If you need a good, honest, and professional electrician, then Mr. Sparky is the one to call. I had a long list of items to be taken care of and with their suggestions I was able to save money. Good work and saving money is a good thing.
Description of Work: Performed the necessary diagnostic and repairs to bring the wiring up to code. Replaced the necessary receptacles with GFI (inside and out), re-routed and removed outdated and unused wiring and outlets, corrected wiring in fuse box (some were double-tapped). Installed and changed batteries in the smoke and monoxide devices.

It went well. I initially only wanted to install the ceiling fan and a closet light but inquired about an outlet over the dishwasher area on my sink that I was told when I replaced my kitchen cabinets should be turned over to a GFCI outlet. They agreed and stated that code today requires all outlets around the sink be converted to GFCIs. Both technicians were very professional and I felt they were sincere in the recommendation.
Description of Work: Install ceiling fan, closet light and install three GFCIs outlets

Charles was awesome. He helped figure out a way to install my fan in a room that had no ceiling fixtures there. He did excellent work, and spent all the time needed explaining it to me and how it would work. I am very happy with everything.

Response from Mister Sparky-Aurora
Hello [Member Name Removed] I can understand your frustrations with the situation. This was a hard situation for myself as well. After spending a lot of time trouble shooting the issue in the upstairs I found many code violations and even more dangerous conditions left by someone else. I know we spent a lot of time going over these problems and safety concerns so hopefully I was able to explain those to you well. I know I was not able to fix the problem in the amount of time you purchased. Unfortunately with the poor wiring conditions and the safety concerns I had I really felt the best way was to rewire the entire house or just the upstairs. If you have some time in the near future I would really like to revisit this with you just to very I explained everything correctly. The 17,000 quote was to rewire the entire house with all permits and code upgrades. To do just the upstairs was considerably less than that(I think it was around $5000 with all permits and required upgrades needed per city codes). Please feel free to call me at 630-363-0634. Thanks Charles

The tech was great. The work of replacing 7 old detectors and installing 7 new units that I purchased, took approximately 1 hour. The total cost was $427. I purchased the Angie's List Deal, ($99) but still paid $178 out of pocket. The work was fine, but felt the price of $61 per unit was a bit pricey.

The tech that did the work was great. I felt the costs of $61 each for the replacement of 7 smoke detectors for a total of $427 was very pricey for less than a hours work.

When my wife and I remodeled our house, an electrician sub-contractor used by our remodeler took shortcuts installing a whirlpool which created a significant safety hazard. I called Mr. Sparky and had they were quick to respond. The fix was not an easy one. Charles, the owner, gave us a very fair price and worked hard to run a new electrical line capable of handling a heavy electrical draw. Charles also installed new circuit breakers and connected everything. He did an amazing job! Super happy with Charles and his company, Mr. Sparky. I have now used Mr. Sparky twice, and plan on using this company for other jobs.
Description of Work: Complete repair of electrical work done by a competitor on a whirlpool tub installed during a remodeling project.

Called them 3 or 4 weeks ago to repair a ceiling fan that is mounted 16 feet up. They said they would call when they had a technician available. Still waiting for their call. Hate to give bad marks as we don't know the quality of the company - only that they might have been scared off by 16 foot ceilings.
Description of Work: They never called to schedule service.

I am looking into what happened now, but if I could get some more information from you it would be help full. In the mean time we would be more than happy to assist you with your fan. Please feel free to call me at (630)363-0634. Thank you for your time. Charles Hinton

My experience with them was good. They had good suggestions. I just thought that their prices were too high. They came when we had the $250 coupon which was nice because it allowed me to have peace of mind. But some of the fixes were kind of minor and the prices were a little high. So I ended up doing a lot of it myself. They gave recommendations on other things that they suggested that we do. They recommended that I add some PCI and GFCI outlets in the kitchen and change some of the loose plugs upstairs. The cost was like $70-80 an outlet. So I thought that it was cheaper to do it myself. I probably might not use them because their price was too high.
Description of Work: I used Mister Sparky-Aurora for electrical work. They came and checked all the sockets, fuse box and outlets. They fixed one of the outlet.

They were fine. They came out to troubleshoot a problem with the building. It's an older building and we knew we had a short somewhere and he came out and did an assessment. We couldn't figure out what the problem was but he got me lighting back on to the entire building. The stuff that was wired underground we had to wait until that warmed up. They had to find the actual break and they had to pull up the old stuff and trim and do a bunch of laying or wire and other cables, as well as piping.

Charles did an excellent job. He recommended size, type and placement of all lights since we had no idea. What we liked best is his flexibility. We hadn't planned on redoing the ceiling lights but we came we told him we'd like to do them. He said 'no problem' and even recommended the type and placement of the lights. He ran to Lowe's to purchase everything since we didn't even know what he needed. We had purchased the wrong size under cabinet lights so he picked up the correct lights and billed us for it. This was so convenient for us! He installed under the cabinet lights, lights inside the cabinets in addition to the can lights.
Description of Work: During our kitchen remodel, Charles installed all the electrical. He came one day to do all the electrical work behind the wall before the cabinets were installed. He came again after the cabinets were installed to install lighting inside the cabinets, under the cabinets and also put in can lights in the ceiling.
