"I called them and had them come out and give me an estimate to put in a check switch so I was able to run my generator into the cabin during power outages .I needed to run most appliances, satellite system, and Wi-Fi as I run my phone off Wi-Fi and depend on it as I don't get a cell signal. I had a few other estimates but Armato Electric by far not only had better ideas to accomplish what I wanted and what needed to be done but also very competitive in their pricing and their work is outstanding . I have used it a few times during the frequent power outages we get in North Blue Ridge and am so pleased with their work,I am having other work done by them as far a ceiling fan outside and some security lighting and an additional outlet put on my Deck... They are very courteous and professional and prompt in returning calls..They show up when they say they are and I have nothing but good things to say about them.... If you're looking for a very professional Electrian and electrical company you will not go wrong by hiring Armato Electric"

"Power Solutions Unlimited, Inc. earned my business this past summer. My generator failed in May 2014, and the company I purchased it from (NOT Power Solutions Unlimited, Inc.) failed to show up for a scheduled appointment three different times. I finally decided to take the bull by the horns and find another vendor. I obtained a list of companies in my area that service Generac generators and started calling. I got voice mail for the first two companies I called (never a good sign), and then to my relief, when I called Power Solutions Unlimited, Inc. I got a live person. I explained my problem, and the very nice lady who took my call, Lynn, set up an appointment to have my unit serviced. She assured me that her tech would show up, and he did! The tech, BJ, was friendly, knowledgeable, and after troubleshooting my unit, explained exactly what was wrong and how much it would cost to repair it. I was so impressed with the service I received from PSU that I decided to purchase a maintenace agreement from them for my unit. My recent service call was for the semi-annual inspection, performed by another nice tech named Tony. This coming summer someone from PSU will perform the PM on my unit, and I can rest assured that the tech will show up as promised!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Lakemont, GA

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.
