"The ArmyGroup owner, Florian, is the best. He went above and beyond my expectations. He fixed and completed a home project of mine that sat dormant close to a year due to my previous GC. I'm amazed at how the project came out and would recommend him to anyone. I will continue to work with him on future projects. Thanks Florian seriously you're the best!"

"Aaron the owner called us right back after I put in the message to Angie’s list. We setup an appointment for him to setup my new WiFi router. He showed up on time. He took his time to explain everything about our router and access point that he supplied. He set it up so quickly without any down time for our business. This is very important, due to we need our computers for everything in our business. It was just a painless time with him. He’s a very knowledgeable IT person and also very knowledgeable about our phone system and cameras and security system. We are so happy we found him and now have an IT guy that will help us if need his assistance. "

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I had an excellent experience with Max from Amex Electrical for my home electric vehicle charger installation. From start to finish, Max was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely efficient. He explained the entire process clearly, made sure everything was installed safely and up to code, and answered all of my questions with patience and expertise. All materials were provided, and the quality of the work was outstanding. The installation was clean, neat, and completed in a timely manner. It’s clear that Max takes pride in his work and truly cares about customer satisfaction. If you’re looking for a reliable and skilled electrician for EV installation at home, I highly recommend Max and Amex Electrical. Five stars all the way!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Palisades Park, NJ

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.
