For Level 2 electrical work in Newtown, Castellano Electrical is your authorised, fully insured local choice — connected, disconnected and certified to Ausgrid's standards. Whether you need a new connection, an urgent after-hours disconnection, underground power or a three-phase upgrade, we handle the work and the Ausgrid paperwork end to end.
Locally, a dense Inner-West suburb of Victorian terraces where overhead-to-underground conversions and switchboard upgrades are common during renovations. Near landmarks such as King Street, Camperdown Memorial Rest Park and Sydney University (nearby), that means a steady mix of new connections, service upgrades and consumer-mains work — all of it network-side jobs that only a Level 2 ASP can legally perform.
Newtown falls within the Ausgrid distribution area, so any connection, disconnection or service upgrade here must be carried out by a Level 2 ASP authorised for Ausgrid — and we are. Ausgrid operates the electricity network across the Sydney CBD, eastern suburbs, inner west, lower and upper north shore, northern beaches, the Central Coast and the Hunter.
Whether you are renovating an older Newtown home, building new, adding solar or upgrading for ducted air conditioning or an EV charger, the moment the job touches the supply between the Ausgrid network and your meter it becomes Level 2 ASP work. A standard electrician cannot legally connect, disconnect or alter that supply, and Ausgrid will not energise work done by a non-ASP.
If something goes wrong with the supply in Newtown — a meter box fire, storm damage to the overhead service, or flooding around the switchboard — it is an emergency that needs isolating at the Ausgrid network immediately. Our 24/7 team responds to Newtown day or night, makes the site safe, and handles the repair or reconnection.
From our Smithfield base we reach Newtown in around 32 minutes (about 28km), and we also serve neighbouring Marrickville, Leichhardt and Surry Hills. Our 24/7 emergency team covers Newtown day and night.
From the first quote to the final Ausgrid sign-off, we keep Newtown customers informed and the work compliant. Request a free quote for planned work, or call our 24/7 line for anything urgent — and we will confirm your distributor (almost certainly Ausgrid for Newtown) and scope the job.
