What Is an Electrical Defect Notice?
An electrical defect notice is issued when Ausgrid Electricity identifies equipment on your property that no longer meets current safety standards or presents a potential hazard.
Most defects involve electrical assets that are the responsibility of the property owner rather than the electricity distributor.
A defect notice doesn’t necessarily mean your power will be disconnected immediately, but it does mean repairs must be completed before the compliance deadline.
Ignoring the notice could result in your electricity supply being disconnected until the defect has been repaired and approved.
Why Have I Received an Electrical Defect Notice?
There are many reasons why an electrical defect notice may be issued.
Some of the most common include:
- Damaged or leaning private power poles
- Deteriorated overhead consumer mains
- Unsafe or exposed electrical wiring
- Defective point of attachment
- Damaged meter box
- Outdated switchboards
- Damaged earthing systems
- Low overhead electrical clearances
- Storm or impact damage
- Corroded electrical equipment
Many defects develop gradually over time and aren’t obvious until inspected by an authorised electrical inspector or Ausgrid representative.
Common Electrical Defects We Repair
Our experienced Level 2 Electricians regularly repair:
Private Power Pole Defects
Timber poles can deteriorate through rot, termites, weather damage or age, making replacement necessary to maintain safety.
Overhead Service Line Defects
Damaged or low-hanging consumer mains may require repair or complete replacement.
Meter Box Defects
Older meter boxes may no longer comply with current electrical standards and often require upgrading.
Switchboard Defects
Outdated ceramic fuses, damaged components or non-compliant switchboards are common reasons defect notices are issued.
Earthing Problems
Faulty earthing systems reduce electrical safety and require prompt attention.
Point of Attachment Repairs
The connection point where overhead power enters your property must remain secure and compliant.

Don’t Ignore an Electrical Defect Notice
Many property owners delay repairs because everything still appears to be working normally.
Unfortunately, many electrical defects aren’t immediately visible but can create serious safety risks, including electric shock, fire hazards and power failures.
If the deadline on your notice passes without repairs being completed, Ausgrid Electricity may disconnect your power supply until the defects have been rectified.
Arranging repairs early helps avoid unnecessary disruption and gives you peace of mind knowing your electrical installation is safe.
