Can't wait to have them back as he found another loose outlet in the same wall 'since I have been here so little time' and tightened it up. They will check all outlets an smoke detectors an switches when they return and finally I will feel safe.
Description of Work: Three other electricians had given up on my problem (blown breaker an no power in 2 rooms). On Saturday a technician finished another job early an came to my house an found the problem in less than 15 minutes. It was an outlet the other 3 had not looked at despite being told it was the last thing turned on!! This young man was very professional and patient (when I hugged him an squealed with delight) an explained the fee structure which was printed out. I realized that I have been grossly over charged for over a year for other electric service an will have Mister Sparky come do a complete check of the house after Thanksgiving for less than $400!! They are all that their reviews say and more!! and used Angies List coupon!

Fantastic. Mr. Sparky will call you and recall you until work has been performed. They are really on top of their response time and will send a technician so quickly. We removed wires from large 2 x 4's, removed them and replaced the wires in wire moldings that are much smaller (wires could not be put in wall as house is an old shotgun with no 'dead space' behind walls. Page (the electrician) was incredibly neat (he swept up all dust after) and fast, and solved the problem the best way possible and in the most attractive manner. He also fixed other small things. I found the price to be extremely reasonable. Would only use them in the future.
Description of Work: Mr. Sparky was wonderful. I got telephone calls telling me when the electrician would be there; they had an electrician come within 24 hours and come again the next day. I had Page as my electrician and he was absolutely fantastic. Clean, prompt, helpful, polite. He rewired my kitchen so that it looked prettier and even took out 2 x 4's that were holding the electric wires. Would highly recommend this company as I have worked with other electricians and found their prices rather high and the service not so prompt.

We thank you for a lovely review! We wanted to let you know that we actually don't service A/C units. We're sure the company that gave you such outstanding service would appreciate your comments on their Angie's List reviews so we wanted to be sure to let you know we aren't the same company.

I wholeheartedly recommend Mister Sparky. They were exactly on time for my initial appointment and again when they came to do the work. The electricians were courteous and professional. Their price was reasonable, and the service was performed without incident.
Description of Work: I hired Mister Sparky to replace old, outdated knob and tube wiring in the attic of my older home . They extended the line to my breaker box, and they also installed/reinstalled ceiling fans throughout the house that were connected to that wiring.

I am very impressed with them and I would recommend the Mister Electric-New Orleans to anyone. My first contact was with the office manager, Donna and she was very professional. I wanted to make sure I could get a Saturday appointment and that they would take credit cards. She assured me this was not a problem, and additionally she called the day before the appointment to confirm it. The technician that came out was Page and he took care of the situation. The light fixture that needed work is in a very awkward place and he worked it and finally got it to work. He took the time to clean up and was very professional and pleasant. The is the first electrician I have had to call in Covington and I was very pleased and I will use them again.
Description of Work: I had an "accent" light that shorted out and it was tripping the breaker for that room, and I asked them to install a outdoor sensor light too.

This review might seem too good to be true but they arrived on time, were straight foward, clean, and professional and finished a day early and exactly on budget to boot.

Mister Sparky is a franchise so you know they will have nice trucks and uniforms and everything will have a Mr. Sparky logo. You also can probably guess that their fees are a bit higher than your average electric guy. In fact, their billing invoices have ten distinct categories of service with listings of typical items covered in that category, ranging from Level 1, $55 ("Up to 2-std lamps/one fixture (below 16 ft), 110v SP switch/outlet, CS-fan light kit, CS dimmer", etc.) to Level 10, $1,089 ("50A hot tub circuit w/o GFCI, 40-80A 240 circuit, 2-circuit restoration", etc). So there's no room for bargaining and bickering about "What's this gonna to cost me?" Having said all that, my service call was prompt, professional, and hassle-free. Mr. Sparky might cost a little bit more than your average electrician or handyman, but I would call them again without hesitation.
Description of Work: Replaced the outside fuse box for the AC compressor. The AC went out on a Sunday afternoon in August! Called them at 7:30 AM on Monday morning begging for help and the truck was here by 9:00AM.

The technician, Brian, could not have been nicer or more thorough. He worked hard to get the utility out as quickly as possible and stayed through right to the end to make sure everything happened as quickly as possible. Since my refrigerator, freezer and stove were all offline in 95 degree heat, speed was important. Thanks too to Donna in the office for working hard to get an electrician here as quickly as possible. The price was more than fair, the speed was great, and the people were wonderful. Wish every supplier in town could be as good!
Description of Work: Mr. Sparky replaced a main breaker at my old Victorian in Uptown New Orleans. They had to coordinate with Entergy to unlock the meters so the panel could be disassembled. Once the panel was open, the main had to be removed, the contacts cleaned and the new breaker installed.

They worked quickly and got the job done right. They even came back to help install the appliances, because they required direct connections to the 220V outlets (not plugs) without any further cost.
Description of Work: They installed 2 x 220V outlets in the kitchen, updated my outlets in the bathrooms and kitchen to GFI, added a new 115V in the closet and installed new light fixtures in the bathrooms.

Description of Work: When I called to set the appt., I knew I needed some work done on an outlet but wanted an estimate of flood lights surrounding my house and dock also. Was told the technican would be there at 9. Bryan actually came at 8:30 as his instructions indicated that. Showed him the outlet in question and he knew right away what needed to be done and fixed it right away. Showed him all the outdoor flood lights that needed to be checked and he found power to be there, I was just in need of getting new fixtures. He also looked at the lights surrounding my dock and was able to temporarily get them working as well and told me what parts I needed to get one of them working again. Bryan was very thorough, professional, knowledgable and friendly. He gave me an esti

I contacted Mr. Sparky Friday, July 13, 2012 and received a return call I believe within an hour. After explaining my problems I was told someone would be out the same day about 2 o'clock. The technician, Bryan arrived on time and immediately went about assessing the problem. After some investigating the problem was discovered and corrected. He found a tripped breaker and an outlet that was hidden behind the sheetrock. The technician was very professional and obviously skilled at his trade. I was very pleased with the timely and quality work done. I was overly pleased with the cost. I will definitely use Mr. Sparky again and I highly recommend this company.

We had 2 appointments with Mister Sparky. For the first we had several outlets changed in the master bedroom as there was a short in one that made the others not work. This process was quick and our service tech promptly cleaned up the small mess made from cutting dry wall to install a 4-plug outlet instead of a 2 plug. The technician had a price sheet with everything listed out. This made me feel like he wasn't just coming up with a random figure to charge us. The total charge was $220. After the first appointment, I scheduled for the same technician to convert our house from fuses to breakers. This had to be scheduled a few days in advance, which was fine. On the day of the appointment, I met the tech at our house to let him in, and left him to change the box which is located outside. When I returned home, he was done. Even though he had to cut through brick and have someone else come to help with part of it (our house is older and has had several owners that didn't always do things to code) we were still charged the quoted amount and not a penny more. The total cost for this was $1850, and is based on how large of a panel they install.

There has been a noise coming from my meter and/ or electrical panel which sounds like humming/ zapping for a long time. After troubleshooting with Entergy, I was advised to contact an electrician. I contacted Mister Sparky and one of their electricians came out to take a look at the issue (of course, the noise which is fairly constant did not occur the entire time that he is at my house). The electrician did his best to make an assessment of the issue and provided me with an estimate. On the scheduled date of service, he was at my home and heard the noise and realized the problem was not electrical at all. The company and the electrician contacted me. They were completely honest and did not charge me for any service and said that they hoped I would use them again if I needed to in the future. I find that kind of honesty and integrity completely refreshing and would recommend this company to anyone I know. I would feel completely confident that I would be getting a fair estimate and quality service from Mister Sparky and will definitely contact them again should the need arise.
Description of Work: I called Mister Sparky for an estimate for an unknown problem which appeared to be electrical ( as I was told by Entergy) and they provided me with an estimate for replacing my electrical panel.

They did a great job! They came by quickly in the morning, before I had to go to work and were professional. They have a nice pricing chart (it’s called the straightforward pricing plan) that shows the fees and charges, so you don’t feel like they’re making up the price as they go along.

It has been a great experience overall; they’ve been out to my home twice actually. They have a price sheet that has 10 basic categorizes of electrical repair work, so when they finish walking through your home with you to find out what you need, it’s a pretty straight forward price and easy to understand! They can give you a quote for it and it’s not a made up price. They also honored a coupon since we’re Angie’s List members. Donna is the person I speak with over the phone, and she’s been pleasant to deal with. Christen, the electrician that they sent out, was punctual, very knowledgeable and did a great job. We’ll be using their services again.
Description of Work: They did various types of electrical repair work, including changing out some light fixtures and fans, and changing out some outlets (two prong to four). He fixed our doorbell that hasn't worked in 10 years! He also assessed to find out if some things that we wanted to do were do-able. He really had electrician-domain knowledge.
