"The electrician and his 2 assistants arrived on time with all necessary equipment and tools. They were well organized and the assistants reminded me of good operating room nurses. Every time the electrician needed a tool or piece of equipment, they had it ready. The light fixture was quickly installed. Running the electrical lines for the plugs was difficult as they were located near the lowest edge of the roof line and were difficult to "snake" into place. But the Cody Malone team did a superb job. And the walk the talk. They said we like to leave our clients in better condition than when we came - and they did."

"Fantastic! We hired Nasr Electric to replace our ancient 150 Amp breaker panel with a new Eaton 200 Amp panel (along with a new service cable, new ground electrodes, and a new water ground connection); run 4 new dedicated lines (for an EV charger, the refrigerator outlet, and new GFI outlets for our bathroom and outside deck), and install an outdoor EV charger. Joseph pulled the required permits prior to the job, and he and his crew arrived on schedule and completed all of the work in one day. They were all very friendly, respectful, and professional. Joseph answered all of my questions, and the work site was left in pristine condition. The price for job was very reasonable -- much much less than the first electrician I contacted, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend Nasr electric. They do outstanding work at very reasonable prices!"

"I contacted Sci-Fi Homes in connection with installing a whole house generator last year while doing a major renovation on my home. My initial reason for contacting them was to "pick their brain" on the process as I didn't think I could afford their services. Marshall was quick to respond and was totally professional and courteous during our initial meeting. He provided an extremely detailed quote just a few days later. The price was very competitive and combined with their overall professional and friendly demeanor awarding them the job was a no-brainer.

Marshall took on the added responsibility of coordinating with the contractor, propane provider and the electric company as well. Everything came off without a hitch. Our fuse box situation was a particular mess so we decided to have Marshall and Tony do that job too, because of how well the generator installation went. Once again, a first class job! We had to fire our contractor 8 months in to a promised 4 month job and we found ourselves in a real bind. All facets of that project had been started but nothing had been completed.

The electric work was a real disaster. Once again, it was Marshall and Tony to the rescue! It took them a week to figure out what had and had not been done, what was not done correctly and get it all straightened out and working. They really went above and beyond. I will be using Sci-Fi Homes for all of my electrical needs from now on. They are simply the best!"

"Most other services I called for a repair of my non-working gas fireplace wanted to inspect my firplace, clean the firplace, check the fireplace to give me an estimate, etc. None of them would agree to just repair it without doing things I did not need done. They quoted anywhere from $99 to $325 to clean, ispect, etc., but no commitment to repair the log fireplace. Conde Tech Services was the exception. They quoted $250 to clean the logs and the enclosure and repair the non-working fireplace. Eddie was the technician. he spent close to 3 hours meticulously cleaning each element of the logs and the enclosure, replaced batteries, and got the logs to fire up again. He was also an excellent communicator and focused on repairing things, not rushing to get out with a quote for future services. Good man, Eddie."

"Since day one, Deybi and his crew have been able to solve any electrical problems I've had and provide efficient and effective solutions at a proactive level, long term result. First time working with them was due to our previous preferred electrical contractor failing to help with complex electrical problems at a commercial space (office space), so after some looking we found DBG Electric. They were able to help with setting up light switch wiring, installing cubicle receptacles and replacing fluorescent light ballast along with breakers. At another commercial site, we needed help with installation of power packs, emergency lights and flood lights. All of these were installed in a high ceiling area, which was no problem for DBG. They've also helped with lighting a my personal residence, ranging from kitchen light replaced with LEDs to recess lighting needed in the basement. I highly recommend using them, specially with difficult projects that require some ingenuity."

This generator was installed on the side of a house.  The window had to be replaced to allow for the generator to be placed in this location.  The window was made to not open per code.
We installed this 14kW generator to power the whole house.  We used load shed modules to be able to save the customer money by using a smaller generator than would have been needed if we didn't use the load shed modules.

FAQs for generator repair projects in Lorton, VA

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.
