Ausgrid · Inner West
Burwood's inter-war homes and growing apartment stock both lean on Thorntek for the same pairing: a modern switchboard and a supply that can feed it. We hold Level 2 accreditation for Ausgrid network work, so consumer mains, service lines and metering travel on the same fixed quote as the board. Quality components and completed paperwork are part of every job, not options.
01
A renovation-driven upgrade usually lands as a package: new consumer mains sized for the finished home, a switchboard rebuilt with RCBO safety switches and surge protection, and three-phase supply where ducted air or EV charging is planned, all under our Level 2 accreditation. Older homes along the Burwood Road end keep us busy with overhead service replacement and point of attachment repairs. Strata bring us main switchboard rebuilds with planned, notified outages. Defect notices are rectified and closed direct with Ausgrid, certificate supplied to you.
What we see most in Burwood
When a 1930s home near Burwood Park gets a second storey and a modern kitchen, the original supply quietly becomes the bottleneck: tripping breakers, dimming lights, a board with no room. We resize the consumer mains and rebuild the switchboard so the renovation performs the way it was drawn.

Properties in Burwood sit on the Ausgrid network. Every connection, disconnect, mains upgrade and meter changeover in Burwood is lodged with Ausgrid and approved by them before energising.
As a Ausgrid Accredited Service Provider, Thorntek lodges the application, does the network work and arranges the energising in one program. You don't deal with the network — we handle every approval and form. Fast turnaround on standard Burwood jobs.
Most of what Ausgrid flags around Burwood is overhead: defect notices on low or sagging service lines, failing points of attachment on older fascias and terrace parapets, perished service-line insulation, and undersized consumer mains on the established housing stock. That is core Level 2 ASP work, and it is what we are on the tools doing every day.
Common defect notices in Inner West:
Local context · Inner West
What's specific about electrical work in this part of Sydney.
Long runs of single-phase aerial services on close-spaced terraces drive recurring defect notices when load grows. Warehouse-to-residential conversions frequently expose legacy switchboards that no longer comply once kitchens and air conditioning are added.
