We had Colby attend our property due to faulty power points in our kitchen and inspection of power circuits in our new property in Lake Macquarie. He was amazing in direct support and reassurance from our initial call on a Saturday afternoon, as we had concerns of potenital fire hazard due to a powerpoint having blue/green substance coming out of it. He attended on the following Monday with great professionalism, provided guidance on some additional works we wanted quoted, and respectfully down to earth in his approach which was valued. Would highly recommend Dark Spark Electrical Solutions for future works.

What we do

From electrical safety inspections to new builds, and everything in between. Whatever your electrical needs, we're here to help.

Switchboard upgrades

Your switchboard is at the heart of your home's electrical safety. If it's outdated, showing signs of wear, or no longer providing the protection your home requires, it's definitely time for an upgrade. With safety and compliance at the forefront, we specialise in modern switchboard upgrades designed to protect your home, family and electrical systems, giving you reliable protection and peace of mind.

It may be time to upgrade if:

  • Your switchboard has old ceramic or rewireable fuses
  • Your home has limited or outdated safety-switch protection
  • You notice burn marks, heat, buzzing or unusual smells
  • Circuit breakers are frequently tripping
  • You're renovating, adding new electrical loads or installing new appliances
  • You're adding solar, batteries, EV charging or other high-demand systems
  • Your switchboard is old, overcrowded or showing signs of deterioration
  • You want to bring your electrical protection up to current requirements where applicable

Our story

The story behind our logo.

The Dark Spark Electrical Solutions logo icon

Our logo is a visual representation of where Dark Spark comes from, where we are heading, and the people we take with us along the way.

The lightning bolt

At the centre of the design is the lightning bolt, flowing through the artwork as a representation of the spark of light. It reflects Dark Spark's connection to the electrical industry, while also symbolising the energy, purpose and drive behind the business.

The kangaroo tracks

The kangaroo tracks represent movement, moving forward and progressing toward the future. They also reflect our connection to Country, with the seeds throughout the design symbolising the importance of planting foundations on Country and creating opportunities that can grow for future generations.

The journey lines

The journey lines represent Colby's personal journey and connection with others along the way. They reflect the belief that success is not a journey taken alone, but one shaped by the people, relationships and communities we encounter and support along the way.

The dots

The dots, progressing from smaller to larger, represent generational impact, change and opportunity. They symbolise the growth of Dark Spark and our vision to create opportunities that extend beyond the present, creating a positive impact for generations to come.

Together, these elements create an identity that represents electrical expertise, connection to Country, personal journey, community and generational opportunity, values that sit at the heart of Dark Spark Electrical Solutions.

Designed with meaning

The Dark Spark logo was designed by Wiradjuri artist Leticia Anne Forbes, bringing together the electrical identity of Dark Spark with meaningful Indigenous storytelling and visual representation.

The result is more than a logo. It is the story of our journey, our connection to Country and our vision for the future.
