"MMG did a great job all around with my AC repair. I've had them come out twice to work on my aging AC system. Each time they were out quickly, got the job done right, cleaned up after themselves, and were professional. These guys are my go-to for anything HVAC related. I recommend them to everyone."

"Honest fair family man, highly recommended. The local electric Company in New Martinsville was price gouging. He traveled back into the mountains and got the job done for a fair price, with great communication skills. He will get all future work needed."

"I called them early evening on 12/30 and explained my problem. The guy said he would get someone there the next day, probably by noon. The repair guy arrived at 12:40. He was extremely nice, very knowledgeable and efficient. He repaired the heater and had it back to working condition in no time and it has continued to work fantastically every since. The price was very reasonable ($144 for parts and labor plus the service call). The repairman explained that they warranty all of their work and that if I have any further issues I can call them 24 hours a day and someone will answer and if it is in emergency they will come out any time of the day or night. I will definitely use these guys in the future for all of my HVAC needs. <br />"

"Excellent work! We had bad wire in our house that needed replaced + wanted to add some outlets to our partly done pantry and back deck, as well wanting a light installed on our back porch. Nate was AWESOME! The work was done in a timely manner and it was done well! There were many unknown obstacles that made the job harder than we thought it would be, but Nate kept a positive attitude and got the job done! Will definitely come back for future projects!"

"I phoned Dan Coe on Tuesday to request assistance in getting the electrical work done. He came to the house Tuesday afternoon, provided me an estimate by that evening, and indicated that he could do the work on Thursday. I confirmed our agreement to have the work done. Dan and his assistant showed up as promised on Thursday, and completed the bulk of the work that day. He finalized the work Friday morning and we were able to have an inspector approve the repair that afternoon. Now all we're waiting for is for Appalachian Power to turn the service back on! Dan did a great job and completed it quickly realizing the urgency of the situation."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Eleanor, WV

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.
