"Went great. Danny responded to my inquiry immediately after I called him. He bought the generators himself and had them delivered. The installation was a hassle-free experience. Danny is very detailed oriented and very quality-minded. Danny also stopped by my house previously to do an ad-hoc check of my electrical wiring because I was having power cycles. I can’t recommend Danny highly enough."

"This is a very professional operation, from the person who initially took my call, to the installation technician, to their billing department. They gave me a quote and stuck to it--there were no surprises. The work was scheduled quickly and done on time. I would definitely call this company again."

"Brandon did an excellent job and was extremely professional.  He made sure that everything was clean once he completed the job.  He repaired two flourescent fixtures in the master bedroom closet.  I also requested additional work fixing the ballast in the fixture over the vanity and two additional ballast in the garage.
I would definitely recommend Switch electric.

"The technician called before he arrived.  Came at the time scheduled.  Looked at the scope of the work and gave me an estimate before starting work.  One of our light switches had shorted out.  He repaired the switch very quickly."

"I was contacted by Isaac when my printer failed to work. He was at my house by that afternoon and had it working in 20 minutes. Then my computer crashed on me so I contacted Isaac again and he was able to have me up and running with a new computer and dual monitors by the end of the week. He took the time to explain how everything worked as well as how important backing up everything is. He is very professional, on time and friendly to boot. I highly recommend him for any and all IT work and I look forward to working with him in the future."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Buda, TX

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.
