Connekt Electrical
Electrical Disconnects & Reconnects
Connekt Electrical ensure properties are safely isolated from the electricity network during construction and properly reconnected when work completes. As a level 2 electrician with ASP status, direct coordination with energy distributors arranges safe disconnection and reconnection, specialised work that standard electricians simply cannot perform legally.
Safe Power Disconnection for Major Renovations
Property renovations often require electrical disconnection for safety during construction, particularly when work involves significant structural changes, new service mains installation, or switchboard relocation. Major renovations can potentially damage existing electrical infrastructure, create serious hazards with exposed wiring, or require temporary removal of electrical equipment to protect it during construction. Proper disconnection eliminates these risks entirely. Demolition work absolutely requires proper electrical disconnection before demolishing any structure with an electrical connection. This critical step prevents dangerous live wires and ensures full compliance with safety regulations. Demolishing buildings without proper electrical disconnection creates extreme hazards including serious electrocution risks, potential for devastating electrical fires, exposed live infrastructure endangering workers, and significant liability issues.
Temporary Power Removal for Upgrades and Property Relocations
Electrical system upgrades typically require temporary disconnection while major work gets completed. Upgrading service mains, replacing meter boxes, or installing new overhead service lines all need power safely isolated during the work. This often coordinates with other major electrical projects like switchboard upgrades or power pole installation work on the Central Coast, allowing comprehensive electrical system improvements. Building relocations require complete disconnection before moves and full reconnection at new locations. Moving structures with connected electrical service is impossible and creates extremely dangerous situations. Extended property vacancy periods allow disconnection to prevent unauthorised electricity use and significantly reduce ongoing holding costs when properties will sit vacant for extended periods.
The Electrical Disconnection Process
Professional disconnection involves careful coordination with energy distributors to schedule disconnection at times that suit your project timelines and minimise inconvenience. Distributors send qualified technicians to safely isolate your property at the connection point, typically at the power pole or street-level infrastructure. All necessary paperwork and compliance requirements get handled properly, ensuring everything is documented correctly. Before disconnection occurs, comprehensive advice gets provided on protecting your electrical systems during construction and what preparations are essential for eventual reconnection. This includes covering exposed electrical equipment to prevent damage, protecting switchboards from construction dust and debris infiltration, and ensuring internal wiring won't be damaged during building work.
Safe Electrical Reconnection Process
Reconnection happens when your project completes and you're ready to restore power supply. All electrical installations get thoroughly inspected to ensure everything is safe, fully compliant, and ready for reconnection. Careful coordination with distributors schedules reconnection appointments at convenient times. There's professional presence during reconnection to verify proper operation and immediately address any issues that might arise. You receive all required compliance certificates and comprehensive documentation confirming your electrical system meets current standards, essential for project completion and regulatory compliance.
Legal Requirements for Authorised Power Isolation
Legal requirements strictly mandate that only authorised level 2 electricians with ASP accreditation can arrange disconnection and reconnection through energy distributors on the Central Coast. Attempting unauthorised disconnection is both illegal and extremely dangerous, potentially resulting in severe penalties and creating life-threatening situations. Professional disconnection ensures absolutely no live wires remain that could endanger construction workers, contractors, or anyone on your property during building work.
Ensuring Compliance and Preventing Construction Damage
Proper professional disconnection prevents costly project delays that inevitably result from improper procedures or failed reconnection attempts when work completes. All processes get streamlined through expert coordination with energy distributors, ensuring required compliance certification, and protecting valuable electrical infrastructure from construction damage. This professional approach potentially saves thousands in unnecessary repairs and project delays.

Customer Testimonials
Honest Reviews from our Customers
Jane Anderson
Erina Property Owner
“Our old timber power pole was deteriorating badly and needed replacement. This seemed like a complex job involving the electricity distributor, and I wasn’t sure where to start. Matt handled absolutely everything.
He assessed the pole, explained what needed doing, provided a detailed quote, and coordinated all the distributor requirements. The whole process was seamless from our perspective, Matt managed all the complicated bits and kept us informed throughout.
The new pole installation was completed professionally and passed all inspections first time. Really impressed with how Matt handled a project that could have been a nightmare of coordination and paperwork. Would definitely recommend Connekt Electrical for this type of specialised work.”
David T.

“Had a genuinely scary situation on a Sunday evening, sparking from our switchboard and burning smell. Called Connekt Electrical’s emergency number not really expecting anyone to answer, but Matt picked up immediately. He asked questions to assess the situation, told us to turn off power at the main switch, and said he’d be there within the hour.
True to his word, he arrived quickly, diagnosed the problem (loose connection causing dangerous arcing), and fixed it properly. He didn’t rush the job despite it being Sunday night, made sure everything was completely safe, and explained what had caused the problem.
Really appreciated the rapid response and professional service during what was a stressful situation. The pricing was fair even for emergency callout. This is the kind of reliable service you want to know exists when emergencies happen.”
