"It is weeks like this that make me so happy to have had Fitch Electric install a generator at my house. I had them install an EV Generator a few months ago and bit the bullet for the generator knowing this summer would be HOT and PGE would be shutting us down as usual. I cannot say enough great things about Fitch Electric https://fitchelectricinc.com/ They are professional, reasonably priced and are on-time and on budget. Thanks Lucas and your team at Fitch Electric 5 out of 5 star recommend ! I only said 4.5/5 on the value only because it's expensive regardless so this isnt a knock on Fitch just the whole generator world and PGE in general. I wish we didn't have to do this but in these times over the last several years WE KNOW that PGE will be shutting off power and this is just what we have to do. I love Fitch! Will use them again 100% in the future."

Communication was clear and he set expectations well in advance of everything he did. Excellent experience and I would hire again for sure!"

Very very pleased with the work that was done!"

In both cases, Jaime was meticulous, reliable, and highly skilled, ensuring the projects were completed on time. Beyond his expertise, he is an honest and trustworthy professional. I would gladly work with him again on future projects and highly recommend his services."

"I hired Aaron Murphy Electric to install a 240v EV charging outlet. Aaron was quick and concise, very easy and friendly to work with and very flexible with timing. Install went extremely smooth and quick, and the price was better than I was expecting. Very courteous and left the area more clean than when he arrived. I would definitely recommend him again, and will be calling for any other electrical work I need done."

"We'd been worried about our aging electrical system and used Angi's to find a few companies to get estimates from. Omri came and gave us our free estimate. He was very thorough and took his time to explain everything to me and my grandmother. He let us know what the most vital upgrades were (replace and flip subpanel out of a closet, replace feeder wire from the main panel to the subpanel, and replace the outlets in the bathrooms with GFCI outlets). Omri sent us an estimate and because of his thoroughness and thoughtfulness we decided to go with CA Electrial Group 24/7. We were told it would take 2-3 days to get the permit from the city and that all of the work would be done in a day. When we received the quote, we accepted it (subpanel replacement and installation, feeder wire from main to sub panel, drywall repair, GFCI outlets, and pulling of the permit) and paid the $200 deposit) We were able to schedule the work to be done the following week. The day of, Ricky came & replaced the subpanel & worked with another worker to replace the feeder line. They both seemed very skilled and were very careful with their work. They took a lot of time to make sure that everything was done well and correctly and cleaned up everything. They had not been aware of the need to also replace the 3 GFCI outlets, as they do not have access to the quote. They replaced them nonetheless, though. Benito came in the next day to complete the drywall and stucco patch work and painting. They all did AMAZING work! The only areas of confusion came down to the city permits & timing of the job. Upon our initial meeting, we had been told that the work would all be completed in a single day & that the company would handle the permits. After all of the electrical work was completed on day one, we were informed that the drywall work could be scheduled whenever we wanted it. We spoke with Omri again about the original discussion about the job taking just a single day and he apologized and scheduled the drywall work for the next day. What we did not know, though, was this meant that we could no longer have the city come inspect the work in order to get the permit as all of the work had now been covered up. Before paying the bill my grandmother wanted to make sure that the city would be coming in to complete the inspection, as we had discussed both prior to the work being done and while the work was being done, but we were then informed that if we wanted a permit, we would not only need to pay an additional fee (city fees - not mentioned in the original discussion) & have to have the drywall cut out and replaced again. It may have been an issue of miscommunication, but it was a bit of a frustration and left my grandmother feeling a bit worried about being up to code and feeling a bit upset about the whole project. Omri did everything he could to make it right and to work around our schedule to get the inspection and new work done, so we do appreciate this, but wished this had all been made more clear from the getgo. Overall, the work they do is fantastic, but would highly suggest that you keep track of everything discussed as many details seem to fall through the cracks. * It should also be noted that the company changed the quote after the fact to include the new fee that had not been discussed in the original meeting and quote. The original quote we received on 7/9 had charged us $0 for pulling the permit, but we can no longer access this version of the quote as they changed it on 7/19 after my grandmother had requested a copy of the permit."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Menlo Park, 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.
