More than a Storeman
ComSpark's Inventory Controller, Warehouse Manager and Ideas Man, Karl Wood is the recipient of this year's Frank Battista award.

Is it all in your head?
It's mental health week.. And what could be more important to your life than the contents of your cranium? Sometimes though, it's not easy to know whether everything is OK upstairs and it's high time the stigma around not being OK, went AWOL!

More than a website..
In 2014.. A good website has become a really basic necessity for ANY business, right?

All you need is... Love A Thermal Scan
Prior to burnout, it would've been very easy to think this switchboard was safe... Without electrical experience or training how would you know?

iVALS (classroom learning tools) are here!
ComSpark has launched a range of new learning tools into the education market called iVALS (Integrated Video Assisted Learning System), which has already won it's first award!

Winning is just the beginning
Basking in the glory of our recent winnings at the inaugural WA Master Electricians awards we got to thinking, what does it really mean to win?

Aren't we going backwards to move forwards?
If China, Australia's number one trading partner has made as much of an investment in energy efficiency as to reach a top 5 position in the world, doesn't that further verify its importance to us?

Brace yourself for the 'Internet of Things' (IoT)
As the name suggests, IoT is the ability for ‘things’ to use the internet to communicate with each other in a meaningful way, one that allows them to function together to complete tasks.

Cloud or Colocation: What’s right for my business?
Cloud Computing has been a buzz-word around town for a long time now, but, of the West Australian enterprises you know, who’s putting their money where their mouth is?

WiFi: the little technology that could
Wifi ‘Hotspots’ have become a drawcard especially for hospitality businesses, transforming users into customers for restaurants, cafes, lounges, hotels and the like.

Greg's Ticket
Last Tuesday was a day to remember for Greg Wink who is unlikely to ever forget it, being the day he received his formal qualification as a licensed electrician.

Phasers Forever!
The 2014 Aussie rules season's in full swing, to state the obvious.. And it's a bumper edition of the footy tipping competition this year with nearly 20 tippers in ComSpark's comp.

When the NBN comes to town
Exciting times ahead as the National Broadband Network (NBN) is wired up in Western Australia including the Perth metro area.

Electricity: what's the cost Mr Wolf?
For commercial & industrial business energy price increases generally have a 'knock-on effect', usually for trade partners or consumers which in turn cycles back to increase inflation again.

What's the difference?
Unfortunately there are many electricians out there that don't know the difference between smoke alarm varieties which are consistently being installed inappropriately and ineffectively.

Office Apprentice
Earlier in January, we posted about our new year resolutions, one of which included putting members of our office team through a series of telecommunication courses.

How many electricians does it take to..?
Understandably, there's a lot to consider in a commercial build from an electrical perspective alone!

Top 5 office fit-out mistakes
Setting up or shifting an office can be a an exciting experience for everyone, if it goes smoothly that is.

21st Century Kitchen Classrooms
The humble home economics class has come a long way since the 70's, 80's and 90's and there's no wonder with the rise of cooking on TV.

Friends that benefit
Most businesses have alliances, they scratch your back - you scratch theirs. ComSpark is no different, in fact engaging like minded businesses is part and parcel with our giving and caring values.

Worst of field 2013
We take little joy in presenting the following but feel it necessary to enlighten you about the potential troubles you could face should you decide that price is the overarching factor.

How will we keep our New Year resolutions?
Yes indeed, we too have a renewed sense of self and optimism for the year ahead, who doesn't?

Electrical Holiday Maintenance
It's the end of a big year and understandably, putting your feet up and watching the cricket is more likely to be your top priority. We know!

Frank Battista Award 2013
ComSpark started a new tradition last year when we presented the inaugural Frank Battista award.

Does it Comply?
ComSpark fully supports only using compliant products and have signed up to the program in our pledge to stamp out non-compliant products.

Power Play
If there is one place where lack of lighting and power could really cause tears, it's possibly a Timezone store. But of course, ComSpark would never let that happen!

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words
About a third of all industrial fires are caused by electrical problems, and electrical fires currently cost Australia $6,000 million per year.

Is it time to change your Fluoro's?
Fluorescent lighting is designed to last, and until they start flickering many people don't consider them.
