They also addressed questions I had about a new breaker box they installed. They adjusted this as well. The nice thing is that they guarantee their work. This was the second time they came out so it was free.

We ended up getting a new breaker panel, new grounding system, a lot of rewires in kitchen, bathroom, master bedroom, removing a bunch of unnecessary wiring and associated lights including unsightly retro florescent box lights in the kitchen, ugly flush mount in the hallway, ugly wall sconces in master bedroom, hideous chandeliers in library and kitchen dinette, 19 6" recessed lights with 3000K 13W dimmable LED's, a dedicated Home Theater circuit, 12 gauge CL2 5 channel in wall speaker wiring,  and probably a few things I can't remember right now.
Essentially, Mike, Tommy, and Marcus brought our recently purchased built in 1990 retro home up to date.

The neon ceiling light in my son's kitchen had sparked and/or started smoking when he turned it on. After he left work I called Mister Sparky to have a trained electrician safely analyze and fix the problem. Their representative came well within his estimated time. He was polite, knowledgeable, and professional. Perhaps I could have found a less expensive electrician, but it was more important to have the job done correctly and to remove a fire hazard, especially with my grandson living there. He did  a great job, and I would gladly use Mister Sparky Electrical again.

I have used Tony for the past several years, the house is about 12 years old now and it is time to replace and improve electrical components in the both the house and garage. Tony is always on time, calls ahead at least 30 minutes before arriving and reviews the work with me before starting. We always discuss the costs before any work is performed and informs me if there is any critical issues that I need to be aware of. Tony is always been very fair with me and provides excellent workmanship.
The install of the new florescent light fixture in my garage went great, even with the extreme heat in the garage, the job was completed in about 40 minutes. Tony had to run new wiring and he brought along the new fixtures so he had all of the hardware when he arrived.
 
I keep my garage extremely clean and moved out the vehicles so there was nothing in his way. This made it safe and the install went very smoothly.

They are very expensive, but they do what they say they are going to do and they show up when they say will show up. I had a $49 coupon from Angie’s List, they charged me $184 to come out and check all of the electrical, and I told them that I had already had that done. I called them because my outside garage light would not turn on; he said it was broken. He said that if I got the light, he would come back during the week, just call me when you get the light and I will put it in. I got the light Saturday and I called him Monday to come out Tuesday. He came back on Tuesday and charged me another $129. He said it was a $400 job. I asked him what the $184 was for; because I did not have, you do anything. He said that he had to look at all of the electrical boxes and everything to make sure that he was safe. He said that he did not have to put the light in, if I did not want it. I told him that I would pay him but he was very expensive. A supervisor called me and I told him that the work was good, but they were very expensive. It cost me $300 to have that light put up. I needed it done, he was there, I had the light, and I just got it done. I find it very disturbing that people in this line of work make me feel uncomfortable in dealing with them. I am in sales myself and I am sure that not every customer likes what I do or say, but I am pretty fair. He was a descent fellow; it is just how they do it. I called them to come out and fix the light, I had a coupon for the service call and I knew that I would have to pay for whatever the repair was. Overall, I felt like I was cheated. The quality was good. I would not use them again.

Scheduled service for Monday.  Received call on Monday that service would have to be rescheduled - service charge to be waived!  Rescheduled for Wednesday.  Rick arrived within agreed time.  He was a very professional and likeable young man.  He briefly explained pricing and then told me he would have to do a survey of house for safety reasons before he began job.  After survey he presented me with 3 recommendations:  Option A - $1162,  Option B - $883 and Option C (my original work request) $386.
Since I am selling I only wanted Option C-  bonding of water lines to hot water heater. 
Rick took approximately 30-35 minutes to complete the job.  Afterwards we discussed bill as I had a $50 coupon and I reminded him there was no service charge - my bill came to $277.   I was happy to get job done but the bill did seem high for attaching ground wire with a clamp on hot water line,  one on cold water supply line, and one on the gas line.  Remember without coupon and waiver of service call it would have been $386!
Would I use Mister Sparky again - maybe but  I would do my homework comparing pricing of other companies first..

The technition from Mr. Sparky,  came to the house as arranged, put his booties on before entering and did a full inspection of what we wanted done.  He was professional and very curtious.  However the price he gave us was made up from a catalog he carried and was astronomically over inflated.  We just were astounded.  My husband asked him if this was for re-wiring the whole house? 
We did not hire him and stated we would get other bids for the work.  He kept stating that Mr Sparky only used "licensed" electritions.  So we went back to Angies list and found another "licensed" electrition with an "A" Angies List rating.   He came to the house and gave us an estitimate on the exact same work as Mr. Sparky.  This time the work was well under budget and under $800.00 for all of it.  He was so reasonable that we had him do a little more than was planned and it was still way under our budget for our electrical needs. 
We got several calls from the Mr Sparky's staff asking why we did not use them and we kept telling them their pricing was way out of line.  Their price was over $3700.00.  The other electrician was under $1000.00 for the same job.  Both were rated "A" by Angies List and both were licensed eletrictions. Who would you choose?

The gentleman was very prompt, arriving earlier than expected. He came with shoe covers in hand but since the work was in the garage they weren't needed. He fiest assessed what the problem was and then made his recommendation and estimated cost. He advised me on safety issues and the adding another outlet.  He was helpful in checking out the main box and showed me some issues to be aware of in the future. He did the job we had discussed and cleaned up afterwards. I was very delighted to have such professionals doing the jib! I will definitely have them do work for me next time.

There had been power surges and outages at my home.  I called them on the 16th evening - they agreed to come out on the 17th morning.  They called ahead of time, Clint came on time, inspected the whole house and also talked to Centerpoint about what to look for and where.

It went very well.  The technician is very professional and I felt comfortable having him around my family.

It was more expensive than I expected though.

Tony is our local guy.  He is very professional, punctual and extremely knowledgeable.  Tony's approach is great for someone who does not know MUCH about electrical.  He starts with an overall home inspection then focuses in on the main issue (and provides a number of a la carte estimates for each of the jobs).

It went very well.  Rich was personable, informative, and professional.  He is a great guy and doesn't try to upsell other than what's suggested by his company.  I was taken aback by the price, as I didn't ask for an estimate prior to the appointment.  I've never had electrical work done before, so I had no idea how high rates were.  I thought plumbing was really high, but it's nothing compared to electrical.  So, be prepared.  I say this not knowing how Mr. Sparky's rates compare to others.   Once you do your homework, go ahead and use this company, because they are nice to work with.  They charge by the job, not the hour.

Replaced 3 light switches. I provided the new switches. Half hour of work and I was charged $611. Called office to see if this was correct and was told that it was and they were very sorry that I didn't think $611 was fair. They won't have to worry about me calling them back for anything.

By far the best of any contractor we've used so far. Fully explained what was wrong, why it went wrong, performed all he could while having to wait 4 hours just for the electric company to turn off power! Helped explain future plans, and what was safe and legal and what wasn't. We just bought the house and it is an older home. The work performed and the explanations made our new home safe for my family, and gave us peace of mind to raise our new son in this home! I would highly recommend them for any electrical work done!

Mike was very professional and explained everything in detail. He was very courteous and respectful of my home and of me. He gave me a bid on work that I was not anticipating that needed to be done. We have opted to get another bid and have not made the decision of who to use but I feel confidant that Mike would do a great job. I trust he would perform the necessary repairs and guarantee his work. The price just seems a bit high.

The electrician Mike showed up on time and was very professional and friendly.  He inspected the work that was to be done and then provided me in writing with exactly what the cost would be of performing the repairs.  The work was done throroughly and he provided me with both a hard copy and electronic copy of the invoice/receipt.
