"Late Saturday night my husband realized that many of the outlets in the basement weren't working.  After further inspection on Sunday we realized that many of our outlets, lights, and appliances (clothes dryer, air conditioning, furnace) weren't working either.  We decided we needed to call someone to come out on Sunday. <br /> I tried calling several places and left messages. Now, 4 hours later, no one has called me back. One place answered the phone, but couldn't get anyone to our house until Thursday. We have five kids, and just no way we can wait that long.   <br /> The only other place that answered the phone was Universal Electric. They had someone out to the house within an hour.  He was able to test the power coming into the house, and found that one of the lines coming into the house wasn't working. That was something that the power company had to fix, but without knowing that we never would have known to call them. He called the power company for us and explained the problem, and the power company came out and gave us a temporary line so that we could have electricity until they can get the line worked on later this week. <br /> We so appreciate Universal Electric's promptness both in answering the phone on Sunday and being able to come out right away. <br />"

"It was the day before Thanksgiving. I called a highly-rated electrical contractor, who didn't have an open appointment until the following Monday. Yikes! A family of five with no dryer for five days? A general contractor friend of mine recommended TyCon Electric. I called TyCon Electric at 2:00 p.m. Aaron said he could totally sympathize with my lack of a dryer. He said he would be at the house by 4:00 p.m. At 3:50 p.m., he arrived. Needless to say, Aaron was prompt. He was also courteous and had the problem assessed and repaired within minutes. The bonus was, he really was nice to my cat, who wanted Aaron to take him home with him. The service was outstanding at a fair price. I'll recommend TyCon Electric to anyone!"

"We were replacing a dining room chandelier and a ceiling fan with a light in the master bedroom. The installations went very well. The young man was great - friendly and professional. He was done in less than two hours. I will use that company again."

"Chuck and his crew did an AMAZING job at renovating and repairing our rental house to prepare it for sale. They did everything from painting to flooring to installing new vanities to repairing drywall and replacing doors. It looked like a completely different home when they were done, and they did everything on time. We are hiring them to do more work on our current house -highly recommend!!"

"I fell for a computer scam where the scammer claimed to be with a computer service firm contracted by Microsoft to repair a dangerous flaw with Windows 10.  I was suspicious, but let them access my computer remotely.  I hung up when they started talking about offering to protect my computer for a price.  The Microsoft website describes these scams.   I was worried that my computer was compromised so I called ATR and had them check my computer for maleware.  I had to wait a day or two to get an appointment, but they contacted me at the scheduled time and performed the work remotely and efficiently.  The ATR rep was courteous and  and willing to spend time answering questions beyond the minimum required to service the computer.  This is the second time I have used ATR and have been pleased both times. <br />"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Louisville, NE

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.
