Mister Sparky

Responsive but very high quote. Did not hire

We were very happy with them. They came out in a timely fashion and they did a very good job.

That was a really good experience. In fact we found him on Angie's List. He must have spent about 3 hours in the house, troubleshooting the problems with electrical. He was meticulous. He was very thorough. He fixed it and it cost about $250 but it was worth it. The cost of that was not big but he was there for 3 hours and it was worth it. He determined where the problem was and resolved the problem. He found a plug that was overloaded. He showed up on time. I wouldn't give an A to many people, they don't show up on time, but he did.

The work done was fine. The initial quote was padded with about $450 of work I did not need, which I declined. This eroded my confidence that the work I agreed to was priced fairly. Felt it was overpriced.

It was fixed. I paid $150 for them to even knock on my door, and then $350 to do the work and $110 for a new breaker. It was expensive!

They did a great job. It took 5 or 6 hours. They were professional and did a great job. they were respectful of our property.

good service. He was very nice and clean but very expensive

The electrician was punctual and professional, although there was some confusion as to the pricing. Why am I choosing NOT to use them for additional work? Over the top pricing. Other chandeliers (requiring an electrical box in the ceiling) were priced at just under $800 per chandelier. This was substantially higher than anyone else's quote.

The job was good, I can’t complain, it’s just the price. It was good quality. It was timely. They were on time. They were good. I would shop around. For just one line, I don’t think it was worth it but it is what it is.

This was a moderately complex repair of damaged electrical wiring. They showed up on time and delivered a very professional work product for a very reasonable fee.

I found him off Craigslist, I didn't find him on Angie's List. He did his thing, he was on time, but I thought he was outrageously expensive for what he did. I didn't know it was Mister Sparky. I went on to Craigslist and they had this one ad that didn't identify who they were. They just said that they were super cheap and the lowest cost etc etc etc. I called them up and I set up an appointment and then Mister Sparky rolls in to the driveway. I had no experience with Mister Sparky. He is the on time electrician. He showed up, he wasn't in the house for more than 50 minutes. All he did really was, he took a wall socket and turned it upside down. I had the polarity upside down, I didn't know it, it was a dimmer switch, a really simple job that he knew and I didn't know it. It was knocking off some wall sockets and then he installed a ceiling light fixture for me that I couldn't do because I just needed three hands and I didn't have them. So, he had the experience. That was all he did. He really just did practically nothing and he charged me $180. It was like $200 an hour. I live in Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant is on the Carolina coast here, north of Charleston. It has a lot of people like myself who aren't native to the area. Mount Pleasant in here is perhaps the state's most affluent suburb. It's a very popular place because of its proximity to the downtown of Charleston, with all those attraction for dining etc. The rest of the population kind of lives elsewhere. My experience and I've been here eight years, there is like a Mount Pleasant price and there is a price for rest of the people, wherever they live. That's the problem that you have. You mention that you live in Mount Pleasant and all of a sudden the price is, "How much?" You just have to kind of grin and bear it and shop around. That's just the way it goes around here. They think everybody is rich who lives in here. I pulled them off Craigslist. They didn't identify themselves. They rolled in the driveway and I got a $200 bill, I was a little bit shocked. It was $200 an hour. I was expecting a little over $100 or something, not even that much for what he did. They were on time.

They worked for one week, sort of. Now one does dot at all. When I called to ask for help I get and answering service only. There is no contact with the management directly...like they are hiding... Will they fix it, I do not know but there are more reliable companies who will answer the phone and not bounce you around. I would not recommend them regardless of your needs.

Very well. The Mister Sparky electrician who did our estimate also did the repair work on our home at our request. He did an excellent estimate of the work we needed done, did the work very professionally and personably, and finished the job within the estimate. This involved pulling new cable through an underground conduit and routing part of the same cable through a Charleston crawl space - it was no simple job. If I was rating this electrician I would rate him "A" across the board, but the company gets a "C" for Responsiveness because of its extremely poor office support, i.e., its answering service. Similarly, the electrician would have been rated "A" for Professionalism but the company gets a "B" rating for Professionalism for its office support. I told the company's manager and the electrician who made the repairs that its answering service is in need of substantial improvement at the time of the job.

Joined Angie's List (since it is free now) and Mister Sparky Electric name popped up and we liked the reviews and decided to try them out....We were extremely satisfied with their punctuality, kindness and explanation of services (they even excepted the coupon we printed from Angie's List after I forgot to tell them) A+ Service.......Thank You "James" for your professional service and attitude!!!!

Excellent, arrived on time, and completed the job quickly! Used the $59.00 angies list deal.

He claimed he would be a low charge guy and that he would state all the fees before hand and he did not do that. We had 3 projects we wanted done and 2 of them were able to be accomplished. He could not do the 3rd on, but that was out of control, ,it could just not be done. The problem I had with him is that he is a little bit on the pricey side. He was in the house less then an hour and charged me $190. He only worked for like 20 minutes for the 50 minutes that he was in the house. Other then that I was satisfied with the quality of the workmanship. He advertised himself as the low price man in town but he could not have been. All the contractors here overcharge. He was right on time as he claimed.

He was neat and courteous. Could not have been more pleased! He arrived on time and wore booties to access the premises.

Gentleman that came was fast and friendly. Did all the work requested and was %100 happy.

Very responsive. Prompt service. A little pricey but would more than likely use again.

Eric Burgess called me and said he could come earlier than our set time that afternoon. He arrived, was very professional, wearing the booties when he entered our home, even after I said he didn't have to put them on. He was very personable, nice and knew what he was doing. Overall he did a wonderful job, we are very pleased and are having him come back later this month to do a few other things we wanted done. He wrote up the estimates of everything and went over everything with us, that will be done later this month. I would highly recommend Mr Sparky. and again we were very happy with Eric Burgess...such a gentleman, smart and very hospitable.

The service performed was done well, and for the agreed-upon price. The electrician was professional and a nice guy. Best of all, they were able to get out to my house very quickly - it was the best option, even considering the high price - if I wanted the work done ASAP. However, I will not use this company again, nor would I recommend it. They take a lot of time to provide an estimate. Then after waiting for them to write up the estimate, you have to decide: Do I want a second opinion, and wait another week for someone else to come out here? Or would I rather just pay a price which is about double what I think it should be? I'd be much happier if they'd just work at an hourly rate plus materials cost, rather than "fixed prices" for particular tasks, regardless of how long it takes. Overall, I think their prices are really high for fairly simple work. But the work was done well. But it only took about an hour-and-a-half. That comes to about $330/hr, which seems pretty expensive to me. But, in the end, that's what the market is about. If I don't like how they prices work, I can just use someone else. That said, I was happy with the quality of the work, just not its price.

Hector arrived right on time. The original 2nd floor bathroom vent was located in the ceiling over the center of the bathtub and was turned on/off by pulling a chain while standing in the tub. The fan was vented into to the attic (against building code). Hector corrected the multiple issues very quickly and correctly. He discovered exposed wires and corrected the fire threat. He found the least expensive way to provide an electrical outlet in the 1st floor bathroom which never had one. Hector works quietly and efficiently. He leaves the work areas clean and neat. After he completed his work, Hector, explained how he addressed all the issues which he identified in his inspection off the house and showed us how the multifunction bathroom fan and lights. Anytime we have any electrical issues or worries we will always call Mister Sparky and request Hector.

My technician was Eric H. and he was great. My goal was to setup a way for a portable generator to directly connect to my home's electrical system. I explained my idea to Eric and he gave me a better solution that was more robust but at a lower price. The quality of the work was awesome and the job was done very promptly. One of the parts didn't arrive on the first visit so he completed everything he could and then returned to finish once the part arrived. Although the majority of the work was done on the first trip, I was not required to pay until the full job was finished. Great customer service!

Hector did a beautiful job installing the pendant light. He also inspected the breaker box and found that a bonding was missing and installed it in the same visit. Hector was prompt, very professional and cleaned up afterwards.

He checked the receptors and made the lights come back on. He did give me a break down of what it would costs to rewire the whole apartment.
