"Jason and his crew came in to my homeand did a fantastic job. They spread out tarps and war bootiesany debris was caught and cleaned up. The job came out perfect and there was no mess anywhere. These electricians were totally professional, and the budget came in slightly under the quoted amount. I was thrilled with the job and recommend them highly!!!"

"The two young men who performed the installation were informative, professional, cordial, and they left the scene spotless. There was a technical problem with the engine on the generator itself, which they weren't able to help with, because they weren't licensed to work on the specific brand of generator. That might be something to check on before hiring for this type of job."

"We hired Joe to upgrade our electrical service (from 100A to 200A), install a bigger roof panel, and a generator interlock. From start to finish he made the whole process painless. He worked around our schedule and we are very pleased with the outcome. Will definitely call him again for future projects."

"Our project was a panel upgrade and generator install. From the first point of contact through point of completion Kevin's level of professionalism, customer service and follow through were beyond exceptional. He is very skilled and knowledgeable in the electrical field. He was able to answer all of our questions and we knew we made the right choice. Once the scope of work was determined and a date/time established he arrived on time and completed the work promptly and neatly. We are extremely pleased with Kevin's work. In fact we have other electrical projects planned in the near future and we will be reaching out to Kevin. For anyone searching for an electrician Kevin is the right person and I can assure you that you will not be disappointed."

"Extremely happy with the service from Paul! I had an old 240V outlet in my garage I was hoping to use for a new electric car. Paul came out and got the outlet working again. He offered multiple options but didn't try to upsell me on the most expensive work. We mutually decided on the most cost effective solution (which was substantially less than other options). Paul is a very honest electrician and I will definitely use him again for any future needs."

"Mike was amazing to work with. I had a request to service and repair 3 generators and install of a interlock switch for generator cutover to my in law suite. He was the first one to reach out. Mike did it all for me and kept me informed on all the parts needed to complete the job. He was also able to get all the parts himself and keep me informed on each of the costs. All was done on an agreed time table . We were both very flexible with scheduling . Mike was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Mike and will consider him my electrician moving forward . Great personality and work ethic , really is motivated to help and work out any issue"

"Most of us are well aware that service calls for any home repair leave us all a little apprehensive. Some businesses focus more on the bottom line, and in turn, the quality of work suffers for the customer. This isnâ t the case with Milltown Plumbing and Heating when I called them to service my central A/C which wasn't cooling the house. Even though my unit is in need of replacement, Jay, their Field Service Technician was able to at least get the A/C up and running. He was honest and straightforward in assessing my problem and suggested I meet with a comfort advisor in regard to a new central A/C unit. My experience didn't change. The comfort advisor I met with gave me a variety of options for a replacement unit, again he was courteous and honest. If youâ re looking for a company that you can trust, a company with integrity, I would strongly recommend you contact Milltown Plumbing and Heating for any of the services they provide."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Harvard, MA

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.
