"The electrician (Eddie) was ON TIME, which was a big deal for me and very much appreciated. He also was patient in answering all my questions about the extension I was working on and the process for putting in the wiring. I was nervous about making sure everything was up to code and he helped put me at ease about it. He also was very respectful of other workers on the property at the time and was considerate of their work space and process. He communicated very well with them to help finish all the work quickly. There were NO issues with the inspector as far as electrical work goes. He did the job very neatly. We liked his work so much that we asked him to come back to install some ceiling fans and fire alarms. We’re very happy with the service his company provided and we recommend him to all our friends "

"Dick and Dave reviewed my plans to install a level 2 electric vehicle car charger in my garage, which included a full rewiring of the entire garage, and installation of a new 20 breaker 200 amp subpanel. Dick was very responsive and was helpful with researching the project design prior to pulling the city permit. Dick provided the written estimate at a reasonable price. They started work immediately once I approved the project. Dick and Dave were very prompt and professional with this installation. I will highly recommend Aloha Solar and Electrical to my friends and family. Mahalo Dick for all your help on my project."

"After numerous spotty responses from other electricians varying from being hesitant to doing the work, wanting to charge over $600, to simply being aloof. I accepted her home adviser invite. One thing I look for in a contractor is how willing they are to talk shop with me and to explain every step of the way. I understand most people are not technically savvy. But when someone takes the time explain it shows they know what they are doing and enjoy their work enough to talk about it to a stranger, rather than speaking in layman's. Clarice and I were in contact with each other for about 4 days from start to finish. We shared texts and photos explaining where I wanted my garage 240 outlet. And she went out did some research and provided her assessment. After we agreed she bought the parts and did the work. Her schedule was accommodating and she did the work on a Sunday. She was running behind from another job and kept to her word that she would do the job that day. She also noticed a mistake in my panel and corrected it at cost. Highly competitive price compared to others in the area. She worked as a practiced professional. Her work resulted in a professional installation of a 240 outlet, correction inside of my panel, and at a price that was lower than most of the others I received quotes from. Thank you!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Kailua, HI

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.
