Mister Sparky Electric

Services

The Authority Brands Electrician

Mister Sparky is the electrical brand in the Authority Brands family, alongside Benjamin Franklin Plumbing and One Hour Heating and Air Conditioning. Same on-time guarantee: if the electrician is late, you don’t pay. 100+ locations across the US.

Core Services

Panel upgrades, circuit breaker replacement, whole-house rewiring, outlet installation, lighting design, generator installation, and surge protection. Trucks come stocked with common parts so most repairs finish in one visit.

Panel Upgrades: Their Bread and Butter

A lot of American homes still run on 100-amp panels that were fine in 1985 but can’t keep up with modern electrical loads — EV chargers, home offices, smart home systems, multiple large appliances. Mister Sparky assesses your current capacity, calculates your actual load, and recommends the right upgrade. They handle permits, inspections, and utility coordination.

Generator Installation

Whole-house standby generators from Generac, Kohler, and Briggs and Stratton. The install includes a transfer switch, gas line connection, concrete pad, and programming. They also offer annual maintenance plans so the generator actually works when the power goes out (generators that sit untested for years are notorious for failing when needed).

Pricing

Upfront, flat-rate pricing from a standardized price book covering thousands of tasks. Financing available for bigger projects. Their Mister Sparky Club membership gets you annual electrical inspections, priority service, and discounts.

Quality Follow-Up

Every job includes a workmanship guarantee and a follow-up quality check within 48 hours.

Mister Sparky vs. Mr. Electric

Both are national electrical franchises with similar service menus and price points. The differences are network-level: Mister Sparky connects you to Benjamin Franklin (plumbing) and One Hour (HVAC) through Authority Brands. Mr. Electric connects you to Mr. Rooter (plumbing) and Aire Serv (HVAC) through Neighborly. Pick based on which ecosystem you’re already in, or whichever has better reviews in your specific area. The service quality at the individual location level matters more than the brand on the truck.
