Defect Notice Rectification

Safe & Professional Defect Notice Rectification Services

Electrical defect notices are issued when a property’s electrical installation does not meet safety or compliance standards. These defects can pose significant risks if left unresolved and must be corrected by a qualified Level 2 electrician. Fraser Electrical provides safe and reliable defect notice rectification across the Central Coast. We work with homeowners, landlords and businesses to resolve electrical defects quickly and ensure the installation meets Ausgrid and NSW Service and Installation Rules.

Receiving a defect notice can be stressful, but most issues are straightforward to fix with the right approach. Our team has extensive experience identifying and correcting defects for both overhead and underground supply systems. We complete a detailed assessment, repair all non-compliant components and confirm that the property meets all required electrical standards.

What an Electrical Defect Notice Means

An electrical defect notice is issued by a network provider when they identify a safety issue or non-compliant electrical installation. The notice outlines the specific problems and provides a timeframe for repairs. If the issues are not corrected in time the network may disconnect the property from supply until the defects are resolved.

Common reasons for defect notices include:

  • Damaged or deteriorated service lines
  • Unsafe or incorrect meter installations
  • Faulty consumer mains
  • Low or unsafe overhead line clearances
  • Corroded or unstable private power poles
  • Non-compliant switchboards
  • Exposed or unsafe cabling
  • Incorrect UV-damaged cabling
  • Unsafe or deteriorated point of attachment brackets

All defects must be rectified by a qualified Level 2 electrician who is authorised to work on network supply equipment.
