I got them on Angie's List. Mister Sparky was horrible. They guy ended up talking to my wife for $900 worth of electrical changes saying that we have some problems in our box that's going to make the house burn down. We got it all resolved because we called them and they came out the next day. It was a bad experience. I used them again out of desperation. The guy came out and really didn't do anything. It was a breaker box and he left the door open. He took fuses out and left them outside of the box. I called the manager out so the next day they came back and fixed it. I wouldn't use Mister Sparky again. They never fixed the plug. It was a bad service. They came out on time.
Description of Work: They came in and fixed a light switch. I used them again for my apartment in New Orleans because I needed to get some electrical work done. I was trying to get a plug fixed.

Response from Mister Sparky
At Mister Sparky we take safety very seriously. We commit to alerting our customers when we notice dangerous conditions, code violations, or other situations that may be problematic now or in the future. The customer had mismatched components in his main electrical breaker panel, negating its UL listing as well as potentially invalidating any insurance coverages in the event of a disaster. We’re sorry that Mr. [Member Name Removed] misunderstood the information provided during the initial service call. As part of our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee, we opted to refund our customer the full amount of the service call for his misunderstanding. We did however leave the corrections we made in place, ensuring that his panel remained UL Compliant and safe, work done at our expense. At that time, we had thought that this satisfied Mr. Champlin’s grievances, he seemed appeased at the time. A subsequent service call was made to Mr. Champlin’s rental property, where once again, unsafe conditions with his heavily corroded fuse panel were brought to his attention. The customer opted not to resolve those issues, fully aware that further problems may arise. As the customer noted, we were not able to make repairs to his outlet due to the deteriorating conditions of his fuse panel and his declination to correct those problems. At no point did he bring to our attention fuses left outside the panel. We feel that Mr. [Member Name Removed] is misrepresenting his experiences. As always we wish to see our customers happy, and would welcome a chance to visit with him and address any grievances or answer and questions.

It went extremely well. They were on time, ready to work, polite, clean, thorough and efficient.
Description of Work: Dave from Mister Sparky came out the day before Thanksgiving to give us an estimate on installing can lights in the kitchen, installing an exterior light on a back porch that didn't have one before, and making about a dozen other repairs and upgrades to outlets, lights, and fixtures in our 85 year-old home. He was willing to start work right away, but we were preparing for a family dinner and that he come back on Friday. He was there bright and early. They cut holes in our ceiling and installed can lights, and did so without creating any dust or mess. They replaced fixtures, repaired switches and outlets, and worked steadily until it was all done. They left the house as clean or cleaner than it was before. Everything works well, Dave and his assistant were personable and polite, and we couldn't be more pleased.

I couldn't be happier. The service was scheduled promptly (we're moving & trying to complete things quickly). I received a call letting me know when he'd be arriving. The technician was prompt, friendly, professional, and didn't mind my crazy dogs. He found the problem quickly and gave me a run-down of my options to fix it. It ended up being an easy fix and b/c it was done so fast, he lowered the price to reflect that.

Dave was a top notch electrician in my opinion. He initially came out to do what he could but had to return after I purchased light fixtures for the outside porch. Both visits were scheduled and on time. I will not hesitate to call Mister Sparky for any future electrical needs.
Description of Work: After 2 attempts to contact a local electrician and no response, i chose Mr. Sparky due to the outstanding ratings & reviews on Angies List. Dave was sent to our home. He was punctual, professional, and a joy to deal with. He changed a couple of our foyer fixtures to LEDs and replace our porch fixtures He also replaced our microwave hood lights with LEDs.

Dave was my electrician, and he did a wonderful job. He removed the outdated florescent light in our kitchen, and replaced it with the most beautiful pocket lights. Dave was honest about work that needed to be preformed.

Excellent. I will use Mister Sparky again.
Description of Work: A Mister Sparky electrician performed the electrical piece for the installation of a spa tub. While he was at my home, I asked him questions about other electrical issues I was having. He was extremely professional, gave me estimates for the work, and was actually able to do the work on the spot. In addition, he pointed out and fixed a dangerous, and potentially costly, problem with my circuit breaker box.

He was very kind and careful. Unfortunately the wasp that stung him was not. Ugh. He said it came out so fast and he was not even near it so maybe had babies? Got some alcohol and put on sting and he said felt better when he left. So sorry for that happening! Our trash pickup was the day he came and the trash can was sitting near his truck and on his way back he brought it and put in front of my garage door where I keep it. What a nice thing to do for someone! Beyond anyone's expectations! He will be blessed for that and I so appreciate him! All in all, well done young man, well done! Would definitely hire again but will get rid of the wasp first! Can't thank you enough for your kind an professional services!
Description of Work: I contacted Mister Sparky on 8/8, received a reply on the 11th, Dave came out to discuss the price that was fair and made an appointment for today. Willie came out today and replaced both GFI’s in bathrooms and one out door GFI and clear dome type cover was added for protection from rain and kids. Had a regular three prong plug replaced with one GFI in kitchen where the garbage disposal is and had new cover put on to accommodate it. Had 2 phone plates covered with flat plates so no kids could play with it as then are not in use or turned on. The work/plugs are covered for years and I can give them to new home owners and will be covered for them as well. Very nice!

Everything went great! Sam showed up to do the work. He was on time and seemed enthused to do the work. He was friendly and polite, and listened carefully to the list of work that I needed done. It was a very hot day for outside work, but Sam was committed to getting it all done in one visit. I really appreciated this because now my other contractors can come during the week and I don't have to worry about interference. I didn't comment on the price, because I didn't entertain other offers to compare theirs to.
Description of Work: Installed outdoor ceiling fan, ran power for the same; new outlet in floor inside; installed new outlet outside for fountain.

The person Mr. Sparkey sent to us was amazing. He had been recruited by them from up North because he said they couldn't find anyone suitable for the company here in Louisiana. He was extremely polite and professional and very thorough. The breaker box outside was basically an antique and had to be replaced. Dave, the electrician , explained everything that had to be done and why. It was an all day affair. He also dealt with Entergy, had them come out and fix their problem. He came back to double check on everything and walked through the house to check everything inside. For such a lot of work, it wasn't that much of a hassle for us.

Everything went PERFECT. Lighting directly hit my house and caused a fire in the attic. After the fire was put out, Entergy had to take the meter due to electrical system damage. This happened on a Sunday. The next day - on Monday - we called Mister Sparky around mid morning and Christian came out one hour later and inspected the breakers inside and outside of the house. Also checked wiring in the attic. After he reviewed everything he sat down with us and clearly explained what was wrong, what would need replacing, how long it would take, and costs. Costs were flat rates based on type of work and easy to understand (no per/hour labor charges, etc). Work was started immediately and completed within a few hours and we were able to get power turned back on later that evening after receiving our meter back from Entergy (required permit from parish). We found a bad GFI the next day and Christian came back out quickly to repair it - and also checked all other outlets in the house to make sure everything else was OK. I would highly recommend Mister Sparky as they came out the same day that we called, started repairs immediately, and did and excellent job! Christian was very friendly and took time to explain everything to us, show us the damage, and even take pictures in some difficult to reach places and texted them to us for insurance claim purposes.
Description of Work: House took a direct lightening strike, causing electrical system damage and fire. Mister Sparky checked entire electrical system and wires, replace melted wires, installed all new (fried) smoke detectors and added new one in the attic. Also replaced and a fried GFI outlet, and installed a whole home surge protector on the outside breaker box.

I was extremely pleased with all of the services performed today. My technicians were Jason and Dave. They showed up at the time expected and immediately went to work. They were extremely professional and polite, yet friendly. Any questions that I had were answered. I really appreciated the attention to details and the quality of work. Anytime either one of them entered my home, they put on shoe covers, would remove them as they went outside, put them back on to come in again, etc. They totally cleaned up and removed all debris and walked me around to explain everything they did. They performed top quality work. I will not only use this company for all future electrical needs, but I will request Jason again. I will let all family and friends know about this company and their standards!

Over all Dave did a good job. He was friendly, professional and quick. I may use them again...however, I found their pricing system non-transparent and suspect may be a bit overpriced...at least it felt that way. For this reason the overall grade of B due to pricing concerns. They charge a $39 service fee that is added on top of the charges for work. They claim to use a "Stringfellow Pricing Guide" to price each job they perform but I could not find any reference for it searching the internet (Google search). This leads me to believe it is propriatary. Based upon the Google hits for pricing guides, use of this approach may simply be an industry wide practice that may or may not be clear to customers. I went with the service for two primary reasons: 1) same day service, and 2) the grounding of the electrical panel was a $550 job by itself (or higher) based upon previous estimates I had obtained. That would suggest the over all job was within the anticipated $75 service call + $75/hr quoted by other outfits (it took him the better part of 3.5 hrs. Sooo...the cost of the job may simply be consistent with what I might have paid with another service provider.

Had already worked with Jason on another day to diagnose the problems I was having. Jason was very professional and patient in describing the problem I was having. I had tons of questions since this is a new house for us, and Jason had no problem explaining what was going on and how I should go about fixing it. The up front pricing that Mister Sparky uses is nice, since you know there will be no surprises at the end of the job. Would highly recommend Mister Sparky, and Jason in particular, for all your electrical needs.

They price by the job, so the price is high enough to cover any issues they may encounter. Since they encountered several issues with my house, I imagine that the cost for time and materials would have been about the same regardless. But if you know what you have is a simple job, they may not be the best vendor for your needs. Everything they worked on for me still works 1 1/2 years later!!
