Mr. Electric is a national electrical services franchise company. Its franchisees specialize in the residential and commercial markets. Mr. Electric was founded in 1994 and has been franchising since that time. In March 2007, franchises were also offered under the name Sunburst Electric in geographic areas where the Mr. Electric name is unavailable. (The franchises are the same in all aspects other than the trade name, advertising and amount of advertising nationally. Services offered by Mr. Electric franchisees include:
- Residential electrical repairs and service
- Generators installs and service
- Commercial lighting and lighting retrofit
- Commercial contracting services
- Residential outdoor lighting
- Holiday lighting installation and removal
- Low voltage systems
- Electric vehicle car charging installs
Recently, The Home Depot named Mr. Electric as its national home services vendor for residential electrical work. Mr. Electric franchisees are recommended to the customers of The Home Depot for all electrical installations, services, outdoor lighting services and any other electrical service that could be required by customers. The support from the World Headquarters includes on-going support after the initial one-week intensive training at the home office by way of Franchise Consultants who visit franchisee locations to help both office and field personnel with continual polishing of their relationship building and business skill sets. Mr. Electric also offers a true marketing department as well as a public relations team that will help franchisees to continue to grow in their markets. We do not own or operate any franchises. As of December 31, 2014, we had 148 franchises in the United States and Canada.

Territory check best practices:
- If you’re focused on a single Neighborly brand (ex. Mr. Electric), submit the check for that brand through IFPG. If it’s available, a Mr. Electric developer will reach out to you.
- If Mr. Electric is sold out, someone from our Broker Relations department will reach out with a list of other Neighborly brands available in your requested area.
- If you’re wondering about all Neighborly brands in a specific area, you may send your territory check directly to Broker Relations at territorycheck@nbly.com. A specialist will let you know every franchise opportunity with white space in your requested area.
- Submit zip code (especially for major metros) rather than the city name.
- Include client’s name so we can keep it in our records in case there are any registration questions in the future.
