Mister Sparky

Mister Sparky is the Woburn-based Greater Boston North location of the national Mister Sparky electrical franchise, part of the Authority Brands network. Homeowners call this crew for the full range of household electrical work — EV charger hookups, ceiling fan and chandelier swaps, outlet and wiring repairs, and carbon monoxide detector replacements. What stands out across forty 2026 reviews is consistency: a 4.9★ average on Google (44 ratings), matched by 4.9★ on Thumbtack and 5.0★ on HomeAdvisor. The same names keep coming up — Shavo, Dave, Travis and Ben — described as showing up on time, explaining the work before starting it, and cleaning up after. One reviewer called about a flickering-lights emergency and had the outlet issue diagnosed and fixed within 45 minutes. Another recounted the crew catching dangerous wiring in a basement light fixture while working on something else entirely and disconnecting it on the spot — the kind of catch a homeowner wants from an electrician, not just the job they called about. The work runs from small (a single outlet, a CO detector swap) to more involved — installing four fan-rated boxes and ceiling fans in one visit, then coming back to remove a chandelier hung 21 feet up. EV charger installs come up often enough to be a specialty rather than a one-off: reviewers describe the process as smooth and the pricing as competitive against other quotes they'd gathered. Worth knowing before booking: one 2026 review described a less smooth experience — a promised Monday outlet installation that instead required a permit and came back with a $1,500 quote, a mismatch between what was promised on the phone and what showed up at the door. It's the only negative account on hand, but it's a reminder to get scope and permit requirements nailed down before scheduling anything time-sensitive. For straightforward electrical work — an emergency call, a new fixture, an EV charger — the reviews suggest a responsive, communicative crew that explains what it's doing and tends to catch things a less careful electrician might miss. If the job needs a permit or touches something unusual, it's worth asking upfront what that adds to the timeline and the price.
