What matters for electrical in Tamworth

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.
