AUSGRID OVERHEAD SERVICE MAINS

Overhead service mains are the aerial cables running from the Ausgrid pole to the point of attachment on your home. Common across established Ausgrid suburbs on the North Shore, Eastern Suburbs and Inner West, they must meet strict clearance and attachment standards. Sydney Power Group is an Ausgrid authorised Level 2 ASP installing, repairing and replacing overhead service mains across the Ausgrid network.

Overhead Connections on the Ausgrid Network

An overhead service line must maintain safe clearances above driveways, roofs and gardens, and terminate at a sound point of attachment. Over time, trees grow, buildings extend and attachments corrode — all of which can breach Ausgrid clearances and trigger a defect notice. We assess the run and bring it back within standard.

Storm & Weather Damage

Sydney storms regularly bring down or damage overhead service lines, especially in leafy North Shore and Northern Beaches streets. A drooping, frayed or detached service line is dangerous and needs an authorised Level 2 ASP to make safe and repair. For urgent situations see our emergency Level 2 electrician — we respond 24/7 across the Ausgrid area.

Overhead to Underground Conversions

Renovating or rebuilding? Many owners take the opportunity to convert an ageing overhead service to a tidy underground service main. We handle the conversion end to end on the Ausgrid network — removing the overhead run, trenching the new underground cable, and reconnecting at the switchboard.

Level 2 ASP Work

Because overhead service mains attach directly to the Ausgrid network, only an authorised Level 2 ASP can work on them. We install to Ausgrid Network Standards, restore compliant clearances, and lodge the paperwork. Call 0466 125 125 or reach us via the contact page.
