"We first needed to have our smoke detectors interconnected and hard wired to pass a rental inspection. Kevin came out promptly and on time for an initial estimate. The estimate was great for what we needed done. Kevin came out the same week to complete the project for us and did an excellent job all at a reasonable rate. Our second project was that some of our outside electrical switches were not working. I contacted Kevin and he came out the next day to complete the job again at a great rate. If your looking for great customer service, excellent quality of work and a great value for your money look no further than K&K Electric."

"We hired Wolf Electric for the first time in early 2025 to come out and give us an estimate on getting a generator outlet and a few new outlets put into our home. Alex (the owner) was very kind, courteous, and professional from the moment he walked in the door. He explained everything to me, not knowing anything about electricity, he explained everything to me until I understood. He also answered every question my husband and I had. Needless to say, we hired him to do the work, and his work was excellent! Nothing was messed up, and everything looks and works perfectly! He even told us of other things we should be worrying about in the future, even if we didn't hire him for the job, he still cared enough to let us know. In the Summer of 2025, our panel went up (we bought an old house), we called Wolf Electric, and he came out right away to replace the panel. We have now hired Wolf Electric once again to do more work on our home. We will always use them for our electrical needs! "

"Russell was prompt, very polite and helpful. He explained everything and pointed out where my old rowhouse differs from newer codes. (Grandfathered until I want to sell.) There was an upsell on an annual plan, but it will save some 15% on some planned upgrades, so I went with it. Dawn, office support, also was friendly and pleasant to work with. She gave me a follow-up call next morning after my multi-company query through Angie's. My inquiry detailed list of three small repairs did not get other takers, so no real cost comparison, but I feel the price was fair-- $500 for about 2 hours, including the plan and dispatch fee."

"The job took about 25 minutes. The technician was professional, courteous, and respectful of the 6-10 feet rule during the Covid-19 Pandemic. The only downside was the pricing $180.00. Considering the technician was able to arrive at my residence and make repairs under an hour after my initial call, I will not complain. Thanks for great service"

"Local company with two master electricians with over 22 years experience and with the owners son proving to be a strong electrical apprentice. i liked that the owner is a master electrician who personally conducted the free appraisal and would also be working with his men. He was very personal and attentive. Every detail was reflected in the appraisal. When his other master electrician arrived on day one it was clear he understood every detail as if he had conducted the interview. They used generators to support me teleworking throughout. I highly recommend this team for panel and all home electrical upgrade."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Cockeysville, MD

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.
