"It turns out I just needed to replace a breaker that was a much cheaper repair since my system was already upgraded to 100 amps. No need to replace the panel. Brandon explained this well, worked efficiently and professionally."

"I hired them for a complex EV CHARGER installation project. I have detached garage which required wires to be pulled from my home to my garage for about 300feet. Matt showed up on time and was very clear with the communication and what to expect. The price was cheaper compared to other electricians I enquired through angi. Overall he did an exceptional job and I would highly recommend hiring him."

"After a significant delay, mostly because of overbooking and generator availability, installation went well and everything worked as it should. Because the cold weather kits were not available, they could not install it and required another appointment. That's where most problems happen. Calling, leaving messages, talking to people to leave messages to call back, emailing endlessly, the electrician that did the install leaving, after months, the kit was installed, successfully. The next hurdle was the 1 year prepaid maintenance service, oil/spark/filter change. That took 5 months to iron out when we could get someone to respond. The generator was installed 10/2012 the prepaid maintenance happened on 05/2015, because of so many communication misses. Then we paid $385 for a 1 year maintenance which happened on 06/2016, again because a combination of our availability and successfully getting the attention of McCurdy through whatever means possible. This year, 08/2017 the generator would not exercise. I called McCurdy, left messages both to a machine, in the middle of the day, and with a person in the morning. Two weeks goes by and nothing. I diagnosed the problem as the 12V starting battery, which lasted 5 years with only 85 hours on the generator, by far only exercise hours. While most questions or scheduling could be an easy ten minute conversation with everyone walking away happy, this never happened. Will not go back to McCurdy for any reason."

"Paul was very professional, courteous and friendly. We had an outside light that did not work. Paul came and checked and found that the circuit wiring was open. He provided a quick solution and got the light working. We are happy with his work, professional approach and for helping fix the problem. We would refer Paul and hire him again for electrical work."

"Joe did a great job installing 3 new smart thermostats and diagnosing some kitchen electrical issues for me. He was prompt, efficient, and finished the entire job in just a few hours. Joe was meticulous and cleaned up after himself before leaving. I would highly recommend Joe to anyone needing a master electrician. He is a true professional who does excellent work!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Medford, MA

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.
