Customers say: Quick response

"Yet again I schedule an appointment almost 3 months out and again there are no show. We have spent thousands over the years with John Henry and I've had them come out to do everything but this past year they do nothing but cancel on us they don't show up when we have the schedule appointment. In the last year their customer service and reliability has gone down considerably and I cannot in good faith recommend this company to anybody. We pay a monthly service to have them come out and it is not worth it. And then when you try to speak to somebody on the phone they just act like they don't care. People take time off of work to schedule an appointments around what works for them!! They are way over priced, and always try to sell you new equipment when there's nothing wrong with what you have!! "

"When I was considering power outage protection strategies, Mark (the owner of Artisan Electric) gave me honest, to-the-point advice - factual, and up to date on the new technologies. We compared the options that were available and I was able to make a choice that matched my needs. Artisan worked for me. They are my go-to electricians."

"DO NOT RECOMEND! HAD MORE TECHS OUT THAN I CAN REMEMBER, NEVER FIXED THE ISSUE. HAD ANOTHER NOISE AND IT WAS A BAD COMPRESSOR. NEW BUILD, WE MOVED IN APRIL 2024. THE PART IS COVERED, BUT NOW SINCE IT IS OUTSIDE OF BUILDER WARRANTY, WE HAVE TO PAY ALMOST $700 IN LABOR ON WHAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CAUGHT ALL THE PREVIOUS TIMES. COMPRESSOR WAS NEVER GREASED, BONE DRY. MOST RECENT TECH IT MOST LIKELY CAME FROM THE FACTORY THAT WAY. WHY WASN'T THIS CHECKED ON ALL THE PREVIOUS CALLS?!? THE DAY OF REPAIR I WAS TOLD TO NOT PAY ANYTHING AS SHE WAS CHECKING HISTORY AND WOULD CALL ME BACK. THAT NEVER HAPPENED AND THEN TODAY I RECEIVE A PAST DUE NOTICE VIA EMAIL THREATENING LAWSUITS, LIENS, AND INTEREST CHARGES IF NOT PAID. SEE ATTACHED FOR THE EMAIL PIC."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Memphis, 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.
