Randy the electrician showed up promptly on time as scheduled each day of work. Was very professional, courteous, and friendly. Did the work in a very timely manner. He installed new lighting and fans in two bathrooms, overhead lights in the hallway, kitchen and over the fireplace. Along with rewiring the tv cable and electrical box over the fireplace. Can't say enough good about Randy and the owner Tony.
Description of Work: Install overhead halogen lights, reroute cable (TV), move overhead fan 10ft.

I was not impressed. The serviceman arrived on time for the original sales call (June 13th), but then they didn't seem to have any concern for my time on the installation. They originally said they would come back in two days (June 15th). Then they called and rescheduled for the next week (18th or 19th). I rent my condo so this involved making special arrangements. Then they never showed up! After multiple phone calls, they finally rescheduled for June 26th, first thing in the morning. I drove down that morning to meet them. By 10:30, they still had not shown up! When I called, suddenly, they were on their way. They arrived shortly thereafter and began the work. Made me wonder if I hadn't driven three hours down there, would they have not shown up again?! UPDATE: The owner contacted me and apologized profusely. I believe that everyone can make mistakes and he realized that they had. He said he discussed the situation with his employees and corrected the errors they made. I believe that the contractors who recognize their mistakes and work to correct them are worth giving a second chance. If I need them again, I will give them another shot.

Response from Mister Sparky of Myrtle Beach
(Member name removed), I apologize for our poor performance on our visit to your home. This is not characteristic of Mister Sparky of Myrtle Beach. There were many areas that we could have improved upon for your particular installation. One of the major hurdles we had was material acquisition for the wire mold that was needed for running your circuits surface mount. The parts and pieces can be hard to acquire because of piece minimums, and we should have done a better job in communicating that with you. The other issues you mentioned are definitely not acceptable and again not characteristic of the way we do business. Thank you for writing this review as it allows me to review with my employees on how a customer feels when we under perform and inconvenience them. I have reviewed this with all of my employees so that we can continually improve. Our goal is to not be like the status quo when it comes to service companies, and we continually strive to be the best. Your complaint will help us in our efforts to constantly improve on becoming the best.

I CALLED TO ASK WHAT THE PRICE TO INSTALL FIXTURE WAS AND WAS TOLD $49.50. WOW, I THOUGHT THAT WAS GREAT! ACTUALLY, THE $49.50 WAS ONLY FOR THEM MAKING THE SERVICE CALL.. THE COST TO INSTALL THE CHANDLIER WAS $159.00. WHAT A SHOCK! THEN I ASKED HIM TO INSTALL A DIMMER SWITCH. TOOK HIM LESS THAN 5 MINS. AND HE CHARGED AN ADDITIONAL $109. THESE SWITCHES AT MOST MIGHT COST $15-20. ADD TAX AND IT WAS ALMOST $300. QUALITY OF WORK: GREAT WOULD I USE THEM AGAIN. . . . ABSOLUTELY NOT

Response from Mister Sparky of Myrtle Beach
[member name removed], I am sorry to hear that you will not be using Mister Sparky again. My employees always give a price upfront (which doesn't change) to avoid any confusion at the end of the job. We also offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee to all of our customers so that if there is a problem we want to have it addressed for our customers as soon as possible. We strive to earn our customers business by providing them a positive experience with all of our services. It also appeared that Randy reduced our travel/dispatch from the original 49.00 to 29.00 for you allowing us to perform the work that day. I will reach out to you personally as well to see if your complaint can be resolved.

Went fine. He came within the timeframe I was given and he took special care covering his shoes whenever he had to come into the house. Before doing the work, he asked if the position of the light was where I wanted it. Very pleased with the result.

A good experience. Read prior reviews on Angie's list and found them to be accurate, even the ones that said the service would tend to be on the pricey side. Frankly, I would rather have that than a jackleg who didn't know any more about lighting than I do. Thanks, Angie.
Description of Work: Replaced two 8 foot dual light fixtures in garage with newer, more efficient fixtures. I was advised that the system we had was now obsolete (23 years old). Both workers were very knowledgeable and professional. A pleasant experience.

I can not rate this company higher than I did! Through a simple human error, they neglected to schedule the service call on my home that we had agreed upon. When I called to ask what had happened, the owner personally took resonsibility for the oversight, and promised get someone out immediately. This was at 5:00 PM on a Friday! The technician called me to let me know he was on his way. Upon his arrival, he quickly completed running an electrical and data line so I could install a flat screen tv on the wall. He was friendly and kept me informed at all times of what he was doing. He even played with our dogs! And when the job was satisfactorily complete, he advised me that there would be no charge because of the scheduling mess up! Imagine my suprise at such wonderful customer service and fairness. I will use Misty Sparky in the future and recommend them to all my friends and neighbors. This is the way to do business so that customers want to use you again. Thanks.
Description of Work: They ran a electrical circuit to my wall over the mantle, so that I can install a flat screen tv and hide the wiring. They also ran the data line to the same location.

Randy and Brian showed up exactly when they said they would the first time they came out. Originally I called Mr. Sparky just to repair a few items in the house, however when they got there they identified that I had an old electrical panel that was prone to failure and potential fires and informed me they could not do any work without first replacing the panel. I suspected my panel was due to be replaced so I agreed to have all of the work done that they recommended, which included my original list of items. When they came back to do the work it was Randy, Brian, and even Tony (the owner) who came out, along with a boat to work on my boat lift. Again, they showed up when they said they would and got started right away. They were able to finish most of the work but not everything. We agreed that Randy would come back in a few days to finish up. Randy came back by himself this time, and again showed up when he said he would and even called me when he was on the way. Randy let me tag along with him while he replaced some of the outlets and patiently answered my questions and explained things to me along the way, which I appreciated. He did a thorough inspection of the house, including the attic which is a very tight space. Randy and Brian were both very professional and personable and respectful of the house, always careful to wear protective covering on their shoes, and I have confidence that they are both top notch electricians after watching them work. Randy even brought some treats for my dog, which I'm sure she appreciated. I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Installed new electrical panel and ground, re-made connections and replaced conduit to boat lift, fixed a non-functioning ceiling fan, installed several GFCI receptacles, and replaced several other receptacles.

We live in an older home and our breaker box/panel was in bad shape--old and unsafe. The box was located in a kitchen cabinet and was awkward to access. Randy from Mister Sparky removed the old breaker box from the cabinet and installed a new one in the next room. In addition to replacing the breaker box, he installed surge protection for our cable & phone lines. Randy was great to work with, and he gave us very clear information about what he was doing as he worked through the process of installing the new box. We feel much safer now that the work is complete. Because we did not have an outside disconnect for our electric service, the electric company had to come out and pull the meter. Randy worked with the company to coordinate their visits and made the process painless. We are pleased with the result and very happy that the price we were quoted at the beginning of the process is exactly what we were charged at the end. We will be calling Mister Sparky (and Randy) again to do some additional work.

Stellar job, very professional, courteous and thorough professional electrician. We will be calling Mr Sparky again for our electrical needs. We are happy to recommend Mr Sparky very highly.
Description of Work: Randy McAlpine with Mr Sparky came to our home and single handedly hung 5 oversized ceiling fans with lights in an amazingly short period of time. Mr McAlpine was most courteous and professional throughout the whole experience. He explained that 3 of the fan locations needed special electrical "fan boxes" installed so that the job would be done exactly to code. He did that and hung all 5 ceiling fans ( which are all very large, oversized fans) without any assistance other than his electricians tools and his ladder. Afterwards, he cleaned up all the debris and waste and left our home cleaner than when he started. Before he left, he explained the operation of each fan and light fixture, 3 of which operate with a remote control. It is very comforting knowing the job was done right and that these big fans have been installed correctly, especially since they are above our heads! It was well worth every penny to know the fans will work like they are supposed to and they are safe. We couldn't be any more pleased with his work or this company. The ceiling fans work,and look great! The entire experience with Mr Sparky has been stellar! We do plan to call Mr Sparky again for our electrical needs and we are happy to recommend this company highly.

Brian is a great asset to the company. He was personable, courteous and professional. The work was difficult with many decisions to be made about placement and what can and can't be done. He was helpful making those decisions by providing information and advice. He attempted to locate a remote fan sensor in two boxes without success but persisted it until he installed it in the attic space which is very tight. We are very satisfiled.
Description of Work: Move dining room light to new location. Move Living room fan/light to new location. Install new cable outlet. The cable had to be run outside the building t the new location. Since we switched living and dining areas, new boxes had to be installed for both fixtures in new locations.

The service was absolutely fantastic overall. We were extremely pleased, and they were so good initially, we called them back again! I couldn’t say anything negative about them, and we would recommend them highly for any electrical work. Also, because we belong to Angie’s List, they gave us a discount.
Description of Work: The first time they were out, they took lights down, installed fans, and installed a regulator device in the garage. The second time, they did some general electric work.

The service was okay overall, but he wasn’t able to resolve the problem or figure out what was causing the problem. He did check everything thoroughly, told us it might be a water heater problem, and did his best. We’ll probably have to call a plumber. The only reason why I wouldn’t use him again is since he’s located far away from our area, he charged an extra fee.
Description of Work: When we used the shower in our home, and we touched any metal surrounding the tub (metal shower rings or metal window frame), it would zap us. We weren’t sure what the problem was; we thought it might be an electrical problem, so we called Mister Sparky.

The service went fine. I didn’t get done exactly what I needed to get done, but I think that was probably more my fault than theirs. The electrician was nice and did what he could. They were a really easy company to work with overall.
Description of Work: The electrician needed to fix a problem that was caused by my irrigation system. I didn’t know enough about it to tell him exactly what was wrong, so he had to try to figure out himself what the problem was.
