"I called Mr. Sparky because I had 2 external outlets and 1 internal outlet not working (I found out later they were on teh same circuit. After setting up an appointment, Cody O. was dispatched to my home. He introduced himself and explained he would be looking at the outlets I called about and doing an evaluation to determine what, if any, other electrical needs my home had. He looked at the outside outlets and the garage outlets (but didn't test them, which I thought was odd) and explained they were on the same circuit. He looked at the breaker panel and the outlet beneath it. He asked about the smoke detectors and other electrical appliances in my home and wrote up 3 quotes. Each quote included enrollment in their maintenance plan and a varying number of electrical upgrades. The costs started At $4000 for all the bells and whistles to $2500 for about half the bells and whistles to $835 for just the outlet upgrades and the maintenance plan. I told him I would need to discuss it with my wife because we were not planning on that large an expense at this time. He encouraged me to call him that evening to get the repair scheduled since I needed the outlets fixed quickly. He then charged me the $75 service fee for coming by. After he left I spoke to a friend who recommended a master electrician in the area who came by looked at the outlets and tested them, checked the same panel and outlet beneath it in the basement but when he looked at the outlet, he noticed the GFCI had tripped and pushed it in restoring power to the 3 outlets in question! He was in and out of my home in 15 minutes and had solved the problem whereas Cody was there for an hour and was so busy trying to upsell me, he couldn't be bothered to fix the actual issue. I spoke to a manager a few days later and expressed my displeasure and he understood my frustration and refunded my service fee. He also offered to come by himself and make the upgrades himself at a discounted rate for my inconvenience! I appreciate the attempt to make things right when service didn't meet the expectations. I may give them another shot some other time."

Electrical wiring or panel upgrades FAQs
A whole-house surge protector blocks voltage spikes from lightning, grid issues, or even large appliances before they can fry your wiring or electronics. By diverting excess current at the main panel, it shields everything from your HVAC to your phone chargers and can extend the life of pricey appliances. Homeowners in storm-prone regions or with older panels see the biggest payoff, but any home that relies on sensitive electronics benefits.
Most whole-house surge protectors work for two to three years. Low-level spikes—too small to notice—hit your panel every day and slowly wear down the internal components. Once the unit’s capacity is depleted, it can’t prevent a larger surge, so plan to replace it on schedule (or sooner if a major lightning strike occurs) to keep your electronics and HVAC equipment safe.
A surge protector begins guarding your circuits the moment an electrician snaps it into place. Whether the spike originates from a nearby lightning strike or your fridge kicking on, the protector shunts the extra current to ground before it can reach outlets or hard-wired systems, such as your AC. That instant response is why a small upfront cost can save thousands in appliance repairs.
The unit mounts on or next to your main electrical panel. Type 1 models sit on the supply side, catching outside spikes before they hit the breaker. Type 2 devices snap inside the panel and tame surges that start within the house. Either way, placement at the panel lets the protector guard every circuit at once.
Plan to swap the device every three to five years—or sooner if you upgrade your panel, add high-demand appliances, or notice flickering lights and tripped breakers. Relying on a maze of power strips is another red flag that your current setup isn’t keeping up. Replacing the surge protector at these milestones keeps your electrical system on safe footing.
