"I would recommend LT Generators. Their customer service and installing team is fantastic. I had many questions being new to owning a generator and they answered all my questions in great detail and in less than 24 hours. Once the team of installers arrived they got right to work. They were very courteous and respectful to me and my property. I would hire LT Generators for again without thinking twice. I highly recommend them."

"It is difficult to find quality work these days, look no further. Gary is very professional, communicative, organized and did a fantastic job that was precise and neat. He has great attention to detail. I would highly recommend Gary for anything you need. I was very impressed with his work ethic and problem solving approach when he also helped with other wiring challenges in the house as well as installing an EV charger in the garage. Excellent work!"

"PowerUp Electric did an extensive rewiring of my parent's 1914 home. The wiring was a real mess with a mix old and new wiring. Gabriel, Martin, and Frank were wonderful. We really appreciated their attention to every detail, their follow-up, and expertise! Prior to hiring PowerUp, we had a few other electricians come out to see what was needed, but we did not feel comfortable with their knowledge of how to extensively rewire the home. Frank came out and was very thorough in his evaluation of the current wiring and what was needed to bring the wiring up-to-date. Gabriel worked with us to give us a very competitive price and was extremely accommodating in his working with all the other contractors onsite: pluming, plaster repair, flooring, framers, etc at the same time. We felt that the whole team, Gabriel, Martin, and Frank worked well together and quickly performed all the work needed and helped us make critical decisions with regard to recommended work. At the very end, we had a very old candelabra which had sentimental value which was shorted out. Martin took the candelabra back to the shop and completely fixed it! We are very pleased with PowerUp Electric and would recommend them for any project! We certainly will hire them again if we need any further electrical work!"

"Carlos was very courteous and professional. He upgraded our electrical panel, added circuits in our kitchen, garage and outlets on the outside of our house. He was also able to trouble shoot and repair an issue we had with our ceiling fan. He showed up on time and completed the work promptly and neatly. Quality work at a great price. We would definitely recommend him for electrical work."

"I hired Mitch to run power from my electrical box to an outdoor solarium. It required digging to hide the wiring under my artificial turf, running it through the yard , then into the structure. Mitch did the job perfectly. The yard looked untouched, running the power into the structure was also perfect. He did the job in exactly the time he said he would. He’s the best electrician I’ve had since we moved into our house. Don’t hesitate to call him!!"

"Rene showed up at the exact time agreed to. He made a couple short trips to the home center for parts etc. All of the work agreed to in advance was performed so that the end result was complete usage of the articles he was hired to enhance and repair. The impression left was that of a seasoned pro who is used to many and varied projects. So, end result was all issues were repaired to the max and the price is fair in today's marketplace. I mailed Rene a check hours after he left and he trusted me to do so. So, for a first impression, sure I would hire him again and would recommend him to other owners in my 14 unit condo complex just off the ocean in South Redondo."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Los Angeles, 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.
