What No Power to the Whole Property Actually Means
This is the wiring between the street or pole and your meter, work only a Level 2 ASP is licensed to touch, not the switchboard inside your home. If your neighbours still have power and your whole property is dark, the fault sits in the service mains, the point of attachment, or the network connection itself, and it needs a Level 2 ASP to safely diagnose and rectify.
Common Causes of No Power to a Whole Property
A fault in the service mains
The overhead or underground cable running from the street or pole to your meter box has failed, cutting supply to the entire property at once.
A failed point of attachment
The bracket or fitting where the service line attaches to your house has come loose or failed, breaking the connection to the network.
A lost neutral or main connection fault
A loose or failed connection at the network's end can drop supply completely, even though the street transformer is working normally.
Storm or wind damage to overhead mains
Wind, falling branches, or debris around the Budgewoi Lake foreshore can pull or snap the service line, especially during Central Coast storm season.
Is No Power to the Whole Property Dangerous?
Yes, treat this as urgent. A fault in live service mains or a failed connection point can present a genuine shock or fire risk near the meter box and should never be investigated by anyone but a Level 2 ASP.
- Never touch the meter box, service line, or point of attachment yourself
- A low or damaged line near the ground or house is a serious hazard
- This is Level 2 work, a standard electrician cannot legally rectify it
What To Do Right Now
Stay well clear of the meter box and service line, and take these safe steps while you wait for us:
- Confirm with a neighbour whether the street still has power.
- Switch off major appliances at the wall so nothing surges when power returns.
- Do not touch the meter box, service line, or any exposed wiring.
- Keep children and pets away from the area near the meter box.
- Call a Level 2 ASP (Lic #451348C) to assess and reconnect safely.

Common questions
No Power to Whole Property FAQs
Straight answers for Buff Point homeowners facing a full property outage.
Is losing power to the whole property dangerous?
It can be. A fault in the service mains or connection point can involve live, damaged wiring, so treat it as urgent and avoid touching anything near the meter box.
What causes a whole property to lose power while the street still has it?
A fault in the service mains, the point of attachment, or the main network connection is the usual cause, not the switchboard, which is why a Level 2 ASP is needed.
What should I do if my whole property has no power?
Check with a neighbour that the street has power, switch off major appliances, and call a Level 2 ASP rather than touching the meter box or mains yourself.
Do I need a Level 2 electrician for this, or a normal electrician?
You need a Level 2 ASP. The wiring between the street or pole and your meter is not something a standard electrician is licensed to touch.
How much does it cost to fix a service mains fault?
We provide a free quote and fixed upfront pricing once we've assessed the fault, with $0 call-out fees, so there are no surprises on the bill.
Is this a common issue in older Buff Point homes near the lake?
Yes. Ageing overhead mains on Buff Point's 1960s to 1980s housing stock, combined with lakeside storms, make service mains faults a regular call-out here.
