace the full main distribution board and consumer mains, install mandatory RCD protection, and manage the network supply upgrade application with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy if needed.
Common Area & Lot-by-Lot Metering
Common Area Metering
Car parks, lifts, pool equipment, and external lighting need separate NMIs. Without it, usage is estimated — leading to disputes and inaccurate levies. We install dedicated CT metering panels and coordinate retailer registration.
Individual Lot Metering
Older buildings sharing a single NMI create billing disputes. Each lot gets its own NMI, retailer account, and accurate bill. Increasingly a DA condition for new and converted strata developments.
EV Charging
Unmanaged EV chargers can overload a building's supply within months. We design and install managed charging infrastructure with load balancing — so every resident can charge without exceeding the building's capacity.
Defect Notices
An Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy defect notice carries a legal deadline. Ignoring it means enforced disconnection. We respond within 24 hours, assess, quote, rectify, and lodge the compliance cert — often same day.

Strata Electrical Services
We Provide
Every service below requires Level 2 ASP accreditation. Sydney Power Group is authorised by Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, and Essential Energy to carry out all of them.
Main Switchboard Upgrades
Ageing fuse boards in apartment blocks are a fire risk and a compliance liability. We replace the main distribution switchboard and incoming consumer mains, increasing supply capacity and installing RCD protection across every circuit to current Australian Standards.

Common Area Metering
Car parks, lifts, shared amenities, and external lighting all consume power that must be separately metered and billed to the body corporate. We install dedicated NMIs and CT metering panels so usage is accurately tracked and apportioned.

Lot-by-Lot Tenant Metering
Older strata buildings often share a single NMI across multiple lots. We carry out individual lot metering upgrades, giving each unit its own account with the retailer and eliminating disputes over power usage allocation.

EV Charging Infrastructure
Strata buildings need a managed approach to EV charging to prevent individual tenants from overloading the building's supply. We design and install dedicated EV charging circuits with load management, coordinating any supply upgrades needed with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy.

Defect Notice Rectification
Ausgrid and Endeavour Energy issue defect notices to strata buildings when infrastructure falls below compliance standards. We assess the defect, provide a written scope of works within 24 hours, carry out the rectification, and lodge the compliance certificate directly with the network.

Emergency Electricians
A whole-building power failure at 2am affects every resident at once. Our 24/7 Level 2 emergency team responds to strata building outages across Sydney with an average on-site time of under 60 minutes.
Read MorePower Outages
Building-wide power loss is often a network-side or main-switchboard fault only a Level 2 ASP can restore. We diagnose whether it's the network, service fuse or main board and get residents back on fast.
Read MorePower Tripping
Common-property circuits that keep tripping point to an RCD, MCB or cabling fault. We isolate the faulty circuit across common areas and shared mains without shutting down the whole building.
Read MoreBurnt Switchboards
A burning smell or scorched main distribution board is a genuine fire risk. We make the board safe immediately, then replace the switchboard and consumer mains to current standards.
Read MoreElectrical Fault Finding
Intermittent faults across common property are hard to trace. We systematically diagnose shared circuits, mains and metering to find the root cause and document it for the owners corporation.
Read MoreLevel 2 ASP Services
Every job on the incoming service, main switchboard, common-property mains and metering requires Level 2 ASP accreditation. One authorised contractor for all your building's network-side work.
Read MoreConsumer Mains Upgrades
Undersized or deteriorated common-property consumer mains limit supply and fail inspections. We upgrade overhead and underground mains to increase capacity and clear defect notices.
Read MorePoint of Attachment Repairs
Storm damage or deteriorated fittings at the building's service entry are Level 2 work. We repair or replace the point of attachment and rectify any related defect notice.
Read MorePrivate Power Poles
Privately owned poles serving a strata block are the owners corporation's responsibility. We inspect, repair and replace leaning, rotted or defective poles across Sydney.
Read MorePole Top Fuse Repairs
A blown pole-top or service fuse can cut power to the whole building. Only a Level 2 ASP can diagnose and replace it, and we respond 24/7 across Sydney.
Read MoreThree Phase Upgrades
Lifts, pumps, EV charging and rising loads often outgrow single-phase supply. We manage the three-phase supply upgrade application and works end to end with the network.
Read MoreDisconnect & Reconnect
Major works, remediation and capital upgrades often need a planned network disconnection and reconnection. We coordinate the shutdown to minimise disruption to residents.

STRATA ELECTRICAL FAQ
Why does strata electrical work require a Level 2 ASP?
Strata buildings typically share a single service connection from the street that feeds the entire building. Any work on the incoming service mains, main distribution switchboard, metering infrastructure, or connection to the Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy network falls outside what a standard electrician is licensed to perform. A Level 2 ASP holds the specific accreditation to carry out this network-level work legally and lodge the compliance documentation the distributor requires.
Can you upgrade the main switchboard in an occupied apartment building?
Yes, and we do it regularly. We plan outage windows with the strata manager and give residents advance notice. Most main switchboard upgrades in apartment buildings are completed within a single working day. We minimise the live outage period and restore power to all lots before leaving the site.
How does strata lot metering work?
Lot metering assigns each individual unit its own National Metering Identifier (NMI) and electricity account, separate from the body corporate. We install individual smart meters for each lot, coordinate the new NMI assignments with the metering coordinator, and register each meter with the relevant energy retailer. This eliminates shared billing disputes and is increasingly required for new strata developments under planning conditions.
Our strata building received a defect notice from Ausgrid. What happens now?
A defect notice from Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy must be rectified by an authorised Level 2 ASP within the specified timeframe or risk disconnection. We attend the building, assess the defect, provide a written scope of works and quote, carry out the rectification, and lodge the compliance certificate directly with the network. Call us on 0466 125 125 and we will attend within 24 hours for a free assessment.
Can you install EV charging in a strata car park?
Yes. EV charging in strata buildings requires careful planning to avoid overloading the building's incoming supply. We assess the existing infrastructure, design a charging solution with appropriate load management, carry out any necessary switchboard or supply upgrades, and install the dedicated charging circuits. Where the building's current supply is insufficient, we coordinate a supply upgrade directly with Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy.
What areas of Sydney do you service for strata electrical work?
We carry out strata electrical work across all of Greater Sydney. This covers every Ausgrid zone (Eastern Suburbs, Inner West, CBD, North Shore, Northern Beaches, Hills District) and every Endeavour Energy zone (Western Sydney, Parramatta, Penrith, Liverpool, Campbelltown, and Wollongong).
