"William and his apprentice installed my new 10000 watt portable generator hookup and they did a great job! They showed up early, worked non stop and showed me exactly how to operate the generator in an emergency. They also hooked up my generator transfer switch next to my main panel and rewired the circuits. They are fantastic electricians that I will he hiring again!"

"Trinity has been servicing my 20K Generac for 6 years and every January the tech would show up and service the generator. A few weeks ago a truck ran off the road and cut the utility pole in half pulling the electrical service off the house. I called Trinity and they came right out to make the necessary repairs. Now everything is in place and it looks better than before the accident."

"We were working since January to repair our swim spa replacing top side control panels, control boards, GFI to no avail. I researched on home advisor and Dave Honey responded immediately and came the same day and took two control boards to repair, but they were irrepairable, so he refunded us some money, unheard of this day and ge. Within a week he got a new control system and installed it and even knocked off $200, again unheard of. The swim spa works perfectly. He is reliable, fast and the price is great, and he guarnatees his work. This was a pleasan experience from beginning to end, Only wish we called him In January and saved six months of aggravation."

"So much YES!!! John called me back within one business day of my initial inquiry to give us a quote and explain the generator transfer switch install process. We set an appointment for which Bill showed up exactly on time. He was OUTSTANDING. He explained everything he was planning to do, answered our questions along the way, gave us status updates and even though our house wasnâ t the most cooperative, went above & beyond to put the transfer switch in a spot that was more challenging for him but more convenient for us. Top notch customer service. He walked us through how to work everything and simulated a power outage to ensure it was perfect. And it was. John Gambino Electric has new lifelong customers. Thanks John & Bill!!!"

"This was our second time having Glenn out to perform work. We had another contractor doing flooring installation and Glenn was going to have to turn the power off a couple times which would not have been convenient for the flooring people. We really appreciated Glenn being flexible and him willing to reschedule to the next day. Again, he was prompt and had all the materials needed to do the work. He was conscientious about code and load amounts when installing the emergency panel for our portable generator. He was very clean and neat with any mess he made while installing the outlets and ceiling fan. The fan was in our master bedroom and he laid a clean tarp over the bed and carpet before he started. The small holes he made to install the ceiling fan were patched with spackle and are not even noticeable. He even reviewed with us how to operate the fan/light and change the bulbs. Glenn is very personable and profession and very considerate of our home and property. We are very happy to recommend him to our neighbors and friends."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Pennsburg, PA

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.
