"I had tile laid in the house and when they removed the stove the tile guys noticed that the stove outlet was on the floor behind the stove. Wires were exposed and the outlet box looked like it had been sparking. I contacted Bill thru Home Advisors and within 5 minutes he called me back and I had an appointment the following day. The appointment was set between 930AM & 1130AM I got the call just before 930AM they were headed my way. Gilbert the technician and his "sidekick" came in looked it over and said they could do the job right then. They installed the outlet in the wall like it should have been in the first place, the outlet itself was broken so Gilbert ran out to get a new one while the other technician kept working. Gilbert got back with the new outlet and it was finished up perfectly. Both guys were extremely nice, worked fast, and the price was very reasonable. I have some other small electrical projects to get done around here and I will be calling Bill Richards Electric again ---"

I had to look no further, from electrical rewiring, to ceiling fans and each of my rooms Joshua got the job done to perfection! I’m very satisfied with the work that was provided by Promised Land Electric and I will definitely call for any other electrical problems I encounter in the future. Joshua was very professional and knowledgeable as well as friendly and courteous. I look forward to the next time I require his services."

"Although they never showed up on the original scheduled date, when the owner of the company found out about this issue he quickly contacted me and sent out one of his crew to my house to perform an inspection. The backstory is that I had my system installed by a company out of Phoenix (Baker Solar) and for about 4 months I was unable to reach them to service my system. After such a long time with no response and giving up on the company completely I decided to reach out to a local Tucson based company and I found Arizona Southwest Solar and Electric, LLC. They were able to quickly verify that the system was in good working order. Luckily they did not need to do any additional work. Apparently Baker solar had come out to my place and performed a repair one week before I had called Arizona Southwest Solar and Electric, LLC to come out to my house. Overall I feel that Arizona Southwest Solar was trustworthy and is who I will contact in the future if there is any new work that my system needs."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Amado, AZ

There is often some confusion about the type of work these professionals do. They only work on electrical systems such as outlets, lighting fixtures and electrical panels – they aren’t appliance repairmen.

There are three types of electricians: Master, Journeyman and Apprentice. Electrical licensing varies quite a bit by state. Some have licenses for apprentices and some do not. Some have a master’s rank while others stop at journeyman. Despite the differences, they all require a minimum amount of experience and usually classroom time.

  • Apprentice electricians aren’t usually licensed and spend 4 years learning the trade. Throughout that time, they work on a wide range of projects to learn to become a Journeyman. They’ll do basic work like installing fixtures and replacing outlets all the way to assisting in wiring a home. Regardless of the type of project, they must always be supervised by a Journeyman or Master electrician.

  • Journeymen work without supervision. In a few states, this is the highest level available and they can do all levels of work from wiring a new home to installing a light. In some states, they need a separate electrical contractor license to run a business. In places with a master’s level, a journeyman can do all work besides design new electrical systems.

  • Master electricians usually manage a shop, design new electrical systems in new construction and oversee both Journeyman and Apprentices. They typically bid new projects. Though they focus on larger projects, it’s not unheard of for a homeowner to request a Master Electrician for a house call. If you do, expect to spend up to 25% more for the visit.

Generally, you don’t tip electricians, but that’s not to say they don’t appreciate it if you do. You can offer them something to drink or eat, like coffee and donuts. Most will appreciate it if you do.

The education and certifications required to become an electrician vary by state, though they generally follow this list:

  1. Apprentice

    • Does not always require a license depending on the state.

    • Learns on the job under Journeyman and Master Electricians.

    • Usually needs 4 years on-the-job training before they can test for a Journeyman license. Many states also require a technical degree to advance.

    • Always require supervision.

  2. Journeyman

    • Needs between 8,000 to 10,000 hours of on-the-job training and usually 500 to 1,000 hours of classroom experience.

    • Can usually supervise apprentices.

    • They can diagnose and repair electrical problems.

  3. Master

    • Achieved after an additional two years (4,000 hours) working as a Journeyman and taking the Master Electrician Exam.

    • Besides diagnosing and repairing electrical systems, they also design them. In most places they run shops and inspect Journeyman and Apprentice work.

    • Not a recognized rank in all states.

  4. Electrical Contractor License is an optional license in some states for a Master Electrician to run a business. Some states have this instead of the Master license.

Electricians make an average of $26 per hour but it ranges with experience and licensing. An apprentice may make about half that while a Master Electrician may hit closer to $40 per hour. This figure represents how much they make; not how much they bill. Their salary is only one component of their costs. They must also figure in overhead, taxes, equipment, insurance and several other expenses.

Leave electrical work to the professionals. Electrical systems are complex and potentially hazardous when not handled and installed correctly. If it were easy, it wouldn’t take 4 years to become a journeyman or 6 years for a master’s license. If you are determined to forge ahead yourself, understand home electrical safety before beginning any project.Even for simple common electrical projects, a licensed pro is best. Not only is it safer, but contractors guarantee and insure their work. Hire a professional to keep your home’s electrical systems functioning properly and safely.
