"Chris and his assistant showed up on time and were very professional.  Chris walked around the house with me so I could show him what I needed done and he was very accommodating even making some suggestions of his own.  They used drop cloths everywhere they worked so they wouldn't scratch the floors and even asked me about how low I wanted the chandelier to hang. They got up on a very high ladder to change it.  It looks great! One of my patio lights was broken when they took it out of the box so they couldn't install it, but once I have it fixed Chris just told me to call him and he would come back and install it for me. We also had a couple of questions concerning some other plugs in the house and he was very nice about answering our questions.  I purchased the offer he had for $649.00 and it was well worth it.  I also feel better knowing that my lighting was installed by a professional.  I would highly recommend Chris for all electrical jobs.

Customers say: Quick response

"I pretty much never post reviews but had to this time. We installed an above ground pool and I needed an outlet installed. I reached out and they came out on time. The entire team is amazing and I ended up having them do the backyard wiring, yard spotlight, wiring and installation of planter lights around the property and installed a dedicated circuit for the pool itself. The All Quality Electrical Team is really amazing. Their office staff is on top of it and responds very quickly when emailed. The Electricians that came out were all polite, professional, understanding, detail oriented and were all about our being satisfied. I mentioned our just being laid off do to the Virus and they added a discount to help us out. As far as we are concerned All Quality will be the only Electrician we work with moving forward and I will refer them whenever possible."

Small jobs welcome

"El Electric sent 2 very honest electricians on 5/30/17. They finished the job in the hour I had purchased through Angie's List due to Javier's creativity of rewiring the fuse box instead of replacing the fuse (which would have cost me more money). They even had time to replace the master bath outlet with a GFI outlet. I was so impressed that I hired El Electric on 7/13/17 to add a new circuit to the kitchen. Javier's rewiring creativity again saved me electrician time and money, so I highly recommend El Electric."

"Electricity was needed for a new control panel for my backyard sprinklers, and I needed a couple of light fixtures replaced in my house. The gentleman showed up on-time and quickly took care of everything in three hours, which included making a run to the hardware store for a part. The price was very reasonable since I used the promotion on Angie's List. Moving forward, they will be the first people I call for electrical work."

"I hired Mitch to run power from my electrical box to an outdoor solarium. It required digging to hide the wiring under my artificial turf, running it through the yard , then into the structure. Mitch did the job perfectly. The yard looked untouched, running the power into the structure was also perfect. He did the job in exactly the time he said he would. He’s the best electrician I’ve had since we moved into our house. Don’t hesitate to call him!!"

FAQs for electrical service projects in West Hills, CA

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.
