Mister Sparky First Coast

Bill G.

Called for a quote to fix a double tap issue with my breaker box. Person how came told me that the box was full and the only way to solve the issue was to put in a new larger breaker box. Quoted me $2,400 to do it. I asked if a subpanel could be installed, he said it would be more expensive then a new panel. Told him to send me the quote as I was planning to get additional quotes. He then told me if I had the work done right then I would get a 15% discount, but only if I had the work done while he was there. Told him to send the quote! He then told me there was a $69 service call fee, which no one explained with I set up the appointment. I then had a second electric company come for a quote. After 5 minutes of checking out the breaker panel the second company said that the fix was no big deal. Within 30 minutes he had created additional space in the box and cured the double tap situation plus added a spare breaker and only charged $260 for parts and labor. Plus he said that adding a subpanel would have been far cheaper then replacing a whole new breaker panel.The person sent by Mister Sparky either didn't know what he was doing or was scamming me with a very expensive upsell. Never use Mister Sparky without getting a second quote unless you want to pay through the nose for work you don't need. They did refund the service call fee after I complained. I will never use them again!

The utmost professionals. They arrived on time, called in advance, did a great job and cleaned up afterwords. Ask for Brad and Joe they were awesome. They have fair prices and gave us an accurate estimate before hand. Really glad I listened to all the previous reviews and went with these guys.

Mayor with Mr. Sparky has consistently provided stellar service and support throughout our home renovation project. He does a great job with executing the basic's; he show's up when he says he's going to, he does the work he promises to do, he offers solutions for issues that we initially were not aware of, he's timely in completing projects, he's reliable, responsible and knowledgeable. We plan on using Mr. Sparky for future projects.

Mr. Sparky just saved us a lot of money. I give them very high marks for honestly and customer service, particularly for a young electrician named Travis. Our electricity was out late at night. JEA told us it was a main breaker and our problem. We sent photos of the breaker to a different highly rated company (American Electric), and they told us it that because it was an obsolete Sylvania breaker, we would have to go without power overnight and pay over $1,600 for a whole new panel.Their charge just to look at it was $325. We called Mr. Sparky for a second opinion. They immediately identified the breaker from the photo as a Seimens, had it in stock, came out immediately, convinced JEA that their meter was bad, and fixed our problem at 1 a.m. for a few hundred dollars. Mr. Sparky also noted that Seimens and Sylvania (which is NOT obsolete) are interchangeable in our panel. Mr. Sparky saved us a lot of money and inconvenience. If you want honest and professional work, don't use anyone else

Sean from Mister Sparky contacted me and listened to my side and we worked out an acceptable agreement . I was impressed that they did contact me and were willing to negotiate a resolution.

They charge ""by the job"" not ""by the hour"", but the price quote is not free. They charged me $59 to come out and quote me over $600 to replace four simple ceiling lights in the kitchen with existing wiring. No attic work, no special mounting work. Should have been less than an hour's work and they quoted over $600.
I should also mention the guy spent 20 minutes trying to sell me his fixtures when I already had mine in the house ready to install.
I should also mention I called the office and courteously informed them that their quote was out of line. They promised me a callback from a manager - which never occurred.
I'm sorry I paid the $59.
Update 5/23/2017:
After posting the above review, Mister Sparky contacted me and offered to refund the $59, which they did. They also asked me to take down the negative review. I said I would modify it. I have removed the negative language but I will leave the facts.

Today a different electrical company came to the house and installed the lights as requested for a $30 truck fee and $75 for one hour's labor.

The price Mister Sparky quoted me was not competitive and they did not get the job. That's how the free market works.

David also provided excellent service in installing three ceiling fans and upgrading our fire alarm system. He was efficient, arrived on time, explained policies, and completed work on time. I agree strongly with Tim M's review. I will use Mister Sparky again and ask for David to do the work.

I used this company for an electrical issue in my garage. Their rep, David, showed up on time, gave me a fair estimate, and completed the work on time. He did excellent work and explained the guarantee on the work completed. I will use them again.

They don't have anyone answering the phone, only an answering machine. I called twice, left messages and never received a callback.
