Do I need a level 2 electrician for my switchboard upgrade?

Most internal switchboard upgrades only require a standard licensed electrician. If the service line connection between your property and the street network needs replacing or reconnecting, a level 2 electrician is mandatory.

How much does an electrician cost in the City of Newcastle Council area?
