What we do
All-round residential electrical from a local who's seen it all — with commercial and industrial work on the books too.
Barry
Owner & licensed electrician
About
Sparkies Electrical is Barry — a Helensvale electrician who's been looking after Gold Coast locals since 2001. Call the number and you get Barry himself, not an answering service: he turns up when he says he will, explains what's going on, and quotes honestly. As he puts it, he's a local electrician looking after local people.
For bigger jobs Barry works alongside his offsider Troy, and between them they carry a big range of parts so most jobs are finished in one visit. From a single power point to a full renovation — and Sunday or cyclone-weather callouts when it really matters — no job's too small.
Reviews
"I would never use any other Electrician on the Gold Coast other than Sparkies. Barry helped me in a crisis and his genuine honest customer approach is outstanding."
"Called out to look at a broken fan. Arrived 10 mins later, worked out what the problem was within 5 mins and didn't even charge me."
"Great old fashioned service and pricing. No job too small, would highly recommend supporting this local business. Barry was prompt and professional and the work was completed to a very high standard."
"Rang and he came within 1/2 hour of calling him. Worked out the problem quickly then fixed the problem with the hot water system. Very honest and reliable."

Our work
Real jobs from around the Gold Coast — the work behind the five-star reviews.

Ceiling fans
Eight ceiling fans in one visit
Eight fans replaced through a home in a single prompt visit, the old ones removed and the site cleaned up before Barry left.

Hot water fault fixed same day
Called about a hot water system fault; Barry was there within half an hour, found the problem fast and had the hot water back on.
Make-safe
Renovation make-safe, left safe
Came straight out to an unsafe situation mid-renovation and didn't leave until every circuit was made safe and signed off.
Smoke alarms
Smoke alarm sorted, no charge
A faulty smoke alarm replaced months after install at no charge — and an old light switch swapped over while he was there.
