Established in 2010, Sparkymics Electrical Contracting is a family owned and operated business that provides professional electrical services to homes and businesses throughout Bunbury and the South West. Sparkymics Electrical Contracting was established by Michael Foster, an electrician with over 20 years experience in the industry including the domestic and mining sectors. Michael and his wife B
etty, had a vision to create a company that provided the kind of exceptional service that the domestic market had yearned for. Michael and Betty understood that the clients needs were simple. They wanted their work to be on time, on budget and to the highest standard. In its time of operation, Sparkymics has achieved this vision and has developed a reputation for providing exceptional service and high quality workmanship. Our electrical services include:
- Electrical Inspections
Sparkymics Electrical Contracting can provide you with a detailed electrical inspection report. Most savvy home buyers these days seek an electrical certificate before purchasing a new property. It is also a good idea to get an electrical inspection if your house is old and has not previously been inspected to determine the type and condition of the wiring. Electrical inspections cost $148.50 (GST inclusive).
- RCD and Smoke Alarm Installation
Laws introduced in 2009 require all home sellers (before sale) and landlords to install at least two RCD’s, protecting all power point and lighting circuits. RCDs monitor the flow of electricity from the main switchboard and prevent electrocution by cutting the electricity supply if an imbalance in the current is detected. By installing two RCDs, the property’s circuits can be divided evenly between the two. This ensures some light and power remain if one RCD operates and also minimises faulty operation from appliances which have low-level leakage current. All properties constructed from the year 2000 should already have two RCDs fitted. Since 1997 it has been law, under the Building Code of Australia (BCA), to install mains powered smoke alarms in new properties and any existing properties that have undergone significant renovations. From 1 October 2009 mains powered smoke alarms must be fitted in all existing residential buildings prior to sale and when a new tenancy agreement is signed for rental properties. If there are no tenancy changes in rental properties, then mains powered smoke alarms must be fitted by 1 October 2011. These requirements are mandatory under the Local Government (Miscellaneous provisions) Act 1960 section 248 and the Local Government Act 1995 section 9.60, and the Building Amendments Regulations 2009. While mains powered smoke alarms are the preferred alternative, smoke alarms with a non-removable ten year battery life are permitted in dwellings where the construction of the building does not permit a space to conceal the wiring and there is no other suitable alternative location or where mains power supply is not available.
- Emergency/After Hours Call Outs (Call out charges apply)
- Testing and Tagging
The Occupational Safety and Health Act 1984 (OSH Act) requires electrical equipment at workplaces to be safe and not expose workers to hazards. As prescribed by the Occupation Safety and Health Regulations 1996 (the OSH regulations), the person having control of a workplace or access to that workplace, i.e employer, self-employed person, main contractor, must ensure that all portable plug in electrical equipment and residual current devices (RCD’s) at the workplace are safe and appropriately inspected, tested and maintained by a competent person. Sparkymics Test and Tag can help ensure your workplace is compliant with OSH regulations. Contact us today to find out how we can help you.
