First installation was successful. Second installation failed due to faulty fan from Hunter, out of the box. I asked the electrician to repair the pull light switch in a centrally located fan and light combination. After removing the bottom cover of the light switch He said that the switch was not manufactured any more and he would need to install a new fan. I said that was not necessary. I went to Blackhawk Hardware and purchased a switch identical to the switch that had failed. I installed the switch in my fan. My fan and light switch now function as they did prior to the Mr. Sparky technician telling me that a repair was impossible.

Paul arrived on time and was very professional and well informed. He replaced the selective motor that Mister Sparky had previously installed, free of charge. While here, he installed another attic fan motor that had stopped working. Paul was efficient, professional and very clear about services. Will ask for him again for other electrical needs.

Well I paid for the service through Angie's list I don't remember exactly the total cost but I believe it was $200, but of course, when he got here, he said he had to run the wire from the attic and it cost another $219. Now he did look at my electrical box which is new, and made some recommendations, but their overall prices I thought was very high. Service was good, but too high. I thought the price I paid with Angie's list was going to do the job. I know electrical work is expensive, I just found it to be overly expensive. Workmanship was fine.

This service was based on using an Angies list coupon for $249 of electrical service for $99 dollars. Scheduling the appoint was easy, even for an after hours timeframe. The scheduler and the electrician were very friendly, courteous and professional. The electrician really seemed to know and enjoy his job. Sparkys completed an initial electrical inspection and presented me the results. I was shown different pricing of options for services I might want to purchase. I chose the least expensive whole house surge protection device that took about 15 minutes to install and cost me $270 out of pockect counting the $99 coupon and $170 at the time of the appointment. The 'real' cost would have been $420 given the value of coupon. I may use them again because the personnel and service were good. But I'll check the costs which they seem to have pre-defined for multiple services.

Thank you for the comments. I researched your concern and the Big Deal does not include remote controls or switches. The technician was there for 8.25 hours for a total of $99+$99+$118= $316 which is a great deal. I am a little confused why we received an "F" grade when you were 100% satisfied when the technician finished. Rusty Wise President Mister Sparky by Wise Electric Control Inc.

This company bills itself as "America's On TIme Electrician" They are anything but. In this case we waited all day, the tech showed up at 8 pm and finished at 1 am (I stayed up with him) and then told me that he was headed to another call. I am not electrical, I have to think that having someone who is sleep deprived messing around with the electrical in my house is probably not the safest thing. The saddest part of this is that the tech was extremely competent, did great work, and was frankly thrown into a hopeless and unrealistic scheduling situation. Fast forward 5 months, I thought I would give them another chance. I called, they gave me an option of either a $49 flex scheduling appointment meaning they would call me to let me know when they were are coming that day, or I could pay $79 and confirm a three hour window from 5-8 pm (read the above summary, this didn't bode well given their past performance) I chose the $49 appointment, and as expected, they called at 5 pm saying they were overbooked, had an emergency, and needed to reschedule for Monday. So much for "America's On-Time Electrician" When I called the number to get an explanation, the customer service agent on the other end of the phone said sorry, that's how it is, and there is nothing I can do for you. No satisfaction, no escalation, just customer disservice. So, here's the deal. If you have an extremely flexible schedule, you are not time constrained and can pretty much hang out indefinitely until they show, and you are willing to roll the dice on a tech who is grossly overscheduled, I would suggest this firm. Otherwise I might suggest you look elsewhere. I'm going to.

Thank you for the feedback. In an effort to accommodate our customers we offer multiple time windows. You chose our no timeframe window on both occasions. If you need an exact time we can gladly fit you into that timeframe. We were not aware you needed it by 5PM due to soccer practice. Also, our technicians work different timed shifts 24/7 to insure we meet all our customers needs. I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

I already had the cans installed in my 20 ft ceiling, but the original electrician did not have a ladder high enough to install the actual lights in the cans. Mister Sparky agreed to come out and install the lights. Over the phone I explained to the receptionist that my ceilings were 20 ft high and would need the equipment necessary to install the lights. When they sent the electrician his ladder was not high enough and had to call in another technician to bring a taller ladder. That took an additional hour that would have been avoided had they believed me. I felt that $120/light was excessive just to climb a ladder, plug in the led lights, and change the light switch.

When I called the lady was very courteous and helpful, however I feel that it wrong to pay $49 to have an estimate written. I would not use this company just for the fact that a verbal "ballpark" estimate couldn't be given and a service call had to be paid in order to get an estimate. I asked if I could leave a message for a technician to call me later, she said that they do not do that and that the only way to get an idea of cost is to have a tech out.
Description of Work: I contacted the provider to get an estimate to install a bathroom fan. However, in order to get an estimate I would need to pay a $49 service fee. The total cost of the work would most likely be $200 I wasn't willing to pay 1/4 of the price to get an estimate that I a may or may not go with. They refused to let me talk to a service tech to give a ballpark estimate (not holding them to it) and said the only thing they could do was to charge me the $49 and send out a technician.

I had him put in two exterior outlets and had him assess a fixture that was not working. It ended up being more expensive than I anticipated. Scheduling was different, they had a lot of opportunities but you had to pay for a certain spot. $50-$80 of the initial fee went towards guaranteeing the time slot you wanted which was shocking. The technician Paul was great. He asked a lot of questions, told me what needed to be done and was very professional.

I was hoping to get my landscape lighting fixed, however they were going to charge me $354 just to diagnose the problem and couldn't give me an idea of the additional cost to fix the problem. I know how these things go and if you don't get a cost up front, you're going to get charged much more than expected. I opted not to have any work performed and am therefore requesting a refund on this Big Deal.
