"Fernando and Fabio came to my house bright and early. They were consummate professionals and carefully checked all my outlets, some of which had emitted sparks. They replaced a dimmer switch and a couple of other outlets. Fernando updated the switch on the electric baseboard heat in my basement. I asked him to quickly check a ceiling fan and bathroom fans which were inoperative. He gave specific info on what replacements I needed to purchase for the next time I call them to update these items. Very knowledgeable and patient young men who answered my many questions!"

This was two separate jobs. Although it is taking some time to get the generator, their guys came out in advance and installed the panel. They gave us the option of purchasing the generator in our own for quicker turn around. They were very professional, courteous and explained how everything will work once the generator arrives. Their quote was less than 1/2 what others wanted and they quoted us the most reasonable generator for what we wanted powered. Other companies only gave us the option of far more power than we needed or wanted & far more work on our panel.

We also had an entire room with no electricity (we just the purchased home, it was not a thrown breaker) and a handful of new light fixtures and switches to install. Obviously, the room issue could have been a big or little problem. One company gave us a flat fee estimate of $2,000 to diagnose and fix the problem + additional fees for the other installations. Conte gave us a quote with minor fees for the install work and simply "Time & Material" for the room. It took Joe 30 minutes to find and fix the problem @ less than $100 an hour.

They are a busy group, so it took some time for our work. But they are very reasonably priced compared to others and honest!

"I had an emergency service need: the electric cable providing power to my home detached from the outside of my house during a wind storm. Pat Tapia, the owner of B-Dyson Electric, came the very next morning to assess the damage and review what needed to be done to install/re-attach the cable according to code so that my electric company could restore power by that evening. He explained what needed to be done and acted quickly to get the "emergency" electrical work permit from the County as well as getting the necessary equipment (which thankfully was in stock), to do the job. He answered all of my questions and kept me informed every step of the way. He and his crew were friendly and top notch professionals who completed the job by late afternoon so my power could be restored that night. I was and am truly grateful for the speed and professional installation that Pat and his crew performed, including clean up of items to be discarded. The bill was within in the amount I had hoped it would be -- especially based on the amount of work that needed to be done in a short amount of time. I highly recommend B-Dyson Electric for all of your projects that require a company with experienced, skilled and knowledgeable electricians."

"It went Super Well😃😊☺️😊😇🙂😉😇😄 Before he came to my house he asked to see photos of the electrical problem. I text them and he immediately sent me an estimated price with a maximum cap for the projected job! So, I decided to hire him and I’m so glad I did. ☺️😄😀😃😌😄😄😃😀😇😄🙂😊😃😇 I thought his price was quite reasonable compared to what Home Depot’s electrical service men were asking. When he came to my house and ran some tests and opened the old electrical mount I was able to see the cause of the flickering lights. Then, he gave me an estimated cost of the new Flushmount, and quickly left and return within a half an hour with a receipt and installed it. He work efficiently and proficiently!! He was punctual, courteous, experienced and very dedicated to completing his electrical task. And when he’s done he will explain and show you how the new dimmer switch works. He even brought his own ladder with him. I will definitely use his service again when needing electrical repairs!!"

"KEN, from Advanced Electric, did an excellent job. The cost to do the job was very reasonable. He arrived on time and kept us informed every step of the way. He upgraded our outdated electrical panels and circuit breakers doing all work to code, correcting wiring issues found along the way. I will definitely hire Advanced Electric again for any of our electrical needs."

FAQs for electrical service projects in Pound Ridge, NY

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.
