If you’re considering hiring an electrician for an upcoming project, you may have come across ASP. Short for Accredited Service Provider, this numbered system guides exactly what a specific electrician can do on a property. With a scale from Level 1 to 3, accreditation lets you know whether an electrician is suited for a job – or whether it’s beyond their approved skillset.
So, what do those little numbers mean in the real world? What is a Level 2 ASP electrician, and when should you call one? Read on to find out.
ASP levels provide a quick and easy way to see what an electrician can do at a glance. But if you’re not familiar with the ASP rating system, that won’t mean much to you. The basics of ASP Levels are as follows:
Level 2 is the practical ‘catch-all’ within the Accredited Service Provider levels, providing the freedom to do most works without the need to go into the more technical design side over practical day-to-day hands-on work.
If any of the work carried out on electrics involved working with the electrical supply network, a Level 2 accreditation is necessary. Whether your property is residential, commercial or industrial, that legal requirement stays the same. This is, in part, to ensure the safety of everyone involved, as well as to prevent failure of the wider network.
Having a Level 2 ASP electrician on-site means you benefit from a highly-trained professional capable of installing switchboards, metering, adjusting mains connections, and handling any other installations. Wherever possible, using a Level 2 electrician is always the best bet to ensure work is done effectively and legally.
While opting for a cheaper electrician may seem like a good idea at the time, it can cost you far more to fix mistakes than it does to hire a qualified electrician. If an electrician is caught doing work, they are not accredited for, not only is the work illegal, but it must be redone by someone who is fully accredited and qualified.
