What matters for electrical in Maitland

  • A NSW electrician must lodge a Certificate of Compliance Electrical Work through the Building Commission NSW eCert portal as soon as practical and no later than seven days after testing the work. Give the electrician your email address so the copy comes to you, and keep it with your property papers.

  • In NSW the wiring between the network pole, the point of attachment, the meter and the main switchboard is Level 2 work, and only an Accredited Service Provider (ASP) accredited by Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy or Essential Energy may do it. A general electrical licence is not enough for a switchboard or meter upgrade that touches the service mains.

  • In NSW a licence is required for residential building work and for wiring, plumbing, draining, gasfitting, air conditioning and refrigeration work, apart from plug-in appliances. You can check any licence for free on the Service NSW public register before you let anyone start.

  • The NSW register can be searched by licensee name, licence number, licence type, ABN, ACN or suburb, so you can find a trade even if all you have is the name on the quote.
