Mister Sparky of Atlanta

SCAM ALERT. This company deserves a 0 rating. They tried to convince us that a new electrical panel was needed in our 40+ year old house and to borrow $12,000 to pay for it. An honest electrician fixed the shorted light fixture for $150.00 including the new fixture.

Yes, the electrical codes have changed in 40 years, but every house built since then does not have to be updated to the current new home codes.

These jerks will try to rip you off any way possible.

GA Power told me my meter was overheating because of corroded aluminum lugs that hold the meter in place. I got 3 estimates over the phone and they were $500, $600, and $10,000. Guess which one was Mr. Sparky? Yep, the $10k because he insisted on replacing my entire panel and all the wiring to it.

If I had $9,400 to give away it certainly wouldn't be to a company so flippant, curt, and dismissive as Mr. Sparky.

I had a tech come by to look at the work we needed done; first of all he didn't even ask about the work we needed, he start in on trying to find problems with our electricity, he found one problem, said he was surprised.
So he quote me a price of 3500 dollars to change out all the plugs in the house, not including the work we needed done, he said I'll replace the lights for free.
Then he finally gave us a quote for two lights units to be replaced in the bathroom, one socket on the wall and two light switches on the wall all coming to 1600 dollars.

This company is a joke and charged me 39 dollars for the visit. Never use these people, scam artist at best.

Quoted one price over the phone e and when tech arrived it was a totally different price with out any additional services required.

It's one thing to pay a $100 verses $400

I would think twice about using this Buiness.

Mr. Sparky, mr joke: can't remember the electrician's name but, he was a real airhead! When he came into my house, I asked him where is the reset button on my GFC outlet, he said there was none, I'll have to troubleshoot this issue to see which outlets are bad and when he went outside to look at the outlet that didn't have a GFC reset I went into the garage and to my surprise I found the outlet with GFC reset button and pushed it and problem fixed. As I was coming out of the garage and he was coming back inside my house, I said I found the reset button & it's now working. He said well, you must have the magic touch because I pushed that button 3 times and it didn't work. I said well, all outlets are working now so you can leave and how much do I owe you! He said I have to write an order up for troubleshooting. I said there was no troubleshooting. I just reset button. I feel he tried to run up a huge fictitious bill and scam me out of money. Not very honest, I will never ever call or recommend them again! Wish I could post ZERO stars because they definitely deserve this rating!

Honest and upfront about repairs needed, I would hire them again. The came in short notice and advise us on what we should do before inspection.

Needed a new line ran for my electric cook stove. This also included changing out the 3 prong outlet to a 4 prong. Less than 20 feet of line needed to be ran. Got a quote for Mister Sparky for over $1,700. Got another estimate from a couple other companies and most of them are under $600. I went with a local gentleman who only charged me $500 to do the job plus put in a new grounding rod that the Mr. sparky electrician didn't catch that was disconnected.
Shop around!!!

So far I have not had a good experience. I called to have my appointment set up last week for today. Got my appointment and was told the technician would come to my home anywhere from 8-12. As I realized it was getting close to the time, I called to check on the status- no appointment could be found. That is completely unacceptable. How does someone go through creating a whole account, giving them an address, and no appointment is set up. Not understanding where the miscommunication occurred but already not happy with this service.

My experience was great! Electrician was professional, knowledgeable and did a great job fixing the problem. They exceeded my expectations, and contact and updates we're as expected. I would definetly use them again!

Please be wary. I asked for a quote to install a new panel and an outlet. Two different operators informed me that they would give me a free estimate to install my panel. They then informed me that they would have to send a different tech to give an estimate on the outlet and that they would charge $59 (waived if I picked them). This is unnecessary and extortion. A reputable company will quote your job and earn your business. Not only will I never use this company, but I will question every homelister (and by default Angie's list) recommendation (since they are owned by the same company).
