"Excellence Electric was fantastic! All work needed was explained ahead of time, as well as all options available to us. He didn’t try to talk us into unnecessary repairs or upgrades, and suggested safe alternatives, where possible, that could carry us over until we undergo more extensive upgrades. We’ll continue going to Excellence Electric for all of our Electrical work."

"The company owner, Jacob came out to my property with one of his crew members to discuss the requested electrical work and provide an estimate taking all aspects of the job into consideration. Using digital tools, he provided a written estimate on the spot that I accepted. On the day scheduled for the job, Jacob and his team arrived on time. They walked through the property verifying the work that would be completed. The crew members were always focused on the job and were extremely conscientious. They took great care to protect the property with plastic sheets in all areas where they were working. An unforeseen problem was discovered during the job (some live wires that were disconnected and not capped off). The unsafe situation was resolved without any extra cost. The entire job was completed professionally and thoroughly and nothing was left undone. As I had questions during the job, they were addressed immediately. The crew members communicated with each other (even using their cell phones when one was in the attic or it was difficult to hear one another) throughout the job making sure they were working together to complete all requested tasks. Near the end of the day, Jacob returned to review all the work that had been done and to touch base with me with regard to my satisfaction with the work. When all work was completed, Jacob generated a digital invoice and sent it to me electronically. The service provided by Gandzjuk Electric was top notch. I will not hesitate to recommend this company to others."

"Tom answered the phone and gave a suggestion to try to reset the outlet before we had them come over to look at it. Although the fix didn't work, we appreciated the effort to avoid a service call. They came over that same day and determined that the outlet was fine but we had a faulty fuse that needed replacement. The whole repair effort took an hour. Price included the part and $140 service call.They did a great job and we will use them again for sure."

"Brian was very professional in his demeanor. He was kind enough to squeeze my job in before heading out on vacation. The work was done on time, looked great and and worked perfectly. Brian was kind enough to replace a couple of sub par fuses and fixed up the fuse box without charging any labor. Iâ ll definitely call this company for any future electrical issues."

"Tim is the guy you want for the job! A power surge in Laguna tripped and fried my main power supply breaker. It was a Sunday night when I called Tim and to my surprise, he answered the phone! He assured me that even though he was booked the following day, he would take care of the problem. Tim met me at 7am Monday morning (before his other appointments). He had already purchased a replacement breaker and had my electricity back on by 8am! That level of service and professionalism is hard to find, so I wanted to leave a review to let everyone know that Tim Henson should be your first and last call for anything electrical!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Ladera Ranch, 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.
