"5 Stars – Exceptional Electrical Work by Shawn at Spears Electric! We hired Spears Electric to troubleshoot and repair several recessed ceiling lights and a light switch that stopped working in one of our bedrooms. Shawn arrived promptly, assessed the situation thoroughly, and identified the root cause of the issue. He discovered a wiring problem and a worn-out dimmer switch. Rather than jumping to replacements, he carefully tested each component and salvaged what could be fixed, saving us unnecessary costs. He also went out to pick up the exact parts needed, including a compatible switch, and made sure everything was safely and cleanly installed. The recessed lights are now fully functional, and the switch operates smoothly. As owners of multiple rental properties, we’ve worked with many electricians—but Shawn’s professionalism, honesty, and attention to detail truly stood out. If you’re looking for someone who treats your home like their own and doesn’t upsell unnecessary work, Spears Electric is the way to go."

"On Tues I had an exterior ‘Ring’ camera installed. The technician flipped several breakers trying to find the one that would turn off the power to the exterior light(lamp) the Ring camera was going to replace. With all breakers back on, we had no power in the living room or master bedroom. The tech & my husband spent an hour trying to figure it out to no avail. That’s when I decided we needed an electrician out here. I called Fowler electric, explained my situation, the office gal was quite knowledgeable, she quoted me $127.50 for the first 1.5hours of work and $85 every hour thereafter which they pro-rate to the nearest 30 mins. Set up an appointment for the next day, 1:30pm to 3pm. Chris called letting me know his ETA and arrived within that timeframe. Within a few mins he had the initial issue resolved and we had power back on in the living room and master bedroom. I had additional electrical work that needed to be done; remove a non-working light above the kitchen sink and install a new one. Come to find out the dimmer switch no longer worked. Chris didn’t have a dimmer switch on him, but I was ok with just regular rocker switch being installed. He checked a back patio light that doesn’t always come on and so far so good. Top screw on bathroom outlet was stripped, wouldn’t stay in. Chris took it apart, put something behind it and got the plate back on, nice & tight. He also removed an old non-working light ballistic in the garage, installed a new one I had bought to replace it and that required cutting a hole in the ceiling for a junction box/outlet since the new light had a plug -vs- hardwire. Then he replaced a couple broken brackets that were holding up an electrical conduit pipe on the side of the house under the eaves. The pipe was sagging severely and I have been wanting it fixed for a couple years now. The entire time, I was at Chris’s side, we chatted, he was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Total cost? $160!! I will DEFINITELY use Fowler Electric for future electrical needs. A++++"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Mccarran-Airport, NV

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.
