Overhead & Underground Service Connections

Professional Overhead & Underground Service Connections

Overhead and underground service connections allow your property to receive power directly from the electrical network. These connections must be installed, upgraded or repaired by a licensed Level 2 electrician who is authorised to work on network interface equipment. Fraser Electrical provides safe and compliant overhead and underground service connections across the Central Coast. We install new connections for homes and businesses, upgrade existing supply arrangements and ensure all work meets Ausgrid and NSW Service and Installation Rules.

A properly installed service connection ensures your property receives a stable and reliable electrical supply without the risk of faults or safety hazards. Whether your connection runs overhead from a pole or underground through a buried conduit, it must be installed with care and in line with strict standards. Our team has extensive experience working with a wide range of service configurations and delivers practical, high-quality installation for every type of property.

What Overhead & Underground Service Connections Involve

Service connections are the point where the electrical network links to your property’s electrical system. They may be overhead service cables connected from a power pole to the building or underground consumer mains that run through a conduit and terminate at the switchboard. As this work involves live supply equipment only Level 2 electricians are authorised to perform these installations.

We work with:

  • Overhead service lines
  • Underground consumer mains
  • Single phase and three phase connections
  • Aerial bundled cable
  • Conduits and protective infrastructure
  • New connections for home builds
  • Upgrades to existing supply arrangements

Our installations are completed using approved materials and follow the exact standards required by Ausgrid and NSW regulations.

Our Service Connection Installation Process

We follow a structured process to ensure every connection is completed to a high standard.

1
Site Assessment

We assess the property to determine the appropriate connection method. This includes reviewing site layout, access points, safety considerations and network requirements.

2
Planning and Preparation

We plan the connection route, select the correct cable type and confirm the installation requirements with respect to Ausgrid standards.

3
Supply Isolation

If replacing or upgrading a connection, we isolate the supply safely before work begins.

4
Installation

We install the overhead or underground service line using network-approved materials. This may involve connecting aerial cable to a point of attachment or pulling underground cable through buried conduit.

5
Network Termination

We connect the service line to the network point which may be a pole, pit or pillar. All terminations are completed by accredited Level 2 electricians.

6
Testing and Safety Checks

We test the supply, confirm correct voltage and check all components for compliance and safe operation.

7
Reconnection

Once the installation is complete the supply is restored and the connection is placed into service.

This systematic approach ensures the installation is completed safely and ready for long-term use.
