"I have hired Steven and his team on two separate occasions and both times the work was excellent and considerably less expensive then all the other quotes I got. For the first job I needed two dedicated 4 outlet 20A circuits ran from my Frog to the breaker box in the garage, a ceiling fan prewire in the Frog, and two power outlets, one behind my wall mounted tv in my living room and the other in my master bedroom. On average I'd say the 4 quotes I got from other companies varied from about $1250-$1500 and they all said that the quote was subject to change based on level of difficulty which they would determined once they arrived on site and made their personal assessment. However Steven's company quoted me $750 and honored that price after the work was done...meaning it didn't try and jack up the price of his quote after the work was finished. Based on the excellent work and pricing I hired Steven's company again about 15 months later to install another power outlet behind my wall mounted TV in my office and an outlet behind my crown moulding so I could power my LIFX strip lighting. Per usual the work quality was excellent and was very reasonably priced. I would def hire again if I needed additional work."

"This is the third time we have used C & B Electrical and must honestly say they are the best electrical company we have ever used! The owner, Brian, is tremendously knowledgeable and his employees are well trained, very polite and professional, and provide excellent service. Sam, the last electrician from C & B Electrical who came to replace our ceiling fan, did a superior job with what could have been a tough job: installing a ceiling fan in a pine-panelled ceiling and getting it to look like it was the perfect match and always there! We were very impressed with his skill and he was exceptionally nice, as well. We are very glad we found this company on Angi's List 2 years ago and have used them ever since."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Ladson, SC

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.
