He never showed up.
Description of Work: I called and spoke to Charlie Hudson on 9/28 and made an appointment for Monday 10/2 between 9:30-10:30 am. He never showed up for the appointment. I called at noon and left a message asking him to call me back and it's 24 hours later and still no word from him. I'm very disappointed.

Description of Work: I looked at 3 electrical contractors to bid on installation of 5 ceiling fans, a chandelier, and a cable drop. Dependable was about $200 more than the other 2 contractors (even after a discount) and could not meet the timeline I was seeking.

Description of Work: They was great! They solved our problem in no time flat. Will be calling them back soon. I have one more project for them. I already told them what I want. I wanted electric in my shed enough to work my dryer, and I need one more amp. They gave me a great price of 300.00. They are way better then Apple electric whom wanted to charge me 1,000.

After a windy night, and our power surging off-on-off-on several times we lost power in half our bedrooms. We called Mr. Sparky, who was very busy after the storm, and they gave us a 'window' of time of arrival. They did call about 20-30 minutes before the Technician was to arrive, and he was Spot On Time! Very Professional. However, told us 'We' needed to wiggle plugs to see which one might be burned out. He returned the next day to fix/replace the offending 'bad' plug. ***Very Prompt! Very Professional! Very Friendly! Will call again in the Future!*** All Services were Explained thoroughly before I agreed to any fees....They were very up-front, about their pricing, and explained what they were doing! --Responsiveness a B, because I wish he had been able to fix the bad plug in the one visit, or at least return the same night....not wait until the next day. --Pricing a B, because they should have a coupon on Angie's List! Wave the Service Call Fee maybe for Angie's List Users???
Description of Work: Came to check why we didn't have power in half our bedrooms. Checked the Power/Fuse box, and after that checked out, told us we needed to uncover the plugs in the affected rooms and see which one, might be the 'bad' one, by wiggling the plugs in the outlets. Came back the next day to fix the offending outlet that broke the circuit to the other plugs. Very Professional & Prompt!

We had to call for service on a Sunday as we had half the power go out at the house. Though the power company came out and replaced the line into the house (it was burnt up) we continued to have problems w/the house. For $150 service fee Mister Sparky came out and assessed our issue on a Sunday afternoon. The technician quickly determined that we had major wire damage in our breaker box from the burnt power line--damage so severe that it was unsafe for power to remain on in that area. He recommended we shut off power and stay in a hotel overnight. They could have fixed it on Sunday but it would have cost an extra $1000, and he suggested we wait until Monday, quoted us a price for the entire day's service ($1870) and helped us set up one pocket of power to preserve our fridge/freezer so we wouldn't lose the contents in the meantime. The technician was very friendly and helpful, pre-arranged on Sunday with power company to have power turned off on Monday morning, did the work as completed and explained what was done. I have a friend who's an electrician in another part of the country and he said the price quoted (and paid) was entirely reasonable. And that we were fortunate the house hadn't burnt down due to the burnt up wires because it was quite bad. I appreciated the prompt and professional service and would recommend this company.
Description of Work: Service call (on a Sunday), subsequent repairs and replacement of breaker box on a Monday.

I was looking for an electrician to re-program my whole house generator. They guy came down. He was rated as an A on Angie's List, which was justified. They guy was very professional, cordial and friendly. He explained things to me very well. He couldn’t do all I wanted him to do because the manufacturer wouldn’t let him, he called them. We must have stood in my yard and talked for an hour, like we knew each other for a while. He was great. What he charged me was actually less than what I was quoted. He also left me with a packet explain the different jobs that they do. He really does a lot. He even showed me how to change the starting time for my maintenance on the generator myself.
Description of Work: Electrical work, re-programed my whole house generator.

It went very well, we were only without electric for about 3 hours as they predicted. They arranged everything with the electric company and had a date that was convenient for us. The job was completed as promised and the electrician was very professional in his work.
Description of Work: We lost electricity on a Saturday and called Mr. Sparky. They responded within 30 minutes and were able to find the probllem right away. A new circuit box was needed as well as replacing the electical line coming into the house. We were given two estimates one to just replace the box and another including the new electrical line. They got the electric back on and had to schedule with the electric company to come back and complete all repairs. They called when they had made the appointment and came to complete the job. They finished the job that day.
