The Local Sparky Hervey Bay Trusts
Our Sparky was started by Alex Tweed — a Queensland-licensed electrician with over a decade of hands-on experience — and his partner Teneka, who runs the business side and looks after every customer who calls. Together we built Our Sparky to be the kind of local trade business we'd want to deal with ourselves: turn up when we say we will, do the job properly, and leave the place as we found it.
We live in Hervey Bay, our team is from Hervey Bay, and we know the houses, the suburbs, and the way things are wired around here — from the older brick-and-tile homes in Pialba and Scarness through to the new builds going up in Eli Waters, Wondunna, and out toward Maryborough. That local knowledge means faster diagnosis, no guesswork, and quotes that match what the job actually needs.
Every job we do is carried out under our Queensland Electrical Contractor Licence (LIC1509719). We're fully insured, we're ARC-licensed for refrigerant work on air conditioning, and we use parts and materials up to Australian safety standards — never the cheapest options that fail in two years.
Our Services
Licensed Queensland Electricians
Electrical Contractor Licence LIC1509719. Every job is performed by a licensed electrician — no unqualified labour, no shortcuts. Compliant with Queensland's Electrical Safety Act 2002.
Locally Based in Hervey Bay
We live and work on the Fraser Coast. Our team knows the suburbs, the housing stock, and the local conditions — from coastal salt-air corrosion through to acreage three-phase setups.
ARC-Licensed for Air Conditioning
Our team holds the ARC refrigerant handling licence required for legal split-system and ducted air conditioning work in Australia. Many cheap quotes around town don't.
Upfront Pricing, No Call-Out Fees
We quote the job before we start, and what we quote is what you pay. No call-out fees, no surprise extras, no last-minute upsells when we're already on site.
Fully Insured & Workmanship Guaranteed
Public liability and full workmanship guarantee on every job. If something we installed isn't right, we come back and make it right — no argument.
