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 Even newly-remodeled homes might have neglected electrical systems with aging components, outdated design, and other problems that range from inconvenient to dangerous.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Outdated wiring is one of the most common problems found in older homes.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

I've had Mr. Sparky do a good bit of exterior work for me - including laying 60 feet of buried service line to my main panel. The main things I will say is that the finished product has always been of the highest quality and all of the employees have been a pleasure to work with. In all of my experiences, the teams have been knowledgeable, they get to work fast, are happy to explain details and offer advice and yes, they will even help you think through your prices and some packaged deals that earn a discount. On that last point, I do feel that Mr. Sparky will not be your cheapest option, but again, the quality is fantastic and a licensed electrician and warrantied work is just expensive any way you look at it. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my experience with Mr. Sparky and would use them again and recommend them to others.

I had a fantastic experience with Mr. Sparky Electrical Services here in Houston. From the moment I called, their team was responsive, professional, and courteous. The technician Thomas arrived right on time, explained everything clearly, and completed the work efficiently and neatly. I really appreciated how respectful they were of my home and how they made sure everything was cleaned up afterward. It's rare to find a company that combines quality work with great customer service, but Mr. Sparky absolutely delivered. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again and highly recommend them for any electrical needs.

I contacted Mr. Sparky after previously contacting another reputable electric company who could not solve my problem. David found the root of my electrical problem in no time and did a thorough job. I highly recommend him! He’s very personable!

Joshua did an amazing job diagnosing and fixing an electrical issue we were having. Came out and got it fixed the same day we called. The company’s communication was fantastic and very transparent with pricing. Overall, great experience and highly recommend.

I contacted Mr. Sparky on Friday and was set up with an appointment on Monday. There were email and text messages to confirm the Appointment and contact from the owner. I was called when the technician was on the way. Christian did an excellent job of inspecting our equipment and we talked through all of our options. He was polite and very thorough. I was impressed with Mr. Sparky and Christian in particular.
