"The estimate was done while I had cappucino and played with the 2 Body Shop dogs. Staff was very friendly. Joe came back in and took me out to the car. I was in a state of shock...both dents in the bumper were gone, the light was taped, clamps reattached, hot staples held a small crack, and there was no charge. I didn't want to make a claim on insurance and replace the whole bumper for fairly minor damage. It took me a little while to get over the shock and say thank you. Arnold's is a 3 generation business which recently built a new building. The only thing he wanted in return for no charge was word of mouth info. Personal attention, old time values, modern equipment, seasoned body shop personnel, etc....everything that fits together to make a superior body shop. I petted the dogs goodbye before leaving in my near to perfect car. Arnold's Body Shop is the place to go first for collision repair as well as detailing and other bodywork. Remember, dents in plastic bumpers can often be removed without removing the whole bumper. <br />"

"<p>Somehow my laptop corrupted the operating system and would not even boot up. Alexander Technical Resources (Spencer) came to my house to try to repair my computer. We decided that my computer needed to go to their repair facility for some serious work. They were able to save all my data, ran thorough diagnostics and repaired my computer. It was such a relief that I did not loose and data.</p> <p>This is the second time I have used them. The first was to set up this very laptop and transfer all the data from my old PC.</p> <p>I would recommend Alexander Technical Resources and will use them for any other computer repairs. </p> <p><br /></p> <br /> <br /> <br />"

"We e-mailed Koehler Electric stating our problem.  Within the same day (Thursday) we got our reply to call the store to make an appointment, which we did. We provided more detail about the job over the phone and then agreed that the electrician would stop by at Noon the following Monday to give us an estimate. (Because of the height of the ceiling, I told my wife; "They will have to provide some kind of scaffolding to reach that height and this is going to run us from $350-400!!).   <br /> Well, the electrician called on the following Monday to report that he might be a little late (He was less than 10 minutes late) but wouldn't be long.  When he saw that the fan operated off of a rheostat control, he said, that the motor <em>may</em> not be frozen and then proceeded to remove the rheostat and replaced it with a standard off and on toggle switch.  The fan responded immediately and has operated perfectly since.   <br /> I couldn't be more pleased.  The electrician, Matt Logue, was as pleasant as could be, saved me at least $200 and did it all in a professional way.  We'll definitely do more business with this company. <br />"

"Bob came over to my house to review the work I needed to have done prior to my kitchen installation. He thoroughly walked through my house and observed all the possible work that needed to be done. He then emailed me the estimate, we decided on the price and he started the work. He was very friendly, prompt and kept the dirt to a small area. I am very happy with the work performed and I will be using him again. <br />"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Blue Grass, IA

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.
