"Juan was on time and very professional. Did an excellent job adding a sub panel for a generator and even correct a code violation that was found in the main box when he opened it up. The time estimate and price quot where both right on the money. He also did a great clean up job when the work was finished. Would recommend him to anyone needing some electrical work."

"Found McCormick Electrical highly rated on both HomeAdvisor and Angie's list so contacted them. I needed a major upgrade on wiring/main service to house/ and electric panel for a neglected 1908 rental house I purchased right next to my own home. My initial contact with the McCormick office was friendly, professional, and very informative. I got an appointment in just 2 days at my time of preference. Then I received multiple notifications prior to the service call confirming the date/time and name of technician, Brian, coming to my home, and an email/text with a photo ID of Brian. When he arrived I showed Brian the electrical inspection report/issues from the house purchase, he reviewed that, did his own full inspection, and then laid out multiple service options for me ranging from the most to least expensive. A "no-dicker" final price was clearly listed for each, no matter what other issues, difficulties, time, etc. he might run into for the proposed work. This allowed me to decide whether to have the whole project done at once, or in a series of logical steps based on my urgency and budget. This was not an easy decision, and Brian was very patient as I went back-and-forth with my thoughts and questions. He showed me inside and outside the danger spots, actual rust, water damage, frayed cables, etc. that were at issue. I elected to get the majority of the necessary main work done (install an entirely new exterior 'main service' cable/tower apparatus at the meter to the house, and a new contractor-grade elec. panel.) This was expensive, but I knew from prior experience and other contractors was within reasonable price range so I felt no need to get additional quotes from other companies. Then Brian offered to do all the work right THEN, same day, no delays, no additional calls. He had all the parts he needed in his truck for this major job. This was amazing to me, given the scope of the project. Then Brian worked nonstop until 9pm (with a short lunch break) doing all the work inside and out. In the process, his testing equipment indicated a suspicious unknown current imbalance in the main electrical (neutral) line between our house and the utility pole. He explained to me this could indicate a serious/dangerous problem in the line (e.g. could be shorting out, exposed wires, or poor connection) and we called the Indiana Michigan Power utility outage number at 6pm. (It's their issue, at that location in the line.) IMP came out within several hours and repaired the problem at the utility pole at no cost to me. Point is, I would have had no idea about that exterior utility-line issue, even if I had been capable of doing all the interior electrical work myself. The current imbalance had not been discovered by the professional house inspector I'd paid for, either. Communication with Brian was excellent throughout, he answered my many curious questions, advised me on my own future remodeling/wiring plans for the house"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Bremen, IN

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.
