"Overall the completed work was fine. Not sure how the pricing was calculated based on the required job. I hope someone could explain how they come up these prices. And yes, based on the job that was performed, the price was high. Would the price be by the job or the hours actually worked?"

"John is very responsive. He is timely in communication and even was accommodating when I had to reschedule. Taylor and Gavin arrived early for the appointment. They were very courteous and friendly. Taylor was very thorough and explained everything including overall cost. Both Gavin and Taylor cleaned up after themselves. I would highly recommend Bear Electrical Services. "

"My family paid over the years close to $40,000 and now after a new home purchase and a routine inspection the Heating air person ruined my working hvac. The plumber I order to my new home charged 21,000 dollars and supposedly finishes my work on Wednesday. I am upset at the hvac person who messed up a working system before I purchased the house, the second guy to re-inspect told us with witnesses present that the first guy messed up and had to fill the following Monday my system with r22. I think they are running a Ponzie scheme to purchase a new unit. A unit that was working before they inspected it. Two inspectors came a VA who couldn't find anything wrong and a private inspector I had to pay for who could not find anything wrong, except one of the lines in the crawlspace needs to be properly strapped."

"Hayden did an excellent job installing a Level 2 charger for my new EV. An excellent all-round performance from the very beginning with regards to prompt response and communication, fair quote, great workmanship, and finishing the inspection. He worked on the permitting and provided all necessary documents for receiving the Duke credits for charger installation. I recommended Hayden to a friend after my installation where also he did an excellent job."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Holly Springs, NC

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.
