Mister Sparky of Northwest Kentucky, a residential and light-commercial electrical contractor, has opened in Owensboro. Owner Kyle Wallace said the business has been a long time in the making.
The company is based at 3221 Frederica Street, Suite C, and serves Owensboro as well as communities including Henderson, Madisonville, and Morganfield.
“We started our business fairly recently, registering our business with Kentucky and Owensboro beginning in May of this year, and opened just a few weeks ago,” Wallace said. “The idea of starting a residential electrical contractor business is much older, though; we have been planning this for over a year now.”
Wallace said his path to ownership grew out of decades in the electrical trades.
“I have always been interested in entrepreneurship and owning my own business. As someone who worked for decades in the electrical trades as an electrician, electrical planner, and foreman, it was a logical route to take,” he said.
The company provides installations, repairs, maintenance, and other services for homes and light-commercial sites, Wallace said. Mister Sparky is a Generac Aligned Contractor for home generators and an Eaton Certified Contractor for panel installations. Technicians service most brands and stock breakers for multiple manufacturers, he said. Offerings also include EV charger installs, home security systems, and landscape lighting. Customers can review the full service area and schedule online, he said.
“As a new company, there are always some growing pains, especially when no one knows us or has heard of us,” Wallace said. “We have been receiving steady calls and online bookings and are filling our schedule every day. We are excited to get our name out there and get people recognizing us and recognizing the value we bring to their home.”
Wallace said the company emphasizes a 100% satisfaction guarantee and StraightForward Pricing, which shows customers the price before work begins.
“We do more here at Mister Sparky than just electrical work. We add value to customers’ homes and provide peace of mind,” he said. “With our 100% satisfaction guarantee, you can’t lose. If you aren’t completely satisfied with our work, we will make it right or refund all of your money.”
Wallace said they are proud of their StraightForward Pricing and 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
“The price you see before we begin work is the price you pay, no matter what. There are no surprise fees, no time and material charges after work is completed, and no games,” Wallace said. “If your electrical panel or main service we supply and install gives you any trouble at any time within 3 years of install, we will repair the problem free of charge. If any equipment or fixtures we supply and install fail during normal use in the first year, we will either repair or replace the item at no charge to you.”
Wallace, who spent about 20 years in mostly industrial settings and 6 years in the U.S. Navy, said the company staffs only licensed electricians who clear background and drug screenings.
“While I am new to residential work, our electricians here at Mister Sparky are not,” he said. “Our electricians are highly trained and are chosen for their personal integrity as well as their competency, because we will never put a person in your home that we wouldn’t trust in ours.”
Wallace said community engagement is part of the company’s mission. Mister Sparky has sponsored baseball teams for the coming spring season, invested in fire safety initiatives with several departments in its territory, joined the Greater Owensboro Chamber of Commerce, and created a Heroes Club that provides free club memberships to active duty, reserve, and veteran military members and to active first responders.
“I find it very rewarding to be able to give back to our community,” Wallace said. “Beyond these, we find it rewarding to provide a service to our customers that keeps their homes and families safe from electrical hazards.”
