"TriCat is very professional, clean, and prompt. Angelo is great and knows exactly what needs to be done. Their prices are also fair and comparable to other electricians in my area. The job was done on time. This is very important when trying to keep the renovations on schedule. I would definitely recommend them to a family or friend, and use them again myself."

This was two separate jobs. Although it is taking some time to get the generator, their guys came out in advance and installed the panel. They gave us the option of purchasing the generator in our own for quicker turn around. They were very professional, courteous and explained how everything will work once the generator arrives. Their quote was less than 1/2 what others wanted and they quoted us the most reasonable generator for what we wanted powered. Other companies only gave us the option of far more power than we needed or wanted & far more work on our panel.

We also had an entire room with no electricity (we just the purchased home, it was not a thrown breaker) and a handful of new light fixtures and switches to install. Obviously, the room issue could have been a big or little problem. One company gave us a flat fee estimate of $2,000 to diagnose and fix the problem + additional fees for the other installations. Conte gave us a quote with minor fees for the install work and simply "Time & Material" for the room. It took Joe 30 minutes to find and fix the problem @ less than $100 an hour.

They are a busy group, so it took some time for our work. But they are very reasonably priced compared to others and honest!

"Gene Antonucci did a spectacular job today replacing a boiler part under warranty. Advised that this was a difficult two person job I was quoted a charge of $4,500.00 for labor. I told management I will not pay for labor for a part under warranty. I got a call back and the price was reduced to $2,500.00 I told them I would not pay a single dollar. I guess as a cost savings measure for the repair the company sent one man. Gene did the job of two. Professional as they come. T Webber did the right thing by me. And I appreciated it very much. So thank you T Webber for doing so. Nobody should have to pay labor for the installation of a warrantied part. And thank you T Webber for sending Gene over to do the job. Couldn't be happier with the result."

"Had a complicated problem with my circuit breaker to my switch box which connects to my generator during a power outage. Tony came and gave me an estimate at N/C. He was very professional and answered all my questions. He came the next day and fixed the problem for a very fair price. I will definitely use them in the future, and will highly recommend them to friends and relatives."

"We had to update our panel box from 100a service to 200a service. Frankly, the biggest pain in the neck was coordinating with the utility company, but Greg even took care of that. Greg worked throughout the day with installation of not only the panel box, but the new equipment needed on our roof for the electrical lines to attach to from the street. The panel box looks fantastic, the space was left clean and the pricing was more than fair."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Carmel, NY

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.
