"<p>Somehow my laptop corrupted the operating system and would not even boot up. Alexander Technical Resources (Spencer) came to my house to try to repair my computer. We decided that my computer needed to go to their repair facility for some serious work. They were able to save all my data, ran thorough diagnostics and repaired my computer. It was such a relief that I did not loose and data.</p> <p>This is the second time I have used them. The first was to set up this very laptop and transfer all the data from my old PC.</p> <p>I would recommend Alexander Technical Resources and will use them for any other computer repairs. </p> <p><br /></p> <br /> <br /> <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!"

"The person performing the service had to make several trips because one of the "new" parts turned out to be faulty. I found both Complete Protection and their local repair contractor to be both very responsive and totally professional at every stage of the repair process."

"Because of the extensive work needed for this rental property, I decided to hire a Property Manager to complete all of the projects, instead of trying to oversee the painting, roof, and other repairs myself. I will pass on this quote to the property manager for her consideration. <br />"

"They came out the same day we called to get an estimate (which was free). They brought with them a professional package with copies of insurance, license, and recommendations from previous clients for us to keep. The verbal estimate he gave us that day was a lot lower then the formal estimate they gave us about a week later. The formal estimate was a lot higher then we were expecting so we contacted several other companies including a "friend on the side" and received very similar bids from all of the other bidders. We chose South River because they were able to do both our electrical upgrade and the HVAC, so we only had one contractor to deal with. Also, they install through Home Depot, so I felt better about having a huge company backing them. We paid through Home Depot also and were able to get financing and had a little more protection if something happened and the job didn't get done. (Like some of the horror stories you hear on HGTV). We had some difficultly getting them scheduled because they were extremely busy with repair calls, (this was right at the start of AC season when we started this project.) Once they were on-site it took a little over a week to have the project completed, including the electrical upgrade and two HVAC systems installed. We did have issues with our dishwasher. Since we still have some knob and tube it is very specific how to connect it to appliances, but it burned up our dishwasher when they reconnected the power, however, they did replace it with a comparable model and installed it for free. We wanted a better model dishwasher (it needed to be replaced anyway), so they worked with us so we could pay the difference and get the dishwasher we wanted. They were very apologetic and very responsive to fix the problem. I am very happy with the work they did, they left little to no evidence they were in and out of the house. A lot of HVAC companies have to sub-out the electrical portion of the install by South River is able to do everything themselves."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Gap-mills, 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.
