Mister Sparky - New Port Richey

Not very good at all

I only needed my batteries in my smoke alarms changed
And they wanted to upcharge and sell me a whole new system

I got an estimate from 5 different electricians to install a transfer switch for a portable generator. Mr. Sparky actually have me 5 estimates that ranged from insane to bend over. The estimates varied from the install of the transfer switch with a power surge protector costing $3300 to a cheap method of a interlock switch without a surge protector for $1300. The other 4 estimates, all transfer switch installs without the unnecessary surge protector ranged from $200 to $475. Let me make clear that ALL estimates came from state licensed electrician companies within the Hudson, New Port Richey area. What a massive difference. Do your homework people, Mr. Sparky is out for all your $$$$$$! Nothing they do can warrant a $3000 difference for the same job!

We needed an electrician to fix an outlet and blown fuse box, well they came out and told us they couldn't do any work due to the electrical work being ""illegal"" (we just moved in a few months prior). This was 2 days before Christmas so we didn't have time to get a second opinion and went forward. Well... fast forward to having the St.petersburg inspector come out and he tells us ""you grossly over paid for this work"" he estimated we over paid by 2k.
At the time we thought we were getting good service so we recommended them to my sister who recently bought a house. THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HER. however by the time we had our inspection she had already got the work done. Unfortunately she paid 1.5k MORE than I did. DO NOT USE THEM!

Called them because a few lights were not working in the house. I was told on the phone that there was no service charge and the would diagnose the problem and I was at no obligation to have the repair done. When the technician arrived it was a different story I was told that it would be a minimum of $306.75 for a small repair like a light switch, receptacle etc..... It turned out to be a loose wire at one of the breakers he repaired it. He was there for roughly an hour. He was nice guy but not worth $306.75 to repair a wire. Hope Mr Sparky is enjoying my money, because he will never see another dime from me. Take notice they are a rip off

Their work may be good, but we were never given the opportunity to find out. We set an appt online at their website in order to use a coupon they posted, but I never heard from them as their response to the appt setting indicated. When I called them, I was told the appt did not go through so had not been added to their schedule. Not only did they waste my time trying to set an appt, call them to confirm the appt, but my fuel & 45 min travel time to the building where the work us to be done. They need to pay attention to their website if they are hoping to generate business from it.

Don't do it. I requested a quote on replacement of two existing ceiling fans and one new install. Electric is available and serviceable at all locations. Circuit breakers are operational at all locations. I showed the tech the job. I showed the tech where the breaker panel was. I confirmed he understood this simple exercise. He said he would have a quote for me in a couple of minutes and he remained in my garage to develop the quote....or so I thought. I waited 10 minutes and went to check on the tech and the quote. In the garage I witnessed that the tech had dismantled the front of my service panel and was doing an inspection which had not been discussed or agreed upon. The tech wanted to point out a potential area of failure and assured me that while my ""home was not about to burn down"" there was a faulty area that he assured me would cause the panel to fail shortly. At that point I told the tech to replace the panel and be gone. He wanted to ""explain"" that he was not trying to sell me something I didn't need"". I repeated instructions for him to replace the front of the fully functional panel and be gone adding that I had not asked for or agreed to anything but the aforementioned quote.
When he replaced the front of the panel he said he was sorry there was a misunderstanding but that he had to do this undiscussed work to determine if the system was safe before he could work on it. And of course I feel certain that based on his first comment he was about to launch into another repair. Must think I am a senile senior citizen. Badly played and misjudged. I can only imagine his approach if it were just my elderly wife.
The mission was ceiling fans in an exceptionally well kept, maintained and upgraded home. That, by the way was recently inspected from stem to stern by a professional electrical engineer with over three decades of seasoning.
Finally, on his way out and trying to explain, I simply agreed with whatever he was saying. I told him he was right because that appeared to be his objective--being right. He continued on and I asked him if he thought he ""could be more right""?
My request was so simple. I have personally installed or replaced fans in 9 different homes we have owned in 4 different states. A thought at age 66 I would stay off the ladder and pass the baton to the ""younger trained professionals"". Lot of elements to training and technical expertise is just one.

I will conclude by saying you were indeed quick to get here with lots of electronic queues. And good job doing an exit-interview.

Sadly, you were prompted just as quickly to leave, un-hired resulting in a lose-lose experience.

I had the oil in my well functioning auto replaced recently. They did not remove the oil pan or valve cover. They performed the job as agreed. They got a 5 Star Yelp review. This review will next appear on YELP.

This company's pricing is unrealistic. I only have some minor lighting issues that need repair, not a complete upgrade of my electric! I'll be having someone else do the work that won't charge me more than what it cost me to go to the Emergency Room earlier in the year (no joke!)

Mother's house had a broken wire at the service entrance resulting in no 240v appliances working and only half the 120v outlets working. Mr Sparky at first quoted over $4000 to ""do it right""!!! We refused that offer so they reduced it to $875 to just do the ""bare minimum"". I researched the price of material to be about $30, so we rejected that quote also. We called another local company to do the work. Final charge = $185 and done in 90 minutes. When I told the second tech about the huge estimate, he replied ""It was Mr Sparky, right?"". He then explained that the techs there are salesmen working on a commission and that they prey on elderly customers like my 95 year old mom. Shame on them!

Thank you to Brett Eberly for the fast turn around time. The electric from the range hood, ceiling fan, and two overhead lights was all messed up. Brett found the problem which was in the fan. He explained everything in detail as to correct the problem. He was very professional and friendly. We will only call Mister Sparky for any future electrical needs. Plus they honor senior citizen and veteran discount. THANK YOU BRETT!

Overpriced!! 2900.00 hundred quoted to replace breaker panel. Was done by another company for 1200 The guy was such a salesman trying to justify price with best employees, best tools,best equipment, things any company would strive for. Also, had to pay 129.00 charge cause after 5.
