"Great company to work with, on time and respectful of the property. We had an electrical short in outdoor landscaping lights that kept tripping the breaker. Raul and his coworker checked it, estimated the service charge @ $485 for two hours and got right to work. Troubleshooting throughout the wiring, identified several problems and made the repairs. Highly recommended."

"Giving Team Enoch 6 out of 5 stars here. Best experience Iâ ve ever had with an A/C service company. Youâ re not gonna get better pricing for service. Spoke to Miles over the phone yesterday. Told him a company from American Home Shield came out earlier at noon and diagnosed us with a failed compressor. Miles laid out multiple options with very competitive prices along with 0% interest. Took the time to really explain everything and educate me even though I could tell his phone was ringing off the hook. He even suggested calling a few more places to price compare because he knew his rates were more than fair. He then sent multiple competitive estimates to my email. When I explained my situation further to Miles about how a company from AHS left my house in a worse situation than it was before they came out, Miles offered to send someone out ASAP to look at what happened. The Team Enoch technician, Lupe, was on time, very professional, experienced, and knowledgeable. I watched him open my condenser as we both saw that the AHS company that came out earlier actually disconnected multiple parts including my compressor. Once Lupe hooked it back up my compressor worked fine, but was low in Freon. Lupe filled it up for me, cleared out the drip line from the attic, and double checked my supply and return vents. Everything was in perfect working order again. Lupe even gave me several pro tips to limit how often I might need service repairs. Felt like these guys actually like what they do and want to help me while earning an honest living for themselves."

"Allgood Electric quickly responded to our call to schedule a small electrical project (replacing a doorbell chime box). On the day of our appointment, the electrician called ahead when he was done with previous job to see if he could come on to our house. He did a great job checking all aspects of the electrical problem including testing the chime box transformer to see if it was still working properly. He communicated well, and quickly installed the new chime box. Great pricing for the service especially for the quality work that was done. We will definitely contact Allgood again with future electrical needs."

"Pete was very friendly and as accommodating as his schedule would allow (especially duing holiday season). I've had lots of problems with my kitchen light fixtures (I thought it was the ballasts) and was wanting to switch the fixtures to LED from the florescents I had. I expected it to be a straight forward, quick & simple job, but Pete finally figured out that there was a problem with one of my electrical lines. He spent some time in the attic having to make his way through lots of insulation, but he was able to repair the issue, change out the tombstones on my fixture, (allowing for LED bulbs), and make sure I had nice bright light in my kitchen again. I am very happy with Pete's service (and his willingness to take the extra time to identify the actual issue and repair it for me)."

"I hired Hamilton Lightning Rods to install lightning protection systems. I highly recommend them. I once had an electrician come to my home to do some unrelated work. When he saw the work that Hamilton Lighting Rods did, he said that was the cleanest rod installation he had ever seen. Again, I canâ t say enough good things about their installation, neatness, reliability and good old fashion customer service!! That kind of professionalism and pride in oneâ s work is really hard to find these days. Thank you for your excellent customer service! Lore H."

FAQs for generator repair projects in New Braunfels, TX

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.
