The Level 2 other electricians About us

We are an ASP Level 2 accredited electrical contractor based in Riverwood, working across Sydney on all three networks since 2016. Poles, service mains, meters, consumer mains and defect notices — the part of the job a general electrician is not permitted to touch.

Who we are

One contractor, one margin.

Brilliant Electric started in 2016 with a single van and one idea: that the person quoting the job should also be the person doing it. Nine years on that has not changed. When you call, you speak to a Level 2 who has been up the pole, not to a call centre reading from a script.

Most people find us because someone else told them to. A builder, a real estate agent, an energy retailer, or a general electrician who has hit the limit of what their licence allows. That electrician can bring a Level 2 in and mark it up on top of their own work — or you can come to us direct and pay one contractor once.

We are accredited and authorised on Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy, which means we do not have to hand your job to someone else when it crosses a network boundary.

Where most of our work sits, and our specialty

How we got here

Nine years, in order.

Nothing dramatic. A licence, then an accreditation, then the jobs that other people would not take on.

2016

Brilliant Electric opens in Riverwood

NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 381215C, one van, and mostly residential switchboard and service work through the St George area.

2018

Authorised across all three networks

Accreditation under the ASP scheme is one thing; authorisation by each distributor is separate. Holding both on Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy meant we could follow work anywhere in the state.

2020

Commercial and institutional sites

TAFE NSW Miller Campus, Mona Vale Hospital, Wet’n’Wild Blacktown, PARKROYAL Parramatta, Barangaroo and The Hustle Community Centre. Bigger supply, tighter access, more paperwork.

2023

Above 100 amps becomes the specialty

Past 100 amps the distributor reviews every application individually and the job stops being routine. Workshops, high load homes and commercial fit-outs are now the bulk of what we quote.

Today

Still answering our own phone

Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, Saturday by appointment. No 24/7 line, because we would rather be honest about that than promise it and miss.

How we work

Four things we will not talk you out of.

These are the rules the business runs on. They are also the reasons people call us back.

Direct

You deal with the Level 2

The phone is answered by the people doing the work. If your job does not actually need a Level 2, we will tell you that too, even though it means we do not get it.

Written

A scope and a price before we start

In writing, every time. If the scope changes once we are on site — rock under the pole hole, an asbestos panel nobody mentioned — you hear about it before we proceed, not on the invoice.

Documented

Paperwork you can actually use

Network notifications, testing, and your CCEW and NOSW certificates. They prove the work was done lawfully and to standard, and you will want them the day you sell.

Backed

Lifetime on our workmanship

Twelve months on materials, lifetime on our workmanship, with one condition we would rather state plainly than bury: it applies provided no other contractor has worked on the installation since we did.

Our private pole collapsed and was disconnected by Ausgrid. Brilliant arrived within an hour of me calling them. Within several hours they got my power back on. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a Level 2 Electrician. Thanks again!

Andrew Leonga year ago

Couldn't be happier with the results from brilliant. Upgraded all lights to led downlights and added two pendant lights in the kitchen. Highly recommend these blokes for all your electrical needs!

Where we work

Based in Riverwood, working Sydney wide.

Most of our work runs through Ryde and Eastwood, Chatswood and the lower North Shore, Randwick and the eastern suburbs, and Hurstville and the St George area. We also work East Hills, Panania, Revesby and out toward Liverpool.

Almost all of that area is Ausgrid. Liverpool is Endeavour Energy. Because we are accredited and authorised on both, plus Essential Energy, your job does not get handed to someone else at the boundary.
