Installation, upgrade and repair of overhead and underground service lines so Sydney properties have a safe, reliable supply path from network to switchboard. If the job points to a wider level 2 electrical services (asp-accredited) need, Proelec Group can also advise on level 2 new connections & disconnections and meter installations & relocations so the excavation sequence supports the whole site plan.
How Proelec Group approaches the job
Each electrical job is planned around safety, supply condition, access, outage timing, existing switchboard or metering constraints and the finish needed by the property owner, builder or next trade. The aim is clear, compliant work that avoids avoidable rework.
- Assess whether overhead, underground or repair work is the right path for the property.
- Plan the route, clearances and connection points before the supply-side work begins.
- Complete the installation or repair with testing and practical handover notes.
What to prepare before booking
A short brief is usually enough to scope the next step. Helpful details include the suburb, photos of the meter or switchboard, any defect notice, access constraints, timing requirements and whether builders, tenants or other trades are involved.
- Send photos of the switchboard, meter, service line, private pole or affected electrical area if safe to do so.
- Share plans, defect notices, builder requirements or solar and battery documents if available.
- Confirm whether the work is urgent, whether power is currently off and whether a planned outage is acceptable.
Common questions
Proelec Group can advise on the safest and most practical next step once the current supply, site access and electrical symptoms are clear.
- Can overhead supply be moved underground? Often it can, but it depends on site access, conduit route, switchboard condition and distributor requirements.
- Who repairs a damaged point of attachment? A Level 2 electrician is usually required for supply-side repairs.
- Do underground service lines need trenching? In most cases yes, and the trench route should be planned before work starts.
