"The company completed the project to my satisfaction and for the agreed-upon price. The work involved removing a blown TV and bracket, along with five Klipsch wall baffle speakers. They then installed a new 65" TV on a pull-out fireplace bracket, four regular speakers, and a new amp/subwoofer. ​I was impressed by how they handled the structural adjustments. Since the new center speaker was longer than the original, the technicians expanded the wall cavity, smoothed the studs, and installed a 2x4 board for support. They were transparent about the need for drywall repair afterward and even referred me to a vendor who completed that work at a discount. All components tested well upon completion, and the team was thoughtful enough to pack my old speakers into the new boxes. Based on this experience, I highly recommend their services."

"Hired them to install a lock-out kit on my circuit breaker panel, an outside outlet to connect my generator, and a power-back alarm. The owner, Chris, arrived on time to do the quote and was very clear and helpful. The installers also were prompt, did an excellent installation, simulated a power outage, and showed my how to switch the whole house over to the generator. "

"Outstanding Service from Technicians Dennis and David, Haas and Sons Electric!!! We hired Haas and Sons Electric at 8:30am on 12/15/25. They responded, scheduled and completed the work before 2PM the same day. Haas and Sons Electric addressed a wiring issue related to the doorbell / security camera. Dennis and David were exceptional! They called while enroute and arrived promptly as scheduled for the appointment. They immediately demonstrated high levels of professionalism and knowledge about our electrical issue: Dennis answered all our questions and patiently walked us through their diagnostic process. He also clearly explained the factors related to the wiring connection between the doorbell wiring by the builder (of the home) and the security camera equipment installation related to the root cause of the issue. The quality of work was superb. David replaced the doorbell system and all its necessary equipment components efficiently and ensured all new wiring was up to code, meticulously cleaning the work areas afterward. We appreciated their honest approach and made recommendations for future maintenance without any sales pressure. We are extremely satisfied with the results and will use Haas and Sons Electric for all future electrical needs. In my entire community, Haas and Sons Electric are highly recommended for their expertise, integrity, and excellent customer service."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Arnold, MD

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.
