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 Even newly-remodeled homes might have neglected electrical systems with aging components, outdated design, and other problems that range from inconvenient to dangerous.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Outdated wiring is one of the most common problems found in older homes.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 called on a late Friday afternoon because part of our lights and electrical outlets would not work in our basement. They told us not to worry that they could have someone at your house between 8:30 and 12:00 on Saturday. Our Technician Payton text me at 10:40 on Saturday to let me know that he was on his way. When he got here, he was extremely friendly and asked...show me what problem you are having. He explained to me what he was doing, and he was diagnosing the electrical outlets and the breaker box. He explained that we had a bad neutral line somewhere and told us not a problem that he could fix it. He replaced all the electrical outlets and connectors. On the last one he had myself and my wife come into the basement and showed us on the last plug that three of the neutral wires were burnt, melted together and even the connector was black from being burnt. He resolved our problem. The entire time he was here he was very friendly and informative on what he was doing. My wife and I have owned our own business for 19 years and we know what it means to have great employees! Payton as we feel is a great asset to your company! We even went ahead and scheduled an appointment for Payton to come back and replace 2 breakers in the breaker box. We would like to thank Payton and the company for the great service!!

Daniel from the Louisville Ky location was sent to our home. He was on time and professional with a great attitude. Quoted the job (which we accepted) and had us booked for the following week. They installed a new breaker panel for us. They are clean, professional, timely, and very dependable! Highly recommended!
Michelle Murr
They were able to come out the same day as my call. The electrician was courteous and polite, explained the possible issues I could have faced, and delt directly with the electrical company to help deal with the current issues. I will highly recommend them and will definitely use them again if needed.
Amanda Knee
Scheduling was super easy. Jason came out right on time and did a really great job! He was very thorough, knowledgeable and friendly. He used a small vacume to completely clean up when he was finished, as well. That was appreciated! I would highly recommend based on my interaction with him. Thank you!!
Scott
Mister Sparky surprised me when I called to schedule an appointment and got same day service. Our technician, Tyler, was prompt, friendly and explained everything throughout the process. He identified the problem with our clothes dryer power receptacle quickly. He had to leave to retrieve the replacement part but the work was still finished promptly, within an hour from his initial arrival to completion.
