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 Even newly-remodeled homes might have neglected electrical systems with aging components, outdated design, and other problems that range from inconvenient to dangerous.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Outdated wiring is one of the most common problems found in older homes.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.

Carlos C and the Mr. Sparky team provided excellent electrical service for my 1928 home. Carlos arrived within the appointment window and after sending timely reminders. Once on site, he was professional, answered all my questions, and even checked additional outlets I was concerned about. The quote was fair and all work was completed efficiently. While the initial phone experience was professional, I would suggest holding off on the electrical plan pitch until after the home evaluation (which is when I ultimately decided to sign up for the annual breaker box cleaning and annual electrical inspection). Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and will definitely use Mr. Sparky for future electrical projects to update my older home’s wiring. Special thanks to Carlos C. for his five star service!

Dustin did another great job in my home. A simple dead out let lead to a bigger problem that neither of us inspected. He troubleshooted the problem thoroughly and never once made me feel pressured to move forward with the next steps. He explained what he was doing and thinking to allow me to understand his thought process and make informed decisions. In the end he found a problem that was very well hidden and close to causing a house fire due to negligence from the previous home owner changing wiring on their own without proper knowledge of the aluminum wiring in the home. They had moved the outlet themselves improperly and completely covered up the previous box with no access, this caused me to have no knowledge of it. I am grateful for his expertise and this is why Mr. Sparky is my preferred choice for electrical needs for over 30 years thanks to the work on my parents home and continued help on my own home.

I lost power in my garage and couldn't find the culprit. Checked all the usual suspects. I needed to call an electrician! I was scared and afraid. We all the know stereotypes. I found Mister Sparky online and crossed my fingers. They were great and able to work me in the following morning. Dustin Moser was the licensed electrician that arrived exactly on time. He was polite and efficient in finding out our problem. Unfortunately, our entire electrical panel needed to be replaced. Yikes. Well, Dustin worked until almost 9pm that night to make sure that mmy family and I had electricity before he left. He did an amazing job and was super polite and professional. Even work booties in my home to keep it clean. Thank you Dustin!

Very impressed with company policies, for example no additional trip charge on weekends! Eric very thorough and knowledgeable; which I had noticed their website sooner! Came back today to hang pendant lights and did an excellent job! Very impressed with the problem solving that occurred to hang these as they were not easy!

Alex came for my annual inspection. Thankfully there wasn't any issues. He brought an exterior outlet up to code and replaced the outdated outlets in my kitchen. Very nice and conscientious young man. Mr. Sparky is excellent at updating arrival and communicating. Easy scheduling. No complaints!
