Ausgrid · Inner West
Large blocks, larger renovations and a rail-junction history give Strathfield supplies more variety than almost any Inner West suburb, and Thorntek works on all of it. Switchboard upgrades pair with Level 2 consumer mains and service work on the Ausgrid network, quoted fixed and built with quality switchgear. The compliance trail, every approval and certificate, is completed by us.
01
Switchboard rebuilds in heritage homes are methodical: circuits traced and tested, a new board with RCBO safety switches fitted cleanly, results certified. Consumer mains upgrades replace the long runs across Strathfield's deep blocks, Level 2 network work we self-perform, with three-phase conversion where serious load is planned. Knockdown-rebuild projects get temporary builder's supply at the start and the permanent connection at the end, both arranged with Ausgrid by us. Defect notices are fixed at the cause and closed so they stay closed.
What we see most in Strathfield
Heritage homes around Redmyre Road hide original wiring behind new paint: fuse boards, degraded mains and overhead services spliced decades ago. The symptoms surface as nuisance trips and flickers long before anything fails outright. We renew supply and switchboard together, planned around your household.

Properties in Strathfield sit on the Ausgrid network. Every connection, disconnect, mains upgrade and meter changeover in Strathfield 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 Strathfield jobs.
Most of what Ausgrid flags around Strathfield 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.

Overhead services · Haberfield
Haberfield overhead service mains replacement to commercial tenancies
Thorntek replaced overhead service mains (95mm sq 4C ABC) from the network pole to point of attachment, transitioning via bi-metal lugs to 70mm sq copper service tails, with submain jointing to upstairs and downstairs boards.
Level 2 ASP · Marrickville
Marrickville building mains replacement and new main switchboard
Thorntek carried out planned Level 2 ASP works at a Marrickville commercial building: D+R at the network pole, replacement of the building mains, and installation of a new main switchboard. EWP set up on the footpath for overhead works.
Switchboard upgrade · Parramatta Road
Parramatta Road multi-tenancy 200A switchboard upgrade
Thorntek installed a new 200A main switchboard serving a multi-tenancy retail strip on Parramatta Road. Night EWP works with traffic control, branded switchboard door, gland plate, earthing and energisation.
