"The service was great. I submitted a request for a quote through Angi and someone called me that afternoon. Someone was out the next day to take a look at things to prepare a quote. The quote was detailed and listed everything we discussed. They did not try to upsell anything I did not need. On the day of the job, the workers showed up on time and were very friendly. They were respectful of my home and everything in it, even while working in some tight spaces. They left it just as clean (and in some areas cleaner) than it was when they arrived. I am working from home, so they brought a generator so I was able to hook up my pc and internet access while the power was off. I am very pleased with the service and job and would definitely use Brandon Electric again."

"Tech James was very professional. I wasn't crazy about the price but the work was started and completed as promised. Within 6 hrs of contacting Homeadvisor website, my project was done. I had been calling someone else referred by a friend for three weeks to come and look at the job. I would use Generation 3, again."

"I worked directly with Frank. He was knowledgeable and kind. I needed my electrical box replaced along with some other problems that were causing surges in my house. I have an electrical device through my homeowner's insurance that monitors electrical hazards. The company offered to fix two items. Frank offered me 4 upgrades/repairs for the same price. He was VERY easy to communicate with via phone and text. We ran into some bad weather and had to postpone the project a few days, but he stayed in touch never letting me feel bamboozled. I truly appreciated Frank's commitment to my project. One of the stipulations of my homeowner's policy for the sensor was to communicate with the fire hazard team while he worked. I was certain this would send him running. Nope, he made several phone calls to the company and spoke with them while onsite. This job is complete and I was 100% pleased. I will be calling Frank back to work on several other projects in my house as well as referring him to family and friends. Thanks Frank!!!!!!!!!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Clifton Heights, PA

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.
