"Full turnkey installation of a Generac 17KW standby generator to wire my whole house for back up power was performed and the whole process was excellent. 

Very easy process once decision to purchase was made, I initially received an estimate one year prior to performing the work.  I had many questions and they gladly answered and provided me with as much information as possible.  When I contacted for new proposal the following summer in 2010 they rebid the job for a whole house install and a limited install, and due to upgrade from manufacturer using an improved transfer switch, my cost for whole house install was only marginally more than the estimate in 2009 for a limited installation so I chose the whole house option.

The entire process was very easy once I signed the bid.  Took about 2 weeks for the generator to come in, during that time they came to my home without me there and set the pad for the generator.  Once the generator arrived they set an install date and the process took about 1 week.  Generator was delivered, gas lines wire installed, electrical transfer switch and all other wiring and install necessary.  The work was done as scheduled and completed on time. 

I met the technician at the agreed upon time when installation was complete and they reviewed the operations of the generator with me.  He explained and demonstrated how it operates and showed me how it would work in event power was lost.  It is automatic and there is nothing for me to do in the event of a power outage or to run a maintenance check.  The generator is set to run a test cycle for about 5 minutes once a week and has warning lights that will notify me of any problems or let me know know if battery is dead or needs charging.

Overall we are very pleased with the installation, cost, and service from Storm Guardian Generators.  We have had one 5 hour power outage since the installation, I was at the store when power went out and the generator started automatically and restored power before my wife could find a flash light and go check on the generator.  Power surged and went on and off a few times as it was brought back online by electric company and my generator restarted without fail within a minute of losing power each time.wiring"

"Lightning rod installation in 2022 and the work was done flawlessly, the technicians were professional, left my property clean and tidy and the work they did looks appealing. My total cost was less than $3k and it was worth every penny as two other houses in my neighborhood got striken and burned."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Freeport, TX

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.
