Mister Sparky Electrician Duncanville

Fantastic. Very thorough, professional and knowledgeable electrician. Will definitely call them again for future needs.

Electrician was a very nice man and took lots of time to tell me what he was going to do. BUT not only was his price 5 times the amount quoted by 2 other electricians but he also wanted me to pay a service call fee. My home is in Red Oak and I work in Duncanville which is a 15 minute drive for me everyday. The company is out of Duncanville so I found this very insulting. I told him that I would call the office to talk to them about the fee. I need lots of electrical things done at my house but I will never choose them because their prices are sky high and don't give Senior Discounts plus they charge a service call fee which was not told to me when I called their office nor did they state exactly when they would show up at my door. The other electricians didn't charge me a service call fee and they gave me an "earned age" discount.

I was excited that this business had such great reviews and were in my neighborhood. My canned lights are nearly 30 years old and I wanted them all replaced (about 30) with new ICAT rated fixtures with LED trims. I called around the last week of July and an appointed was made to have someone come to my home for an appraisal. I was told they would be out the afternoon of August 2. No one came nor was I called. I have contracted with another provider to do the work.

Casey arrived exactly on time. He checked every outlet in the house trying to find the problem, even went into the attic, where he actually found the problem. He was only on an estimate call, but he did have to find the problem first to tell us what it would cost to fix - It turned out to be such a small issue that he fixed it right away. The total cost was much less than we expected, especially when he had to open every outlet in the house, a total time of two hours. He helped move furniture as needed, very gently, and put everything back. He explained everything clearly and answered all our questions. Some of the reviews were not real happy for Mister Sparky, but we know this can vary because of the technician who comes out, and we were very happy with Casey. Because of his expertise and professionalism, we wouldn't hesitate to call Mister Sparky again.

Sent out an email with the details of the appointment 5 days before the appointment, very informative. Since I am the landlord and living in another state they kept my informed with what was going on with the repairs. Lena French is very efficient and friendly.

The Tech was awesome. A total technology geek, like me! Did a great job, great to speak with and knows his stuff. I think the pricing structure was a rip off but I'd actually pay anything to have the same tech come back and I can't remember his name!

This company did a great job and even went to the store to buy a high ladder since the one they owned at the time was not high enough. I could not have asked for more professional treatment.

He was in and out in half an hour. I watched him do the work, then wrote the check. The next day, my neck felt fine! What a deal!

They did a very good job. They were very thorough. They did a home inspection in addition to the repair work done. They worked quickly and went above and beyond to make sure everything was working correctly.

French Electrical dba Mr. Sparky sent out a technician to help us install wiring for a new range in the kitchen. My existing range (over 30 years old) had been hard-wired with 3-wire romex into a junction box in the wall. This old range had already been disconnected and removed. The new range had the electrical cord set and plug (4 wire 50A 240V) already installed (on site by the mfr distributor per local code). We asked the electrician to install a new box in the wall with the corresponding 4 wire cable and electrical outlet, which we provided. Here's where the problem started. The tech said we could forgo new code regulations and use the 3-wire system already in the wall, because the house is old and the non-legal wiring would be "grandfathered". The quote to do this was $394, which included: 1. Replace the existing box with a larger one (we supplied), using wire already installed, sticking out of the wall, wire nuts already there, and 2. Hook those wires to a 3-wire receptacle (which would not match the one installed on the new range, so that one would need to be exchanged also), plus 3. Hook up the matching plug-and-cord assembly to the range (tighten down 3 screws)--about $25 at the local DIY big box store. None of this would meet current code requirements. There is no "grandfathering" when a homeowner remodels. All new equipment (like the new range) is required to be installed to meet current codes. Grandfathering only occurs when a homeowner buys an older home: the existing appliances do not need to be to code if the homeowner agrees to buy "as is". Bottom line: In my opinion, the electrician basically was willing to do a sub-standard installation and had to be pressured to quote a legal installation, which was incredibly high, as he made it obvious he did not want to crawl under the house to pull the new cable. The not-to-code install for $394 could be done by any homeowner with a "how-to" book from the local DIY store and a screw driver. To bring the wiring up to code, the tech quoted us $1400.00 (less the $89 service fee) = $1316.00, which included: 1. Install (pull) 8/4 romex from the panel to the wall the range is on (about 40-50 feet; we are on pier & beam and the circuit box is in the garage, which shares a wall with the kitchen (the same wall the range is installed on). 2. Hook the wiring up to the existing 50A 2P circuit breaker. 3. Install a 2-gang electrical box (we supplied it). 4. Wire the 4-wire receptacle (we supplied). Unfortunately, after this ordeal, I feel like I have just been ripped off by a used car salesman in a lot full of lemons (or I would have been, if we had allowed the work to be done). Now I need to find an electrician who is interested in doing quality work for a fair price.

I used them to install an outlet. The cost seems high, but that is the industry. I used a big deal to reduce the cost. | |All went well, Casey was helpful.

ran electricity from house to storage building, wired storage building. Also added two additional outside outlets to home.

They did an excellent job! The work was performed by the owner and his sons. The sons helped with the outside job and the work was completed in an extremely professional and timely manner.

It was pretty expensive, but it works. They did a good job. They were on time.

It was fine. They were very professional and it took three days to complete.

It went well. They explained everything and were very thorough. They gave me options and repaired it quickly.

They did very good work both time. They were prompt and on time. They were pricey, but I would hire them again bc they will definitely be able to fix anything.

Bill French came out to my house sunday after hours to fix my electircal problmes, which if he did not my house could of had an electoral fire. He told us what to buy at Home Depot and came to our home to help fix our problem. They are honest good christian people, crew is empecable, leave your home in great condition, they are prompt and on time, they are just amazing, great customer service! The absolutely only people I would ever trust. There is not enough people out there like them.

They did alright. The work was satisfactory.

They gave an estimate and charged me quite a bit for the estimate. They did not fix the problem. They turned out to be expensive.

We would highly recommend Mister Sparky to all our friends and family. We have used this company for many years and they always do everything they say they are going to do. Everyone in their company really knows their stuff. Their pricing is fair, and they have always done a great job for us. Everyone at Mister Sparky will always go above and beyond for their customers.

The workers were ontime and very polite. They walked me through every step they were doing. They also cleaned up after themselves. I am very satisified with the work that was done.

We recently used Mister Sparky of Duncanville at our home and our business. I knew I had contacted a company that was going to take care of our problems, along with our property, the minute they arrived. Their employees were very courteous, neat, and knowledgeable. We will recommend this company to everyone. Thanks Mister Sparky.
