"Sweetwater Electric installed my Generac whole house generator. Part way through the installation, we discovered a problem with the landscaping and placement of the generator. Sweetwater was patient while we worked out the issue and resumed work the day after the landscaper left. Alan and Thomas worked well together as a team and finished the installation without a problem. I would highly recommend them for your Generac, or general electrical, work. They are conscientious, hardworking, amenable and clean up after the job is complete. What more could you ask for?"

"The job went fantastically. I am updating the wiring in my farmhouse built circa 1900 that had the pleasure of containing what looks to be the first generation of aluminum wiring. So, my 4 outlets in the bedrooms upstairs just weren't cutting it. I called Tom in to take a look and this is what we came up with: We'd be able to add outlets to the bedrooms so that there's more than one per bedroom (It came out to a total of 10). We'd be able to also add overhead lighting and the light switches for those to get just all around better lighting up there without relying on lamps everywhere. He'd also be able to fix the lighting situation in the hallway that was just relying on one light, and leaving the hall around the corner dark by using two fixtures instead. We also asked him to put in a recessed LED light at the bottom of our rather dark stairs so people would stop missing the last step and fall down them. And then we showed him the bare live wire the previous owners had left in spots in the walls and spaces that they were probably attempting to burn the house down with. Through this entire process, he took it in stride, and gave us different options based on what things would cost, time, and difficulty. He really wanted to make sure we got done what we needed, with a way that would work, without breaking the bank. With the age of the house and what we were looking for, he definitely had his work cut out for him. He quickly was able to schedule us in, and brought two more gentlemen along with him on the day of the project. They showed up promptly, and started early in the morning. Then they proceeded to go non-stop for the next 10+ hours. They moved through the list of tasks with precision and care. One of the lights, Tom warned us would be difficult to put in and he wasn't kidding. Watching him go through the process to get power to where he needed it... yeah. I'm glad I called him in. In fact, there was so much to do, they weren't able to finish it all in one day, and Tom ended up coming back again to finish it all up. But in the interim, he made sure we had lights where we needed it. The second day was used for getting the breaker panel cleaned up and the generator interconnect put in with an interlocking switch. Through it all, they were quick, personable, professional, and took care with everything they did. I'd hire them back without question and will be recommending Wire Works to anyone else that needs an electrician."

Customers say: Quality work

"We paid for 2 hours of electrical work with Streamline Electric via Angie's List (and it was an excellent price/deal). When I made the appointment, I was told that replacing my outdoor lights may take up all of the 2 hours, but that they would do their best to fit in the troubleshooting and repair of the 2 indoor lights. The woman I spoke with was very friendly and helpful - she even suggested that we remove the new outdoor lights from their boxes to help speed up the replacement time so that the electrician would have time for the indoor lights. The electrician did an excellent job and was able to replace all 8 of the outdoor lights and also troubleshoot AND repair the 2 indoor lights! We were so pleased and happy! One of the indoor lights was a chandelier hanging from a tall ceiling and it was a challenge to fix, but our electrician did it! We are EXTREMELY pleased with the work that Streamline Electric did for us and would call them again without a doubt!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Minden-city, MI

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.
