Licensed Level 2 ASP installation of controlled load meters and dedicated circuits — for hot water, pool pumps and other appliances — with the Endeavour Energy network application handled for you.
Off Peak Meter Installation Quakers Hill
Off-peak meters are innovative devices that intelligently manage your home's electricity usage by automatically switching the power source during times when electricity is less in demand and cheaper, typically overnight. For homes in Quakers Hill and across the Blacktown City Council, these meters are an essential part of modern energy management — helping you leverage lower Endeavour Energy network rates without sacrificing convenience.
Not Just for Hot Water — Controlled Load for Any Suitable Appliance in Quakers Hill
Off-peak (controlled load) metering runs a dedicated circuit for an appliance that doesn't need to operate during the day, switching it to a separate, cheaper overnight tariff. Hot water is the most common use in Quakers Hill homes, but it's not the only one.

Your Electrician and Your Retailer Play Different Roles
A common point of confusion for Quakers Hill homeowners — here's the clean split.
Your Level 2 Electrician
Installs the dedicated circuit, connects the meter, lodges the Notice of Service Work with Endeavour Energy, and issues your Certificate of Electrical Safety. This is licensed Level 2 ASP work — a standard electrician isn't authorised to connect to the distribution network.
Your Energy Retailer
Owns the tariff itself and configures the controlled load rate on your account once the metering is in place. You'll need to contact them after installation to have the off-peak tariff added to your plan.
Why This Must Be Level 2 ASP Work
A controlled load meter connects directly to the Endeavour Energy distribution network — the network that services Quakers Hill and the wider Blacktown City Council — which is why installation must be carried out by a licensed Level 2 Accredited Service Provider rather than a standard electrician. We're accredited with Endeavour Energy and manage the assessment, dedicated circuit installation, network notification and Certificate of Electrical Safety as one coordinated job.
Off-Peak vs. Peak Rates in Quakers Hill
Electricity rates fluctuate throughout the day based on overall demand on the Endeavour Energy grid. During peak hours, typically late afternoon and early evening, rates are highest as most households are actively using electricity. Off-peak hours, usually overnight, see significantly reduced rates due to lower overall usage.
Plan Around Cheaper Hours
By understanding and utilising off-peak rates, Quakers Hill homeowners can strategically plan electricity use around lower-cost periods, effectively reducing monthly bills. Running a dishwasher, washing machine, or your hot water system during off-peak hours can lead to noticeable savings.

FAQs
In Quakers Hill, as elsewhere on the Endeavour Energy network, off-peak hot water typically starts at 10pm and runs through to 7am every day. This is the controlled load window used by Endeavour Energy, during which your electric hot water system draws power at the cheaper off-peak tariff. Some retailers may have slightly different windows depending on your plan, so it's worth confirming once your meter is installed.
Off-peak meter installation in Quakers Hill must be carried out by a licensed Level 2 ASP (Accredited Service Provider) electrician, because the controlled load meter connects directly to the Endeavour Energy distribution network.
