"Two electricians arrived spot on time. The electrical work was performed efficiently and exactly as requested. They also did a good cleanup before leaving. Unfortunately, the men became somewhat sloppy during the drywall cutting phase. I understand that electricians generally do not repair drywall, but there is no reason to make repair work more difficult for others."

"I could not recommend Luis enough. We bought a new build home and the blank slate required some electrical work to make it our own. From lighting, to our new camera system, and several projects in between he’s been reliable through it all. Most of my neighbors feel the same and he’s quickly become the neighborhood’s electrician. Most importantly, he’s always been upfront and honest when it come to diagnosing and pricing."

"Mike and his team were incredible to work with. He was candid and honest about what would be the most cost effective and time efficient approach to the job - even though that meant less money for him. He was responsive and answered all my questions competently and quickly. He and his team were punctual and courteous and completed the job quickly. I will definitely call Mike for my next electrical project and would recommend him to anyone."

"Erik was prompt, polite and was willing to help diagnose my back up solar/inverter issue, which falls out of his usual scope of work with house wiring. I would enthusiastically recommend him for home wiring issues."

"I hired this company to do a 'Tech Upgrade' for a residential property I was selling. Specifically to repair a network infrastructure I installed some time ago. They were very professional, clean, and fast. The end result was better than I had imagined it would be and the best part is that they beat their quote! Very reliable and they will exceed expectations!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Capistrano Beach, 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.
