Authorised consumer mains rewiring specialists across Sydney
Done Right Electrical delivers accredited Level 2 ASP consumer mains installations, underground cabling and defect clearances across Sydney.
Consumer mains are the primary electrical arteries that deliver power from the network point of common coupling to your switchboard. Many older Sydney homes still rely on 6mm or 10mm copper mains, or perilous Vulcanised Indian Rubber (VIR) cabling that crumbles under modern electrical loads. As accredited Level 2 ASP electricians, we disconnect service power at the pole or pillar. We excavate compliant trenches, pull new 16mm or 25mm XLPE copper cables, and lodge mandatory compliance certificates. Operated by DONE RIGHT ELECTRICAL SERVICES PTY LTD (ABN 32 675 365 867).
