Mister Sparky Electrician Lowell

$458 dollars to replace 5 light switches. Absolutely ridiculous, quoted me another $500 to fix the ceiling light I originally called them about. Told them to get out and called a handy man instead Paid him $60 two hours later and my light was fixed. NEVER AGAIN, absolute scam.

Called Mister Sparky out to my place to check on an outlet in the laundry room, at the suggestion of my plumber. They gave 3 quotes: $9800, $6500, and $1300. It seems strange that their course of action would be so different… $1300 versus $9800? I got two competitive quotes and both other electricians said there was no problem to begin with. Definitely felt like I was being scammed by Mister Sparky.

This company will not return calls. My 90yo mother called Mister sparky to replace a couple GFCI receptacles that were bad. (I had her test them while I was on the phone, 2 didn't reset, unfortunately I live almost 6 hours away so not able to just pop over and replace these $20/piece GFCI receptacles). She called on a Monday morning and a technician was there around 10am. He replaced 3 GFCI receptacles and also 3 af breakers. Done a little after noon so a little over 2 hours work plus parts. Af breakers are around $35 each while GFCI receptacles are $20 each and less. Total parts would be let's say $175-$200 to be generous. So I talk to my 90 year old mother with a little bit of dementia going on the next day and ask her how the electrician went and how much did they charge. She told me everything went fine, her electric is working again and that her bill was $1588. I was floored! This guy charged by the device, $200+ for each GFCI times 3, $300+ for each breaker times 3. Now maybe I'm not up with the times as to how electrical repair shops charge everywhere but from where I live $120 an hour is on the high end plus a $50-75 call charge. This guy made $1300 or $650 an hour off of my 90yo mother. I call that preying on old people, call it what you will, it's totally taking advantage of someone who doesn't know any better. I should have had her call me when the guy was there and tell him to take a hike when he told her how much it would be but I figured that any reputable electrician would charge her maybe a couple hundred bucks to swap out a few gfci's. I'm not sure exactly why he replaced the breakers, maybe a code thing to bring box up to new code idk for sure. Either way, Mister Sparky would not return my calls after leaving my number with the secretary several times to have the electrician call me to go over the bill. Web search shows this company is screwing everybody around the states they are in with super high prices. Avoid at all costs!!!

Great company. Friendly staff. Good service. Fair prices.
