What a Defect Notice Actually Means
A defect notice means Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy has flagged your consumer mains, point of attachment, or metering as non-compliant or unsafe. It must be rectified by the stated date, and only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to carry out this wiring under AS/NZS 3000. Electrician Kanwal deals with these notices regularly for homeowners across the Central Coast.
Common Causes of a Defect Notice in Kanwal Homes
Ageing consumer mains
Kanwal's original 1970s and 80s consumer mains can fall short of current standards over time, prompting a network flag at inspection, especially where insulation has degraded.
A non-compliant point of attachment
The bracket connecting the service line to the house may have been installed to older standards or degraded over time, triggering a defect at inspection.
Outdated metering
Older meters or connections that no longer meet current network requirements are a common reason for a metering-related notice.
A property sale or renovation trigger
Defect notices are often issued after a network inspection triggered by a sale, upgrade, or nearby works, surfacing issues that had gone unnoticed for years.
Storm or weather-related damage
A previous storm can leave the service mains or point of attachment technically non-compliant even without an obvious visible fault, prompting a notice at the next inspection.
Is a Defect Notice Something to Worry About?
It should be taken seriously and actioned within the stated timeframe, but it is a compliance matter rather than an emergency in most cases. The key is not letting the deadline lapse.
- A defect notice has a rectification deadline that should not be ignored
- Most notices relate to compliance, not an immediate danger, but should still be actioned promptly
- Failing to rectify by the deadline can affect your power connection
What To Do Right Now
Read the notice carefully, then get a Level 2 ASP involved rather than attempting anything yourself. Acting early avoids a last-minute scramble before the deadline:
- Check the notice for the specific fault and the rectification deadline.
- Do not attempt to inspect or touch the flagged wiring yourself.
- Keep the notice paperwork on hand for your electrician.
- Book an inspection well before the deadline, not the week it is due.
- Call a Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) to arrange the rectification.

Why This Is Common in Older Kanwal Homes

Common questions
Defect Notice Received FAQs
Real questions Kanwal homeowners ask us after receiving a defect notice from Ausgrid or Endeavour Energy.
Is a defect notice from Ausgrid serious?
Yes, it must be rectified within the timeframe stated, but it is a compliance matter rather than an emergency, and a Level 2 ASP can usually resolve it quickly.
What causes a network defect notice?
Non-compliant or ageing consumer mains, a faulty point of attachment, or outdated metering that no longer meets current network standards are common causes.
What should I do if I receive a defect notice?
Read the notice for the rectification deadline, then call a Level 2 ASP to inspect the issue and arrange the repair before that date passes.
Do I need a Level 2 electrician to clear a defect notice?
Yes. Only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to carry out the network-side repairs needed to clear a defect notice and notify the network once done.
How much does it cost to fix a defect notice?
We provide a fixed, upfront quote after inspecting the notice, with $0 call-out and a free quote, so you know the cost before work starts.
Are defect notices common in older Kanwal homes?
Yes. Kanwal's 1970s and 80s consumer mains and metering can fall out of step with current standards over time, making a notice more likely in older streets.
