Here's how it works:
We install, replace, and repair the most common types of home generators, including:
Installing a home generator incorrectly poses serious safety hazards, including back-feeding, increased fire risk, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Hiring a professional electrician for your generator installation is essential.
The professional generator installers at Mister Sparky have the technical knowledge and skills to do the job the right way. Each electrician at your local Mister Sparky branch is licensed and certified to perform residential electrical work. With so much experience, you can count on them to prepare your generator for years of safe, reliable use. We'll do what it takes to help you take control of your electrical supply while keeping your home stable, safe, and resilient.
Electricity is an essential utility for modern households. From the refrigerator to the washing machine and television, you rely on electricity for numerous practical and entertainment purposes. An outage can be a significant disruption, especially if it lasts for days. Mister Sparky's generator installation services give you a way to access power when the main supply goes down.
Adding a generator to your home’s electrical system is a great way to protect your family from prolonged power loss. When an outage occurs, flipping the transfer switch will shift your home's electrical system to your generator's power supply. There are multiple options to choose from. You can use a standby generator to power a few devices until power comes back. On the other hand, there are whole-home generators that can support multiple appliances at a time. Mister Sparky will help you choose a generator model that meets your needs and budget.
We can fix most types of generators, but we’ll replace your generator if it’s beyond repair. With your approval, we’ll find a similar or superior replacement generator, remove the old unit, and install the new generator quickly and efficiently.
As a part of every generator repair appointment, we’ll provide a detailed diagnosis of your generator’s functionality and advise repair or replacement based on our findings. Trust Mister Sparky to give you all the information you need to make an informed decision!
While most high-quality and professionally installed generators last 30-40 years, there are several signs it’s time to replace your unit, including:
Keep your home running smoothly in any situation with a new generator.

How much does home generator installation cost?
The cost to install a generator varies based on the generator's price, the installation process's complexity, the unit's size, and other factors. We provide a custom price estimate for every service call to ensure our customers get the best price possible.
Why do I need a generator?
Families choose to install a home generator for several reasons, including convenience. Having a gas or electric generator installed powers your home’s lights, appliances, and HVAC system during grid outages. Many households rely on generators to power medical devices and maintain safe living conditions for children and older adults, especially in severe weather or areas that experience frequent, prolonged outages.
Do you install commercial generators?
Most Mister Sparky locations can source and install industrial and commercial generators! These large systems can power larger buildings and keep operations moving despite rolling or prolonged outages. Installing a commercial generator is a great way to protect your business from costly delays due to storms or electrical problems. Contact your local Mister Sparky to see if they can install a commercial generator at your facility.

Carlos is an excellent, through and professional Technician! He called before arrival, arrived on time and did a great job for our annual maintenance visit. Mister Sparky, and it's customers, are fortunate to have the high quality of service that Carlos provides.
Duncan MacKenzie
We are so glad Chris was our service guy today. We knew that we needed a new fire alarm but did not know there were better alarms on the market. And Mr Soarky has a really good fire alarm. We bought six and had them installed. In addition, we purchased surge protectors for our three fuse boxes and both HVAC, outdoor units. It was a big bill compared to what we were anticipating but our electrical system is now fully protected. Thank you, Chris!
Tona Ryan
Webb was very nice, polite, and knowledgeable. He explained the issues and answered all my questions. I do appreciate the same day service. Price seemed high.
Anthony Favre
I highly recommend Mister Sparky. Andres and Joseph were professional, punctual, and knowledgeable, clearly explaining the work before completing it efficiently and safely. They were respectful of my home, paid close attention to detail, and cleaned up thoroughly afterward. I would absolutely use their services again and recommend them to anyone looking for quality electrical work!
Mark Scarborough
Friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. Mario and George exceeded my expectations in every way. They answered all of my questions and explained everything in easy to understand terms. I'll definitely recommend Mr. Sparky to anyone who needs electrical services.

Connie Duvall
Scottie was highly knowledgeable and focused on the issues that needed addressing. He kept us informed during our visit describing what was needed and why. He inspired confidence in his ability and that the job was being done right.
Michael Shannon
Had a main breaker box needing relocated and brought up tp code. Austin, from Sparky, said he would stay on the job until power was restored. He completed the job the same day and got power back up. Very professional and hard working.
Pamela Schmierer
Excellent customer service! It is not easy to find a company that stands behind the quality of their work. The general manager himself came out to resolve a minor issue from a previous service call, and took his time to make sure it was done right. Truly went above and beyond. I will definitely be using this company again in the future.
Frank Altobelli
Matt came on time and listened to what my concerns were. Fixed everything in a timely manner, even went out for a part came back and got the job done. Highly recommend.

Outstanding Service — We've Found Our Electrician! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Mister Sparky of Barrington and Northbrook! Jack came out to our home and was an absolute professional from start to finish. Not only did he install a new outdoor outlet, but he also took the time to address and seal up work where previous electricians had overlooked important details. What really impressed us was his thoughtful, practical advice. He offered excellent recommendations for saving energy and even suggested a solar light for the end of our driveway rather than a more expensive wired solution. He genuinely focused on what would work best for our home and our budget! He also provided a quote for upgrading our smoke and carbon monoxide alarms to a fully hardwired system. It's refreshing to work with someone who is knowledgeable, thorough, and genuinely interested in helping homeowners make smart decisions rather than simply selling additional services. Jack went above and beyond, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Mister Sparky of Barrington and Northbrook has officially earned our trust and our business. They're our electricians from now on! Highly recommend Jack and the entire Mister Sparky team!

It initially appeared that my main vanity lighting in my master bath unsuite had stopped working. One quick call to Mr. Sparky and they were able to secure loose wiring and repair the switch. The technician was prompt, courteous and knowledgeable.

Ken knew what questions to ask and should have all he needs to provide a quote. Knew what he was doing and I'm confident in him.
Michael Garcia
Great and reliable company. After an issue came up, they sent a senior technician, Joshua, to address the matter. He did a masterful job, had an excellent attitude, and made sure we were 100% satisfied with the work. Highly recommend and will use them again.
Deborah Risbrook
Akeem was very professional and personable . He explained everything that needed to be done. He is definitely an asset to your company and I would highly recommend him to others

I really appreciated that after 5pm, a local real human been promptly answered my calls that speaks English, politely and helpfully as Becka and Geny. They schedule me quickly for next morning for free quotes. They sent a text with 30 minutes advance notice to let me know the tech was on his way. The Electrician Gavin Forney arrived on time. When asked him if he had shoes covers before entering my home, surprisly he already have it handy the nicest ever and happily ready to use it. He is very kind, polite, professional, knowledgeable, and respectful. The prices quoted was fair and my options where fully explained without pushing sales speech. Gavin was very pleasant to work with, so I decide to go forward to have the job done in the same day. He already come prepared to work, and cleaned the area after done an amazing job. I would request him for future projects, and most definitely recommended him for friends and family.

Joseph was diligent with his work and installed an EV charger for me. It was a sizable job given a new panel needed to be installed as well. I am happy with the end result.
Jeffrey Sparrow
Mister Sparky is a professional company. I love their staff from our technician, Omar, to Jim that appears to be head of the central command center. Besides great work the communication between us the client and their office is stellar. We upgraded our meter to meet city code for our remodel.
Don Greca
Tyler Cox and his apprentice were absolutely outstanding. They worked until an hour after dark making sure the job was done and it was ready for us to use the next day. Tyler was efficient and hard working. He was helpful and especially adept at keeping me, the customer, informed and in the loop regarding the job at hand. My wife and I were very pleased with the manner in which these young men represented the company they work for. Based on my interaction with these gentleman I would not hesitate to use Mister Sparky again.
