Mister Sparky® holds ourselves to the strictest standards, including compliance with all local and national codes dictated by the National Electrical Code (NEC). Our standards ensure our customers' homes are as safe and as reliable as possible, and also protects their investment: by complying with the NEC, our electricians make sure homeowners can sell their homes with minimal trouble.
For homeowners who are buying, selling, or considering a new home, electrical inspections are crucial to a.) understanding what you're getting into, and b.) ensuring a home is safe. Even newly-remodeled homes might have neglected electrical systems with aging components, outdated design, and other problems that range from inconvenient to dangerous.
It's also worth noting that older homes might not be up to the most recent codes, as the NEC is constantly improving and iterating. Even if a home is up to code, it may not be suited for the demanding power needs of the average family. With several laptops, smartphones, screens, and other devices for each family member, having reliable power everywhere in the house is vital—an inspection lets you know what you're working with.
Local jurisdictions and code enforcement boards inspect for compliance with the minimum standards, as set forth in code. The extensively trained and licensed technicians at Mister Sparky electrical comply with all local and state codes. Our techs are specifically trained to flag and take corrective action to keep your property and family safe.
Some electric code violation guidelines include:
To avoid critical overloading on receptacles where high wattage power devices like hair dryers could be in use, there must be at least one separate 20 amp. branch circuit.
Outdated wiring is one of the most common problems found in older homes. Fires can start when wires fray or when breaker boxes can’t handle the demands placed upon them. When these things occur, heat transfer to surrounding objects can cause them to smoke or ignite. Arcing is an even more dangerous possibility where the electrical current jumps across connections instead of moving through a circuit. This is essentially a form of lightning and the risk of fire or electric shock is very real. Ungrounded plugs and faulty outlets are also causes of home fires. The best way to stop fires and electrocution from happening is to have your home electric system inspected by a pro.
Protect your investment and avoid surprises by getting an electrical inspection for your new home or renovation. Mister Sparky provides comprehensive inspections to uncover hidden electrical risks. We can also help you determine how new appliances will affect your home if you are making upgrades. If you are adding a new water heater system, extra refrigerators, an outdoor oven, or more space heaters, these will all make heavy demands on your home’s wiring and breakers.
If you need to upgrade your box or add a new subpanel, we can advise you on next steps. If you are unsure about the state of your system, our team can tell you the exact condition of your home’s outlets, wiring, breakers, grounding, and insulation.
Inspections are quick and remarkably affordable. By making sure you have a thorough electrical inspection completed by a qualified Mister Sparky electrician before buying, selling, or remodeling a home, you can help ensure your home's electrical system operates at the highest level of safety possible. Our trained technicians can provide whole house rewiring and evaluation of your circuits to ensure compliance to code and the safe delivery of electrical current within your home.

Sal and Austin did excellent work on our install of the EV charger for our new vehicle. They were very fast and efficient. Terry came for the initial consultation. He was very knowledgeable about what was needed and explained the entire process and purchase with great detail. Dave and Terry were here after the install to go over final paperwork. It was an excellent experience overall! They have excellent customer service as a company and provide all information up front. I love that they offer warranties with their service. Highly recommended company.

I needed a quote for some electrical work to do in my house. I searched and found Mister Sparkly, we did an appointment, and I had a great experience with the level of professionalism and expertise from Terry Hines. He explained everything in words that I could understand, and he quoted me in different works that I wanted to do. He gave me a great service and orientation as a new home owner. Part of the work will start as soon as the next day. Thank you so much! Update - Tyler and Cory came in today to do the project, and as Terry, they were so professional and diligent in their work that I was totally impressed for their high-quality ethics and professionalism. Definitely, going forward, they are going to be the ones that are going to take care of all my electricity and/or power issues. Thank you so much!!

Terry and his team were absolutely amazing!! They were so thorough in their inspection and figuring out some electrical issues with wiring from previous home owners. He was professional and extremely knowledgeable. He made sure I understood the issues and never oversold me on the resolutions.
