"I am beyond impressed with the electrical work done by American Electrical Solutions LLC From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough, their professionalism and expertise were evident. Alexis arrived on time, listened carefully to my needs, and provided a clear, detailed estimate. The work was completed efficiently and with meticulous attention to detail. American Electrical Solutions LLC not only resolved the original issue he also installed a new lighting fixture, outlets, Ac mini split 240v, but also identified and addressed potential safety concerns that I was unaware of. What truly stood out was Alexis commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction. Alexis took the time to explain every step of the process, answered all my questions thoroughly, and left the work area cleaner than it was found. I highly recommend American Electrical Solutions LLC for any electrical needs. Their knowledge, reliability, and dedication to excellence are truly commendable."

"Our old A/C unit had quit working, so we knew we needed to get a new one before summer heat hit. We actually went to Home Depot where they sent Fernando over, since Comstock installs for Home Depot. Fernando took a lot of time to check the house, and then explain everything in detail to us. He explained the different units available for our house, and the pros and cons of all of them. We decided on the Trane heat pump. Wow...what an amazing difference it makes in the house and it is so quiet we don't even know when it's running. Now we know..this is the secret to living in Yuma through the summer!"

"Raul Reyes with RM Plumbing and Electrical LLC is the real deal! He has proven to be honest, trustworthy and resourceful. Raul does quality work at an affordable price! He has help correct subpar work done by pseudo-contractors/handymen. Raul Reyes is an up an coming star in the renovation/remodeling arena! He is definitely far removed from the recommended good old boy con artists plaguing this community."
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
