Sparksense Electrical provides reactive electrical repairs and ongoing maintenance for homes, businesses, and managed properties across the Central Coast and Newcastle. From a single dead power point to a fault that has taken out a section of a commercial site, every job is diagnosed by a licensed electrician, repaired to current NSW standards, and tested before the power goes back on.
No guesswork, no quick resets that mask the problem, the cause is found and corrected. Founded by Drew Keating and backed by 15+ years across domestic, commercial, and industrial work, Sparksense is fully licensed (NSW Electrical Contractor Licence 376 442C), insured to $20 million, and 5-star rated on Google. The team works to a simple standard: the work is done right, it is left safe, and the site is left cleaner than it was found.
Repair and Maintenance work is everything that needs attention when something goes wrong, as opposed to planned installs or upgrades. It splits into two parts that often go hand in hand:
Reactive electrical repairs are fault-driven. A breaker keeps tripping, a circuit has gone dead, a switch is warm, a light fitting has failed, a licensed electrician attends, diagnoses the fault, and repairs it.
Maintenance is preventative. Regular inspections, testing, and small corrective works that keep an electrical system safe and compliant and stop small issues becoming expensive failures. For commercial sites this often runs to a scheduled program; for homes it is usually a periodic safety inspection.
You may need electrical repairs or maintenance if:
✓ Switchboards that trip, buzz, smell hot, or show scorching
✓ Circuits that keep tripping or won’t reset
✓ Dead power points, warm or crackling outlets, and faulty switches
✓ Flickering, dimming, or failing lighting and LED downlights
✓ Safety switch (RCD) faults and missing RCD protection
✓ Burning smells and overheating connections behind walls or fittings
✓ Storm, water, and moisture-related electrical faults
✓ Fault-finding and rectification of previous non-compliant work
If you smell burning, see smoke or sparks, or a circuit keeps tripping, switch off at the main and call a licensed electrician. If you see flames, get everyone out and call 000. Never open a switchboard or attempt electrical repairs yourself.
A professional safety inspection every 3-5 years is sensible for most homes, and especially worthwhile for older properties, after a renovation, or when buying. Sparksense can assess a switchboard, test safety switches, check ageing wiring, and advise on what applies to owner-occupied and rental properties, landlord safety-check obligations have tightened in recent years, and the team can help keep a property compliant.
Where an older board is the root of repeated faults, an upgrade is the single biggest safety improvement most homes can make and it is the right first step before adding solar, a battery, or an EV charger.
Electrical faults on a commercial site are not just an inconvenience — they stop trade, breach compliance, and put people at risk. Sparksense provides reactive repairs and scheduled maintenance for shops, offices, warehouses, strata buildings, schools, and industrial sites, with the licensing, insurance, and experience to work safely on larger and more complex systems.
The team has delivered work for clients including NSW Transport, Cushman & Wakefield, and a range of commercial, education, and industrial sites — from switchboard replacements at public schools to large-scale infrastructure upgrades. That breadth means commercial faults are diagnosed against real-world experience of how these systems behave under load.
Repair across single and three-phase systems
Switchboard and distribution board faults
Across retail, office, and warehouse spaces
Trade and operation interruptions
Load management issues on sites running high-demand equipment
Including correct protection per circuit
For managed properties and businesses, planned maintenance keeps electrical systems safe, compliant, and dependable — and avoids the cost and downtime of reactive failures.
Sparksense can set up periodic inspection and testing programs scaled to the site, document what has been checked, and flag works before they become faults.
This is particularly valuable for strata managers, facility managers, and building managers responsible for compliance across a portfolio.
