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 Even newly-remodeled homes might have neglected electrical systems with aging components, outdated design, and other problems that range from inconvenient to dangerous.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Outdated wiring is one of the most common problems found in older homes.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 got a detailed estimate of the work that will be done. I also got an estimate of work that will be done at a later date. The technician Kyle was very informative and asked several times if I had any questions. I feel confident with everything and will be moving forward. Kyle was out again today to perform some of the work. He did an amazing job. Everything was wonderful. He cleaned up after him self and took the trash. Kyle was very informative and paid attention to detail. Not to mention very polite. Thank you Kyle for an excellent job. I will see you soon

Kyle is an excellent technician. He’s extremely friendly, knowledgeable and skillful - and quite a good salesman. He notified us when he was on his way and he arrived exactly on time. He completed all of the work in one visit. Couldn’t be more pleased.

Mike did an excellent job of explaining the reason why I need a new fuse box. He was extremely polite and professional. I need a couple of days to consider my options and he used no pressure tactics except to remind me not to hire a handyman for this kind of job.

Kyle contacted me this afternoon in regards to my request for information for a possible home generator system added to the house. Upon contact, he was very professional and knowledgeable took care of a long list of questions I had in regards to a Generac home generator system. He listened to what my idea was with up dating my landscaping and working the generator into my plans. Once I express what my ideas were, he was able to assist me with what the requirements were to have the generator located specific measurements locations where it is required by law, which is very helpful. He gave me options to consider. He was very easy to talk to being. I had no knowledge of what I was talking about, I now have an educated plan that I could work with after the way he advised me. Kyle is super helpful. He made it simple that I could understand what all my options were. In the past, I’ve worked in the service industry and you’re fortunate. You have a dedicated bright young man with your company. Looking forward to working with you guys in the future. Thank you. Dean Monti .
