What is An Electrical Defect Notice?
Firstly an Electrical Defect Notice is a notice given by Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy to notify the tenant that their electrical connection does not comply with electrical standards. In NSW, the connection must fulfil safety standards provided by Ausgrid Network and regulation under NSW Electricity Supply Act 1995 and Electricity (Consumer Safety) Regulation 2006.
Why did I receive a Defect Notice?
Over time, cables and electrical equipment can become damaged and decrease in quality. This often occurred due to unforeseen circumstances or exposure various elements. For instance, when a defect notice is issued, it is mandatory to contact a local Level 2 Authorised Service Provider (ASP) Electrician. The electrician will further investigate and repair the defect issue. In other words, this specific task must be carried by a Level 2 ASP Electrician. The task must be carried by Level 2 ASP Electricians because they are equipped with training, skills, tools and certified to resolve defects on the electrical supply to operate.

There are a few possible circumstances that can cause defects to consumer main cables, which include (but are not limited to)

There have been circumstances where our level 2 electricians have been instructed to repair items that were not part of the defect notice. This can be a mistake that costs you unnecessary money
Most commonly a Defect Repair Notice left by the energy provider can be rectified or repaired within 2 business days. If the works are urgent repairs we can come out on the same day usually within the hour
Most commonly no. Defect Repairs are most commonly minor repair jobs. But if the repairs involve major works this is where a repair can cost thousands of dollars.
