"One Stop Electric is excellent. We called them to find some electrical problems that have plagued our business for months. We were afraid that it would be too expensive to fix. Nick came out and troubleshot all of our problems. He made a safety fix, on the spot, on a dangerous overheated electrical box and in one hour diagnosed all of our issues and gave us an estimate that we could afford and it was unbelievably reasonable for all of the work and materials it included. They came the next morning and worked non stop for four hours until everything was done. They protected all of our possessions while working, and were experienced, professional, efficient, knowledgeable, and meticulous. They are also thoughtful, generous, and kind. Today the stress and anxiety worrying about what might go wrong is gone and now we have the peace of mind that if something goes wrong in the future, we have someone to call. They are good people. They are the company that you hope to get when you make that "

"I had a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed for home Tesla charging, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience from Murphy Family Electric. From start to finish, everything was smooth, professional, and exactly what you hope for when hiring an electrician. Ted was the one who handled the installation, and he was outstanding. He showed up right on time, was incredibly friendly, and took the time to walk me through everything. He answered all my questions, shared helpful insights about the setup, and made sure I felt confident using it before he left. The quality of the work was excellent, and you can tell he takes real pride in what he does. It’s not always easy to find someone who is both highly skilled and genuinely great to work with, but Ted absolutely checks both boxes. Five stars all around. I highly recommend Murphy Family Electric, and if you can request Ted, do it. You’ll be in great hands."

Customers say: Quick response

"I can't recommend LM Electric highly enough. Logan arrived the same day I called — professional, and incredibly thorough. What I assumed was just a faulty outlet turned out to be a deeper electrical issue. Thanks to his expertise, he caught it immediately and explained everything clearly and calmly. Instead of just fixing the obvious problem, he took the time to inspect the entire house to ensure our safety. His attention to detail and genuine concern for our well-being were truly exceptional. He also provided thoughtful recommendations for an electrical upgrade, which I scheduled right away through his company. This wasn’t just a service call — it was a masterclass in care, competence, and integrity. If you're looking for someone who treats your home like his own and brings both skill and heart to the job - Logan is the best! An amazing electrician and a wonderful human being."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Aurora, OR

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.
