"Tried having 3 companies come out to install one simple additional 120 volt outlet install One company quoted 3x the normal cost chat gpt said it should cost, another company said they would come out and never showed, another company believe it or not sent out a guy who gave me a quote and said he would come the following day to install and never showed. Perry power saved the day, came out, quoted, arrived back when they said they would and did a very clean professional job and was done in no time. Definitely recommend."

"I have used HOCO POWER several times over the past few years (after reading excellent reviews on Google). The workers - Brandon, Josh and Christian have always done a great job. Since I initially chose HOCO POWER because of their review, it is necessary to update their reviews with my own experiences. Chris Kemp, the owner of HOCO POWER, has made my project a nightmare. I learned from his son, Brandon, that they do carpentry work as well as electrical. I asked him to rebuild my greenhouse which was damaged in a recent storm. I agreed to pay his full asking price for labor ($8495) but stated I would purchase all materials ($2200+) before the project began. Two weeks later Mr. Kemp stated that he was finished and presented me with additional receipts for materials that he purchased (mostly without my knowledge) in the amount of $1325. Even though $300+ of these materials were questionable (i.e. hammer, broom, sodas, cement, etc.), I paid him the full $1325 he requested. He also stated that he had purchased $1298.43 in electrical supplies (for which there is no physical evidence). I asked him for receipts so that I could reimburse him. He stated that he was not going to show me any receipts and that I was “ignorant” for even requesting them. The only electric supplies present in my 12’x16’ greenhouse are 6 outlets, 2 switches, 30’ of Christmas lights and a ceiling fan. (See pictures). Note: I had a perfectly good working ceiling fan in the greenhouse before he took it down and left it out in the rain to be damaged. Two weeks after starting the project, he left my greenhouse unfinished and stated that he was going to put a lien on my home. The matter is currently being adjudicated. This review is my experience with HOCO POWER."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Fort Valley, GA

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.
