Response from Mister Sparky
Dear [member name removed], I know you gave us the opportunity to come back and install the part that was needed for your repair. When we spoke you said you would re-evaulate your review of our company. We hope that all work was completed to your satisfaction and we hope you will take the time to let other Angie's List members know that we follow up with all our customers. Mike is a great electrician and he just wanted to get the right part for you. Thank you again.

Took apart circuit breaker panel, 2 breakers had blown, required improperly wired outdoor boxes that connected to indoor rooms. Came at 4 PM, stayed until 8:15PM! Impressive! Coming back on Tues. Highly recommend. Also, their phone personnel, Renee, was excellent, calling me back when the service had a free man, 2 days ahead of original appointment. MD came in, covered his shoes, and was immaculate! After a sequence ofI unprofessional workmen, this was a pleasure! As electricians go, we knew this wasn't going to be cheap, but it could have been worse! We felt pricing was fair for excellent work done! MD is due to return tomorrow, July 29, to find the break in our outdoor lighting or move the outdoor electrical box to a different location. He is also going to retire our circuit breaker box to code.. I am sure it will be well done!
Description of Work: Rewired outlets improperly connected, fixed dead outlets,circuit breaker box, so that 2 rooms which lost electricity, now have it. Will be coming back to work on outdoor lighting system. Extremely professional, punctual, careful, knowledgeable. The service man's name is M.D., and he was great!

I called regarding a whole house fan and an air conditioning problem. (They wouldn't be able to address the latter, but immediately gave me the number of someone who could.) I was able to get an appointment for a few days out, and was very pleased. The technician was prompt, friendly, and helpful. Before saying it was a lost cause, he called a supplier (?) to see if by chance they could help. (They couldn't. This thing is O-L-D.) The tech also explained to me how to proceed if I was able to track down a specific part. Just a really great experience, despite it not going quite as I had hoped! I should also mention that I had to call prior to the appointment to clarify some of the info I had provided. I received a return phone call the following morning, verifying all the details. I really appreciated that!
Description of Work: Determined whether or not a whole house fan could be repaired.

The job done exceeded our expectations! We were able to keep our matching vanity lights and medicine cabinet, with the brand new appliance inserted into the original frame and reflectors. We had spent hours trying to find a matching light fixture - in stores and on-line - and finally settled on an all-metal similar fixture. That the electrician took the time to combine the new fixture into the exisiting frame was remarkable and well appreciated. This included cutting metal to make the fit exact. With the overhead utility light, we were delighted that this electrician discovered the defective switch, and made sure that everything was working, without charging extra for diagnosing or replacing the defective switch. The electrician was extremely friendly, easy to talk with, and clear with his description and cost of each job. We look forward to using his services again.
Description of Work: Electrician removed old vanity light fixture, then carefully inserted a new fixture into the old frame (thus keeping size, style and color matched with the existing medicine cabinet). The combined old/new fixture was then installed. The second job, done during the same visit, was removal of a ceiling-mounted utility light, replacing it with a new utility light. When the new light would not work, the electrician diagnosed the problem, which turned out to be a defective wall switch. He then replaced the defective switch with a new one, not charging anything extra for the time it took to diagnose the problem, for the new switch, or for the labor required to removed and replace the switch.

Uriel was the technician and he was very professional and competent. As the second floor is finished they had to snake the wires through the attic and walls. Somehow they did the whole second floor with only three or four small holes, pretty miraculous. Uriel treated my home as if it was his own. Also, Renee the receptionist is very sweet and helpful. Overall a great experience. I will use Mister Sparky again.

They could have done better, but they were not bad. The guy was personable and spent a lot of time and effort to do the job. He could have put the hanging wires through some beams. He was very neat. The prices were fair. I might use them again.

We were very happy overall with how things went. Kevin did the work for us . He was very friendly, very professional, and most importantly, he knew what he was doing. He also cleaned up after he was done and made sure things were as he had found them. He arrived on time and began surveying the job to be done. The house is a high ranch, so there are steps immediately upon entering the house. The ceiling is about 13-15 feet high, and the light fixture is right above the steps. So, the hard part is being able to work on the fixture safely. Kevin knew just what to do in order to both work safely and still accomplish the task. Our only concern was with the price. It turned out to be significantly higher than the original estimate. We were a bit put off by that. Kevin explained to us (and showed us in his book), that the price was based on the height of the ceiling. When all was said and done, we were happy with the work, but we just wish we knew about the price increase ahead of time.
Description of Work: We needed a fixture replaced in the entryway as you enter the house.

The first thing that was done was information that customers pay by the job not by the hour. This was a rude awakening. The electrician was professional and efficient. We then got an estimate on work we were thinking about doing and were told it would be $6,000. Beware of paying by the job. We paid about $400 for about 30 minutes of actual work because we paid by the job.

I bought a Big Deal and called them when I had enough things to do. Interestingly, they are a franchise and are not all run by the same people. The electrician who came out to us was punctual, helpful, polite and cleaned after himself. My experience was a really, really positive one. I would use them again, but the only issue I have with them is that regularly, they have a menu of options and pricing for each service or type of job they do. When I looked at those prices, I realized that had I not used the Big Deal coupon, I would not have been happy at all with their pricing as they seemed very expensive. I have would argue that it's better to let consumers know your rates before they arrive by posting them on your web or offer to charge by the hour and give standardized hour estimates for different types of jobs. The main problem I have with them is that the Big Deal gave me a few hours worth of work and had I called the company directly, they would have charged me significant amounts for each of the three things they did. Angie's List made it affordable, but otherwise it would have been too expensive to use them. Besides, I actually have no way of comparing as their rates aren't listed on their website.

Response from Mister Sparky
Dear Member, Thank you very much for taking the time to post your rating for our company. A whole house surge protector installed within your panel was the bulk of your invoice. This surge protector will not only protect your house from sudden surges but it also provides insurance on the equipment it is meant to protect. We offer a 2-year warranty on most items but our surge protectors come with a life-time warranty as well. So if you have any problems please call us a call. Thank you again.

The estimate I originally got was a bit high, but when I mentioned that another company offered a better price, Mister Sparky adjusted the estimate to just about the same price. The work was done that same day, and everything was completed to my satisfaction. The technician did everything he was asked to do in an efficient manner. I will use Mister Sparky again in the future.

The job was done but not worth the price. I received a call from Renee of Mr. Sparky and she was very concerned about our experience. After hearing our side she promptly refunded almost half our money. I truly thought that was very fair and good customer relations. I will definitely rethink using them in the future. As I stated originally I had no problem with the quality of the work done. I just thought the presentation of the final bill was not professional.
Description of Work: Had a ceiling fan installed in bedroom. Technician arrived promptly and gave an estimate of $179.00. After removing the old ceiling fan he said the box in the ceiling would not support the new fan. I asked if there was anything he could do and he went into the ceiling and said he could install a new box. He never said that the new bill would be almost double the original estimate. He proceeded to do the job and when completed gave us the final bill in the amount of $359.00. I was very upset and told him he should have told us how much this was going to cost and given us the option of how we wanted to proceed. Once the work was done we really had no choice but to pay him. When he saw I wasn't happy he started to say how he really should have charged us more because it was a specialty fan and he was here for more than 2 hours. I found this to be insulting and unprofessional. I would suggest that anyone contemplating using Mister Sparky get the final estimate before they begin the work. I was not naive to think that we would not be charged more for the additional work but $359 to install a regular ceiling fan (it was not a "specialty fan") I believe was way out of line.

They showed up on time. They did the work they said they would do. I can’t prove it, but according to their advertising they do drug testing which is something I think all contractors should do; as well as make sure they are proper documentations to work in this country.
