"I would recommend LT Generators. Their customer service and installing team is fantastic. I had many questions being new to owning a generator and they answered all my questions in great detail and in less than 24 hours. Once the team of installers arrived they got right to work. They were very courteous and respectful to me and my property. I would hire LT Generators for again without thinking twice. I highly recommend them."

"Because we have had such positive experiences with Power Up in the past, we hired them to repair the wiring in our house. Gabriel was able to schedule our job very quickly and send our regular crew that is familiar with our house. It turned out to be a much, much bigger job than originally anticipated, in large part because the work the previous contractor (who is not on Angie's List) had done 15 years ago was unsafe. We feel that the price for the job was extremely fair given the scope of work. There were 3 crew members every day who showed up on time, were very professional and conscientious, and left the area clean at the end of the day. We recommend Power Up very highly!"

"They were very helpful with a small project I did. I had them install a transfer switch for my Generator. They gave me some good recommendations and saved me extra money that I don’t need to spend on. Would definitely use them next time for other projects. Good communication back and forth on what needs to be done. Price is reasonable."

"Mitch was an exceptional find. I called around town asking to take a look the existing electrical panel assuming I had to replace the whole thing for a new one, but Mitch was able to troubleshoot and determine the exact root cause and saved me the headache of permitting, dealing with the meter spot location and a huge expense. Thanks to him for working with me and he is as good as there is! I’ll be using him as my number 1 choice going forward for any electrical issues I encounter in the future!"

"Overall, I was very satisfied. They were busy, so it took some time to schedule the work, but the issues were not urgent. I called Garafano Electric for an estimate in late December. They came out to provide an estimate within about 10 days. The work was scheduled on a date convenient for me, several weeks later. I needed them to come out for a follow-up visit on the faulty lighting circuit and they scheduled that very quickly. They were able to identify an intermittent problem with one of the circuits and came up with an effective solution. They also recommended a good wireless switch and came up with a clean way to install it without cutting into walls or the ceiling. They did the routine work - replacing outlets and switches - very efficiently. The pricing seemed very fair. I purchased the parts myself and provided them. They offered good options in a couple of situations where unexpected conditions were discovered. I would definitely recommend them and use them again."

I called multiple service provider but he was the best in business and explained the work what he is going to do and listened to my inputs and shared his view as well. He and his team did the job professionally without any issues. I would strongly recommend him for any electrician work apart from EV charger installation"

FAQs for generator repair projects in North Hollywood, 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.
