"Fantastic! We hired Nasr Electric to replace our ancient 150 Amp breaker panel with a new Eaton 200 Amp panel (along with a new service cable, new ground electrodes, and a new water ground connection); run 4 new dedicated lines (for an EV charger, the refrigerator outlet, and new GFI outlets for our bathroom and outside deck), and install an outdoor EV charger. Joseph pulled the required permits prior to the job, and he and his crew arrived on schedule and completed all of the work in one day. They were all very friendly, respectful, and professional. Joseph answered all of my questions, and the work site was left in pristine condition. The price for job was very reasonable -- much much less than the first electrician I contacted, and I couldn't be happier with the result. I highly recommend Nasr electric. They do outstanding work at very reasonable prices!"

"Since day one, Deybi and his crew have been able to solve any electrical problems I've had and provide efficient and effective solutions at a proactive level, long term result. First time working with them was due to our previous preferred electrical contractor failing to help with complex electrical problems at a commercial space (office space), so after some looking we found DBG Electric. They were able to help with setting up light switch wiring, installing cubicle receptacles and replacing fluorescent light ballast along with breakers. At another commercial site, we needed help with installation of power packs, emergency lights and flood lights. All of these were installed in a high ceiling area, which was no problem for DBG. They've also helped with lighting a my personal residence, ranging from kitchen light replaced with LEDs to recess lighting needed in the basement. I highly recommend using them, specially with difficult projects that require some ingenuity."

"I contacted Sci-Fi Homes in connection with installing a whole house generator last year while doing a major renovation on my home. My initial reason for contacting them was to "pick their brain" on the process as I didn't think I could afford their services. Marshall was quick to respond and was totally professional and courteous during our initial meeting. He provided an extremely detailed quote just a few days later. The price was very competitive and combined with their overall professional and friendly demeanor awarding them the job was a no-brainer. <br /> <br /> Marshall took on the added responsibility of coordinating with the contractor, propane provider and the electric company as well. Everything came off without a hitch. Our fuse box situation was a particular mess so we decided to have Marshall and Tony do that job too, because of how well the generator installation went. Once again, a first class job! We had to fire our contractor 8 months in to a promised 4 month job and we found ourselves in a real bind. All facets of that project had been started but nothing had been completed. <br /> <br /> The electric work was a real disaster. Once again, it was Marshall and Tony to the rescue! It took them a week to figure out what had and had not been done, what was not done correctly and get it all straightened out and working. They really went above and beyond. I will be using Sci-Fi Homes for all of my electrical needs from now on. They are simply the best!"

"I contacted S&S this morning and Dave was very patient as I tried to explain that other "helpers" had tried to replace the switch and the GFI outlets. Last night my daughter heard a "pop" and the lights went out! He and Steve were very timely. They arrived right within the window and began trouble shooting. Within 45 minutes they were able to assess where the electrical mistakes were (from the previous "helpers") and fixed my problem within the hour. They were professional and very personable. I found myself thinking about any other electrical work I need done. If I do, that's who I'm calling :) Great job guys! You saved us from having horrible morning routines in the dark!!"

This generator was installed on the side of a house.  The window had to be replaced to allow for the generator to be placed in this location.  The window was made to not open per code.
We installed this 14kW generator to power the whole house.  We used load shed modules to be able to save the customer money by using a smaller generator than would have been needed if we didn't use the load shed modules.

"I hired another electrical repair company to fix the issue and they royally botched the job. Diego came by for a free evaluation and not only gave a detailed summary of what work was needed to fix the botch, but while he was there he went ahead and fixed the original task the other company was supposed to fix."

"OH MY GOODNESS! WE ARE SO HAPPY!!! This was just such an EXCELLENT service from every respect! First, FH Furr was responsive - they set us up with an appointment right away. They said that they'd give us an estimate and we could decide what we wanted to do from there. We had SUCH a hard time finding anyone that would come out/was available, so this next-day service, early, was just what we needed. We had excellent contact from them - from a confirmation text saying they'd see us the next day, then when we called dispatch first thing in the morning once everyone knew their schedule, they knew where we were in the queue - window of 10 til 1300. They called to say when they were finishing the first job, then when they were 20 minutes out. We got a picture of our tech, so we knew who to expect. When Steve arrived, he was professional and explained what the first part of the service would be, then what to expect based upon what he saw. He was qualified to work both the electrical and the generator side of the problem, which was EXCELLENT because the other techs here had been able to work only one side of it and not even look at the other. Since it was a combo problem, this was exactly what we needed. Steve was courteous and professional - he put on slippers every time he came in, wore gloves and mask. Which is quite an ask in a house that's been sitting with no AC for 4 days. // then, the actual quality of his fixing the problem. He walked through everything, explaining as he went what connected to what, what it did, where things seemed to go wrong ... all this was EXACTLY what I needed because I wanted to know so I would be a little smarter (this is the second time it happened). I learned a lot, followed his explanations because he put it in terms I understood, and I really felt like he cared that I understood. As it turned out, there were multiple things wrong - loose connections, which burnt a post and a wire, which prevented the signal from getting where it should, etc etc. He explained both the panel and the generator side of things as he fixed it all. Then, in ultimate customer service, he walked through and made sure the whole house turned back on - making sure the AC worked, that all switches were powered, and that everything was as it should be. Then, he made the whole system go through a cycle - making sure the power properly switched from utility to generator, that everything came up on generator, then that everything released back to utility and the generator shut down properly. I was VERY IMPRESSED with the whole experience. We're also now part of their annual service plan. I tell you, we could not be happier. I highly recommend them."

"The job went very well. The repair person (Brian Jr.) was friendly, efficient, and professional. The replacement was a straightforward task that he completed quickly and neatly. He did not mind that I watched him (I have a great curiosity about how things work), he explained why expansion tanks are used and how they fail, and he answered all of my questions. Based on some very limited online price research I had done for expansion tanks, I felt perhaps TriState’s cost for the tank itself seemed on the high side, but I had no strong basis to consider it completely unreasonable. At the same time, although I did not choose TriState for this reason, I was able to save $50 on the job with a coupon from Angie’s List."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Mount Vernon, VA

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.
