At Mister Sparky®, we never recommend making your home’s electrical issues or needs a DIY weekend project. While we’d like to say that this is an attempt to make you call us, it’s because working on electrical systems is dangerous and requires extensive training. Because of the training electricians require to work safely, it can take years for an electrician to receive a license to do work on their own. If it takes an apprentice electrician hundreds of hours of classes and thousands of hours of on-the-job training, electrical work should never be a weekend project!
Homeowners should regularly check their electrical components for safety between maintenance visits from a Mister Sparky® electrician. Doing this will help identify small problems before they become major electrical issues. If you believe you have a problem, it’s time to call your local Mister Sparky® for help.
The National Fire Prevention Association provides a useful checklist for homeowners concerned about electrical safety. Following this list is a great way to minimize the risk of an electrical emergency in your home or business. While this safety checklist is important, be certain never to touch your home’s wires. If you cannot see a wire for inspection, it’s best to call Mister Sparky® for help as soon as possible.
The NFPA recommends calling an electrician or your landlord immediately if:
Electrical wires weave their way throughout our homes. Checking each one for exposed wiring, melting, fraying, cracking, or other forms of wear can help prevent a fire. If you identify a damaged cord or wire, call a professional to have it repaired. Older electrical systems are prone to having failing wires, so be certain to examine all wires in your home thoroughly.
Additionally, be certain that electrical cords are not running across doorways or under carpets. An electrical professional can help you solve this issue by installing more outlets throughout your home.
Next, check to make sure that your outlets are operating safely. Never place more than one plug into an outlet’s receptacle. Additionally, ensure that an outlet’s wiring is properly covered to avoid electric shock or burns.
Avoid mismatching a light bulb’s wattage to a lamp’s wattage. If a light bulb has a maximum wattage of 60, only use it in lamps of that power or lower. Additionally, light bulbs should always be covered by a shade or globe. As bulbs become hot during use, they should be covered to prevent something from contacting them and catching fire.
Ensure that your appliances are approved for safety by a reputable lab. When using multiple appliances, make sure that only one is plugged into an outlet at a time. Because they draw a lot of electricity, having multiple appliances using one outlet can cause wires to overheat. If lights dim while using an appliance, stop using it immediately, and contact an electrician. Dimming lights can be a sign of overheating or failing wires.
There are two types of fault circuit interrupters that homes should have. First, ground-fault circuit interrupters are designed to reduce the risk of shock by shutting off an electrical circuit when needed. Kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, garages, and outdoor areas should have GFCIs.
Next, a home should have an arc-fault circuit interrupter. An AFCI helps prevent fires by monitoring the electrical current in a home and shutting off a circuit when unintentional arcing occurs.
While this safety checklist is a great way to identify or prevent issues, calling an electrician is crucial if you suspect your electrical systems need work. At Mister Sparky®, we have locations throughout the nation ready to provide the fast and reliable electrical work you deserve. All our locations are locally owned and operated, so our teams know common electrical problems facing homes in your area!

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.

Robert is the man. Everything went great. Added a new 20 amp branch circuit to our garage. Replaced EMT conduit on the outside of the house to the garage to heavy wall. Also, pulled wiring for future heat pump to condition the garage

Logan was absolutely wonderful and not pushy at all. He did wonderful installing the new lights, and fixing our GFCI issues while staying in budget. It’s good to know we won’t be having any electrical fires anytime soon from our diys 🤣
Lauren Bohn
We had a wonderful experience with Mister Sparky! Tim ran new electrical wiring & a switch for two sconces in our media room where there weren’t any existing hookups, and we’re so happy with the results. They were very kind and friendly, checking with me multiple times throughout the project to make sure everything was exactly how I wanted it. I really appreciated the care they took to minimize damage to the room, and they cleaned up after themselves when they finished. They did a great job, and we would happily recommend them!
Jill Fife
Johnny was absolutely the nicest person to work with!! Friendly & very considerate & respectful. He fixed our problem in less than an hour. Great company to work with & we will be telling our Landlord to use them again in the future if anything else should happen. Thanks again!! Jill

Zach and Cameron were amazing! They were so polite and respectful of our property. They explained what they were doing and asked if I had questions which I appreciated and got power back on for me to continue working. I would definitely recommend both Zach and Cameron for any job you need done.
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!
HARLEM NY

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.
Peggy Wheatley
Everyone was extremely polite and took extra minute to ease my dogs excitement. They were quick with their tasks and cleaned up after themselves. Bradley was very patient in all explanations and I didnt feel any pressure
Talitha Ashby
Juwuan was very professional and extremely knowledgeable. He identified several areas that were improperly installed from a previous electrician. He was thorough and courteous and my issue has completely resolved. I am very pleased with his work and will use this company again.
Ryan Plummer
Mohamed came out to do an estimate for me. He was the most thorough, informative contractor I have had in my house for a long time. He told me what I didn't need, instead of sneaking more items on the estimate, presented 2 different solutions I hadn't considered (both of which we are going with), and did impressive investigation into my concerns to ensure that he had a detailed product to hand off to his team. I am confident the finished product I get will ensure the safety of my house and the effectiveness of my electrical system.
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

Summer Aranguren
I was put at ease by Matthew in what could have been a dangerous situation. His knowledge and expertise impressed me. He explained in elementary terms how my situation came about and how to rectify it. He did not try to up sell me, but he made sure my home was safe before he left.
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.
Henry Levenstein
We used them to install a 60-foot power line for our new electric pool heater, including a trench for the line, and a new load shed module. All work was timely and professional. Everything passed inspections with no issues. Our thanks to Jackie in the office, Ryan the electrician, and Dan, the owner, for their fine work. They also are well respected by the town inspectors. Not everyone is.
