"Emanuel (and his daughter as helper!) did a great job installing a 240v EV charging station at my home last month. He was able to give me a bid after I sent him some pictures and rough measurements and when he came out to my home to do the installation, recommended a much better way to do the install (that no other electrician, even those who gave me bids after in-person visits, offered as an option). It's been working fine thus far.. I'd definitely recommend Emanuel. Thanks."

"steve is the best electrician i've ever had the pleasure of working with. when half our house suddenly lost power in a partial outage that no amount of breaker-flipping could fix, i took to angi list, where i was matched with Steve + towers EC. he identified the root of the problem with ease - an ancient, crumbling power box - & immediately knew what to do, expertly breaking it down in simple terms for the layman. as it was a rare model, it took him 3 visits to different stores to find one; he installed it in barely 15 minutes. not only did he restore our power, but he went above and beyond, even cutting down a tree blocking the breaker. I had to call my grandfather for money to afford the cost of the unit; seeing our financial struggle, Steve kindly waived his modest repair fee, saying we had enough to worry about. his honesty, kindness, and commitment to quality were amazing. Steve towers EC truly live up to the motto on his card: integrity above all. thank you again!!!"

"As a fairly busy realtor I come across a lot of service providers and Julian sets the standard for what great looks like. He is professional, efficient and delivers top-quality work. He completed my job quickly (troubleshooting some non functioning lights and plugs a tenant had tinkered with) and his pricing was very fair. I will definitely use Julian again for future electrical project and will be recommending him to my clients."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Birds-landing, 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.
