"Jack and his electrician crew (Roger and partner) did an excellent job of installing a 14-50 240 volt connector in my garage for a Telsa Y. Very happy with the service and friendly technicians. I will use them again for more EV projects. Daniel in Diamond Bar"

"William and his team did a fantastic job upgrading our meter panel. They took care of all the permits and had the job done on time and on schedule. They were extremely communicative throughout the entire process and I would use them for all electrical services in the future."

"The whole process, from estimate to follow-up service, was superb. There was an issue with the installed timer. A simple request and the replacement was scheduled for replacement within a week at no charge. A request for an upgrade was also done quickly for a small charge. I highly recommend Martin!"

"Albrik Electric Co was contracted out as a 3rd party to complete an installation for a business client. The former electrical contractor was let go and Albrik Electric Co stepped in to resume the work. Between the ease of communication, the quality of work, flexibility of work time, and fair pricing, I highly recommend using Albrik Electric Co. We will consider using this company again for future projects."

"Steve is awesome. I called for a quote and he saved me money by talking me through a diagnosis. He spent a lot of time to help me figure it out and didn't charge me a dime. I was able to fix it myself with his help. He already gave me a very reasonable quote. It's a company that can be trusted. I will definitely call for all my electrical needs for properties I manage. If you need any electrical work done, I wouldn't hesitate to give Steve at Wilson Electric a call. Thank you for the help!"

"I had a electrical problem which I wanted Johnson Electrical to fix. Upon hearing my description of the problem, he made a simple suggestion before having him come out, the fix solved the problem instantly which easily saved me $100. Other vendors I asked asking for $100 dollars upfront just to give me an estimate! I would definitely call this guy next time I have a problem.

FAQs for generator repair projects in La Puente, CA

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.
