All About Us

Northside Electrical is committed to being the easiest place for anyone in Durban, and now South Africa, to find the electrical, lighting, and security products they need. We achieve this through our exceptional service, a wide range of high-quality products, and competitive prices. Our team of experts is dedicated to providing you with the knowledge and assistance you need to complete your project successfully.

Our Story

In 1995, Northside Electrical started with a simple idea: provide exceptional service and quality electrical supplies to contractors North of Durban. Founder Kevin Sparg saw a need in the area, and Northside was born in a small basement operation.

Over the years, we’ve grown alongside Durban. What began as a local supplier has blossomed into a company with five convenient locations, Red Hill, Ballito, Hillcrest, Umbilo, Umhlanga, and a thriving online electrical shop.
