"I put in a request to change a lightbulb that was 15 ft. high and my ladder wouldn’t reach. The technician came out and quoted me $225 for 5 minutes worth of work. This was after him trying to sell me on all these other services I had no interest in, just focus on the task at hand! I told him no and he said he would remove the $90 “trip charge” (what a ripoff and I told the representative when I called to make the appointment I would not pay any sort of fee for an estimate or trip charge). I still told him that was high and could he come down closer to $75 as that is the most I would pay for such little work. He then complained that he drove over an hour to get to my house and he can’t do it for that low of an amount, and then ended our interaction with “but please keep us in mind for any of your future electrical needs or if you have any issues”. Hahahahahha so you refused to do the work that I called you for and think I would ever call you guys again??? He literally turned down free money to do a quick job and rather make nothing, makes zero sense since he was already there! They have permanently lost my business since I know I cannot depend on them. I have used Mister Sparky in the past even though their prices were always higher than others but I finally had to draw the line with them. Their greed over a few bucks lost them a customer, terrible business decisions and everyone should be warned this is how they operate. Stay away!!"

Electricity makes the modern world go round. When your power shorts out, call Mr. Electric of Lakeland for quick and convenient repairs.

Our promise to you is the best work, whether your needs are common or complicated. We represent Polk County's electric solutions with pride.

"We paid to have a ceiling fixture put in. I was told we needed grounding rods for the outside box and we needed to replace the system. The quote they gave us was $3,000 higher than anybody else. I had them fix the grounding and the fixture, but later I had another electrician come by and we found out that Mr. Electric did both of them incorrectly and we had to have it re-done and fixed. These people have no clue what they are doing, they are not doing things right and overcharging people. They should not be in business. The new electrical guy told me to report them, but I am not sure yet if I will. But I will never use them again and I am telling everybody all over social media how we have been lied to by Mr. Electric. Addition: Now they are trying to tell everyone I am not a customer, this is despicable and shows the true nature of this business. It was done in December 2019."

"Carlos came to my home to give me an estimate. His estimate was for $903 because he said that the problem was an arc that he cannot find and that he would need to rewire the whole breaker box to fix it. I told him that I would get another estimate and I left him in my garage and picked my daughter up from the bus stop. when I returned, he'd changed the breaker said it fixed the problem, the cost $100. He charged $128. the problem started again. Later that evening the breaker tripped again and I called Carlos to complain about the work and that I just want a refund.He said tomorrow he would have time call the office in order for me to get a refund. I called him and they gave me a number that was immediately giving me a busy signal and then I tried calling it four times and the call never went through. I waited 30 minutes, tried again and the phone will not even connect. I feel I got swindled and I would never recommend using them ever. i left a msg through the Angi number...crickets!!!"

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

You may need a permit for a portable generator if you’ll be installing a transfer switch for your primary residence or similar work. Otherwise, a permit for other uses may not be necessary. Check your local building codes or ask a local generator installer for more information about your local regulations.

If you’re wondering if you can use your electric vehicle as a backup battery, it depends on whether your EV is compatible with bidirectional charging. This technology allows energy to flow both ways, enabling vehicle-to-home (V2H) backup power, vehicle-to-load (V2L) for appliances and camping, and vehicle-to-grid (V2G) to support the power grid. Compatible EVs convert stored DC energy into usable AC power, helping reduce energy costs and enhance grid stability while providing emergency backup power.

Natural gas and electricity rates vary significantly based on location, and pricing can change over time, too. It’s possible that in locations where natural gas is particularly inexpensive, it will cost less than grid-based electricity will. However, you should also factor in the generator’s initial costs and maintenance needs, as well as its noise level and if it can comfortably power all your home appliances.

Sizing a generator is a careful process that requires calculating the electrical load of your entire house. You have to take into account every device you want to use and their wattage requirements, plus the wattage needed to start them, and look for a generator that can safely run all that at around 80% capacity.

In more practical terms, a small home can run on a 10,000-watt generator (and if you only want to power a few key appliances, much less than that). A mid-sized home may need something between 15,000 and 22,000 watts. Larger homes require 25,000 watts or more. 

As long as they have enough fuel, whole-house generators can run for weeks at a time (400 to 500 hours) without suffering too much wear and tear. However, this type of extensive use isn’t ideal if you want to extend the life of your generator.

Two important points. First, some generators may need you to periodically check oil levels every day or so and refill as necessary for safe operation. Second, if your generator uses a fuel tank, keep it regularly full so it doesn’t suddenly shut off. Many backup generators can run through a full tank in a day when they are powering large portions of a home.
