"Jesse and his trainee did an incredible job installing our indoor lighting. They were efficient, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. My daughter is forever grateful to them for having lighting in her room and I can enjoy having good lighting in my kitchen area. We would not hesitate to recommend them to other people and will definitely be using them for future work!"

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

"Jason was at our house a half hour after we called. He took the smoke detector down, and we all realized that the beeping noise was NOT coming from it. Jason then spent the next hour helping us locate the source of the noise - turned it it was coming from the dishwasher, which was already off...very strange. In any case, we are able to sleep tonight, and after all the time Jason put into this, he DID NOT CHARGE US ANYTHING!!!! We have used Quynnlectric before, and they have always done a great job - and we will use them any time we need electrical work done!!!!"

"Lou was terrific! He called ahead, arrived on time, and did a great job communicating while he was here. He wore shoe covers in the house - and a mask (this is COVID times) - and was even kind enough to hang out for a minute at the door while I trained my puppy to calm down when people enter the house. He did top notch work - found the arcing wires behind the outlet (yikes!) that were causing the problem, and cleaned up all of the wiring to make it code compliant and replaced the receptacles. They are our new go-to electricians going forward!"

"Not very happy with them. They installed a new Lennox last year and sent up their "best" installers. They showed up late, left a huge mess both inside and outside of my house, but worst of all, they didn't bother to check the gas supply line. I didn't notice that there was a gas leak until the next day (a Saturday) and by then, my entire basement was full of gas fumes. I turned off the supply line and then called them and left an emergency message about the leak, but they didn't show up until the following Monday. When the new technician showed up on Monday, he was shocked at the shoddy workmanship that the techs and had to completely replace the supply line. He assured me that the two techs that did the installation were "chewed out" by their manager. One year later, I had a duct cleaning company come out and noticed that the exhaust pipe was screwed into plenum access, so now I have two holes in my plenum. Unfortunately, there are no other furnace contractors that will service Lennox furnaces up in the mountains, so I have to use their overpriced service to have my annual servicing. I'd think twice about using these guys for any new install."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Aurora, CO

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.
