It was alright. I think, it was about $400 altogether. Price is too expensive. I’ve got to do more research, I’m not sure if I will use again. I guess they do a good job, maybe you can do it yourself. It really took them no time at all, like 15 minutes. Workers were fine. Cleaned up fine.

They did the work well, cleaned up and there was a follow up phone call to check for any problems. The worker was professional. We haven't compared prices for an exhaust fan with a heater element, but the price seemed a bit high.

He charged for a simple thing, $300. It's very expensive. He forgot to give me the discount from what I purchased Angie's List. I did call up and complain that it was too much. All of a sudden they found that they forgot to apply the discount. It was still and astronomical price. It was just a wire, I couldn't reach it because of my shoulder that's why I called them. I'll never use them again. As a matter of fact, the guy apologized so he knew. He did the job but not for the price. He was neat.
Description of Work: I took all the existing wiring. All that was left in there is he had to make the connection.

The installation went great and Tony the electrician was professional, respectful and quick. I requested an estimate to replace two existing high hats for future repair. The markup on the high hats I found to be ridiculous at a $250 for the part which is like a 500% mark up for replacing the housing. I used them because my regular electrician was busy and even with the coupon, $49 for $100 worth of work plus I supplied one GFI, still cost me almost over $200. I know electricians are expensive, but for a big company, they are high.

We offer 2 year warranty on all work. We are sorry you felt that our pricing was high. We put a tremendous amount of training into our techs and we offer 24-7 emergency service. All our guys are background and drug tested. The cost to know that you have a good person working in your home is why our cost is higher than others. we are also licensed and insured....another reason that drives the cost up. Thank you for your time.

So sorry you felt the need to give us such a poor rating. Our tech was there for just under an hour. Once his assessment was complete he explained he needed to do a much more involved diagnostic. He quoted $319 for this as well as $86 to upgrade outdated outlets/receptacle. We only offer the $100 coupon for $49.00.

Kevin stopped by to survey the job. Jim followed up to complete the job at the scheduled time. Both did an excellent job. Jim had to cut the wall open to accommodate the larger panel. When he was finished, you couldn't tell the wall was cut open at all. I saw the wiring that was done inside the panel, and it was the neatest job I had ever seen. Jim and Kevin did an incredible job and both were incredibly nice guys.

In researching your complaint I realized this job was done October 2014. When we arrived you said you had power issues. We checked your entire service and felt it would be in your best interest to install a surge protector. Our tech was there almost 2 hours. You then called us in August 2015 saying you were upset because you thought you had a surge. We sent our tech out to you the same day because we new you were upset. Upon arriving our tech checked the panel and surge, both were working properly. The surge wound up being 3 bulbs that were out around the house, not an actual surge. We told our tech to not charge you because we knew you were upset. We explained that this had nothing to do with our original job and you thanked us. We really don't understand why you gave us an F?! We pride ourselves on taking care of our customers. We hope you will reconsider. Thank you.

All went fine as usual from scheduling to the work performed. Elvin came out completed all work from diagnosis to repair in one hour. Cleaned up and removed all debris. He was very gracious and respectful, I would request him again to work in my home. I have used their services several time and found all their electricians to be on the same professional par. Thanks
Description of Work: Change bathroom exhaust fan, check a few issues I had questions about, suggest a plan, for 59.00 dollars which I purchased for future work and discount coverage. I used the 49.00 dollar offer I purchased for 100.00 dollars worth of work I applied to fan change out.

It's really too bad that there are companies like this that try to cheat and rip off homeowners. Why can't you just be honest, make a little profit and move on to the next job. I am getting a new dishwasher and the electrical line needed to be replaced and he also said Circuit breaker should be changed to 20 amp instead of 15. Very cut and dry job.....we both know exactly whats needs to be done. How much do you think something like this should cost? The tech started out with $800! All I could do was laugh ..... nothing needed to be moved, hole was already in the floor ...... what a joke. Then he walked away, spoke with someone on the phone about price and then arrived at this $319 number + service fee $69 + tax. Still not good enough in my mind, so I now had to get on the phone with the company and we settled on $319 total all in. The job was less than 1/2 hour from start to finish. Materials had to be less than $50, and there is no way they are paying their techs that much ...... nice profit. Why do we have to go through all this? It took more time to negotiate the price than it took to do the work! I still paid too much in my mind but, I was having a new dishwasher installed the next day. It's upsetting that the tech started at $800, it really makes me worry about other homeowners being ripped off. The sad thing is that he is probably being instructed to do this by his managers/company. Hopefully this helps you to steer clear of Mister Sparky wherever you might live. I will NEVER, EVER call this company again. Update: I just received a call from the company because of this review. I would first like to thank Angie's List for doing a good job of creating a tool that holds these companies accountable for the way that they decide to do business. After speaking to them this morning I stand by my original comments but, have moved my grade up slightly. The only reason I have moved the grade up is because I feel bad for the tech that came to my house. He actually did a very good job with the work and was a very nice young man. The tech was great, I actually liked the guy alot - pricing the job was horrible. The pricing structure is great for the tech and the company but NOT AT ALL for the homeowners. At the end of the day you will make more money and feel better about it if you are honest. The company admitted the mistake but they are still pricing jobs way too high. Thank you for the call, shows you actually care about these reviews.

Response from Mister Sparky
We are very shocked by the review you gave our company. Elvin is a brand new tech and misunderstood the pricing. When he called the office we corrected his mistake and cut the price by more than half. We also waived the 59.00 service fee for your inconvenience. We ran a circuit for your dishwasher and upgraded your breaker because that is what the electrical code states. We have tremendous insurance that will cover your entire home plus contents if one of our guys makes a mistake. All of our techs go through an extensive training program before even being allowed to enter your home. When you questioned the price , he called the office immediately and it was corrected. We hope you will reconsider such a harsh review but we thank you for giving us the opportunity to train Elvin more on the pricing guide.

The installation of the Nest Wifi thermostat went very well. The electrician, Nick was very knowledgeable, and answered all my questions. He was able to complete the job very quickly and no issues to date. Also, before the electrician entered the house, he put on those blue shoe covers, which I greatly appreciate. Very professional!!!! I will definitely use them again.

The electrician Nick was great but if I didn't have the Angies List deal for $49 fot $100 of electrical services it would have cost me $250 for 2 dimmers! unbelievable ...I will Never use them again. They never told me the cost of installation before the job. i didn't ask because the deal said jobs like dimmers and ceiling fan installations. Lesson learned!!!

We are sorry you feel this way. We gave you a quote first, you approved it and we completed the work December 2014. We had no idea you felt this way. We wish you would have let us know sooner. We did much more than an outlet for you. We relocated the circuit for your electric heater by running the wire up through your attic and back down to the new heater location. We relocated a GFI and switch in your bathroom and cut in 2 new boxes for sconces. Please call the office and we will reimburse you your coupon. Thank you.
