"A tree fell and pulled our service box away from the house so an electrician was needed for the repair. We called Alden Electric. He promptly responded. He switched out the box and rewired all that was needed. It was raining off and on during his repair but that didn't stop him from completing the job. He was professional and friendly and would use him again if needed."

"We called and setup a time for Turn2Us to take a look and give us an estimate. They arrived at the time agreed on. An estimate was sent to us via email which we agreed to having them do the job via a return phone call. The estimate was similar to the one given on the door repair at our home. Basically, it was an estimated price for the labor plus any materials needed. I noticed that they indicated the cost of a plumber in the labor estimate. That became an important piece of information as over the weekend before the repair was started, a water pipe burst underneath the house. I turned the water off at the meter and called the person who was going to repair the toilet to see if their plumber might possibly be used to also repair the burst pipe. It turned out he was the plumber. He agreed to come over and repair the leak at dusk on a Saturday night! The burst pipe was repaired within 2 hours of the initial call. As to the repair of the flooring and replacement of the toilets, The work was absolutely incredible! The linoleum was removed, the wooden support structures repaired, flange replaced, and the new handicap toilets were installed, and new linoleum was installed. Every aspect of the repair was way above expectations. They were on time every time, the work performed was of a superior quality, and there was little to no interruption of our days. Overall, there is zero doubt that we will use Turn2Us for any future handyman repairs! Highly recommended."

"CRS Exteriors did an excellent job on the repair. Karl and Kurtiss worked hard from the time they arrived in the morning until the job was done in the late afternoon. They also kept us informed of their progress. The Sales rep Ed also came by several times to check on the progress of the job. Overall excellent job."

"It was done in a timely matter and they even did some extas like cleaning the entry way of our garage. We have a brick house so the pressure washing was the trim and the sidewalk along with cleaning off the roof. He pointed out that we needed some work on our soffit and facia. But he could not do that until Leaf Guard restructure and repair the gutters. We have used Addison before and found he and his staff to be very professional."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Etowah, TN

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.
