Mister Sparky

These electricians are the best. Above and beyond service all the time! We have used them twice this year, and had the good fortune of working with both Seth and Dave M. The first time was just to put in a new oven. Turned out the oven wouldn’t fit (not their fault). They spent the whole day problem solving and doing what it took to get the oven in and working. Amazing work! Recently they helped us bring our old house up to code. The are fast, do excellent work and are very fairly priced. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Zach was very helpful! He let me know all of my options and didn’t try to just get my money. I would strongly recommend mr sparky for all your electrical needs!

Situation: We realized that a tree branch was pulling the power line (to our house) down causing the housing to become detached from our home. We called around to several electricians and no one could some out for several weeks. Finally we called Mister Sparky and they were able to get some to come out on a non-​emergency call that week.
Solution: Dave Morrison (electrician) showed up on time, with a huge friendly smile, and was AWESOME to work with. He worked with us to find the best solution to the unique electrical problems that come with owning an old home. First he discovered that the hot wire to our house was bent and arching. Next he saw that the electrical panel our meter was attached to was not up to code. Finally the position of the wires to our window was not up to code either (needed to be 3 feet away and it was less than a foot).
Dave disconnect the line to the house and we cut the branches out of the way while he did all the necessary updates to bring us up to code. It was a pretty long job he was here for over 3 hours working in the rain to get us back up and running. I will definitely be calling these guys again for help.

We had a great experience with Seth! He was so friendly and down to earth. He fixed a circuit board and our a/​c issue. Now our new home is running well!
Seth was very knowledgable about everything. Highly recommended!

I agree with Bob P. below. This is a highly dishonest company. If you have a true emergency, you will not have a choice because thet are the only company as far as I can tell who are available 24 – 7. If not an emergency, shop around and do your homework. Ask friends and neighbors for help. It’ll be worth it. They came for an emergency one weekend at a rental property. Told me, no problem, they can fix it. Weeks later after paying the bill, I come to find from my tenant that there is a part 2 to the «fixing» and the problem still exists. I call them, nobody can find an estimate or an answer. My tenant is obviously upset and has been led to believe by them that something is majorly wrong. I have no choice but to allow them to come and estimate and do the work. What they charged was literally highway robbery and probably 2−3x higher than what should have been charged. To give you an example if how completely insane this company is, they do a «free house safety inspection.» They told me the way my smoke/​co detectors was currently arranged was not up to code. They offered to switch two of them to different locations and replace 2 so that I’d be up to code. Total cost estimate? $ 670.00. He was surprised when I declined. I then went online to both my city’s website and the Minnesota website to read about CO and smoke detector codes. Turns out he was citing me the codes for currently constructed homes and older homes are exempt from these new codes to a certain degree.
So in the end, I still have no idea if the repairs will actually fix the problem. And the only truthful part of their free inspection is that smoke detectors more than 8 – 10 years old do expire and so two of mine need to be replaced. My advice is to not waste your time on the free insoection if you do have to hire them for any reason.
I am considering filing a report to the BBB for review. If you want to see the estimates for the smoke detectors, contact me. I’d be happy to share.

We called Mr. Sparky after a falling tree ripped the electrical conduit and service master from the side of our house, leaving the live power line lying in the yard and draped over the street. (Astonishingly, we never lost power.) We called the next day and they had an electrician dispatched the following day to get us fixed back up.
This work wasn’t cheap, but I felt that the price was reasonable and appreciated that they were transparent about their pricing structure. Mark Czemensky came out the afternoon that I called to assess the situation, he showed me their menu of prices for the services they provide, and explained where the job we needed fit into that before asking for my signature on the work order. The next day they arrived on time and completed the work as expected.
Very professional, hassle-​free experience. I’d recommend them.

I had a very good experience with them — I had a branch take out the mast leading to my electrical supply on the night before Memorial day. No one else had anyone working that could get me back on line, and I had a very nice electrician who did everything correctly. It was not the cheapest place, but they are professional and did the job correctly. I would use them in an emergency any time — my regular electrician is less expensive, but their service was great at a time no one else would help.

Watch out for these folks. They came to our home in St. Paul and by breaking part of the wall after claiming a new box was needed proceeded to do work we did not want. They never fixed the initial problem (just pulled a wire) and carefully noted that it was not guaranteed and then submitted a bill of almost $ 500 for less than half an hour’s work. Do Not use them.
