Mister Sparky Electric

Description of Work: I believe he did a reasonable job of inspecting the electrical system but he was on his phone talking to friends through much of the time. He then told me that the entire electrical system needed to be upgraded. I am not sure whether this is true or not but I was floored when he told me that it would cost several thousand dollars. My home is about 25 years old and I am surprised that it might need "major surgery" at this point.

Description of Work: They showed up promptly and performed the work we needed done. They also sell a warranty service, so be prepared for the pitch. We're happy with the work done.

Description of Work: They replaced a faulty switch in our basement. Dustan was very prompt, professional and efficient. I would definitely recommend them to others.

Description of Work: I had purchased a whole house electrical inspection which went fine. They arrived early by about 30 minutes and spent adequate time reviewing their findings and recommendations. The inspector was supposed to send me the report via emai which I have not yet recieved. May be a problem with the email system since I know he tried to send it. My biggest concern is that the cost of additional services seems very high although I have not yet comparison shopped.

Description of Work: Replaced some outlets, fixed an outlet.

Description of Work: Installed new ground wire, rewired phone jack, and installed whole house surge protection system.

Description of Work: Every thing asked. However, I felt the price was way out of line. They later adjusted it by several hundred dollars. Must say the work was very good.

Description of Work: Service call was 1) to check reason for no electricity to back deck.....result was tripped GFIs. 2) replace motion detector light with a newer model I purchased elsewhere 3) move old motion detector to a new location which needed install and wired. Approx time technician was here was 2 1/2 - 3 hours. Original charge was $577.00 plus I agreed (over the phone) to a power club fee of $99.00. That was before I knew what the bill would be. The power club member gets 15% off the bill so the total including the power club fee was $590.00 After I called the manager and objected to the charge of $247.00 (the 15% discounted fee) to discover a tripped ground fault breaker, I was given a credit of $124.00 I was absolutely shocked by this company's charges. I was expecting to pay no more than $245.00 for the entire service. I caution anyone who is going to have this company do work for them to get a total estimate first, then figure being charged the higher end of the estimate. (I learned my lesson here). This company is not for someone on limited income. Because I paid the $99.00 power club fee this includes a future inspection which I will have done. If there is a problem it is extremely unlikely I will use this company for repairs. And beware..the "$29.00 professional service call fee" was actually a "transportation fee" from the company to my house. We were told it was a gas fee to drive the truck here!

Description of Work: I had two odd electrical issues. The puck lights under my kitchen counter turned on occasionally, but I couldn't count on them and they would go off sometimes when I did manage to get them turned on. The fan/light comination in our shower tripped the overload on humid days and both would shut off. The fan light was replaced, but I won't know if the problem is solved until summer and another very humid day. The puck lights are fixed. I had purchased two ceiling fixtures--one for the top of the stairs and the other for the foyer. The price for installation of each was much more than the value of the lights and I opted not to have them installed. While the workmanship was good and the electrician was very nice and neat, it cost much more than I think I would have paid for an independent electrician.

Description of Work: I called to schedule my service and I was cordially informed by the dispatcher Mister Sparky does not service my area and management would get back with me as soon as possible. Unfortunately the management's response was via e-mail.

Description of Work: He gave us an estimate to put an outlet in our garage.
