"I canâ t say enough good things about this company. Terry was responsive, performed quality work and handled all inspections. We rewired our home updating from knob and tube electricity to bring the electric up to code. It was an overwhelming project for me to think about and Terry made this experience so easy. He has a contractors license so could repair the walls after updating the electric wiring. In addition to the inspections this was a such a smooth experience and great price point for all the work included. Iâ m so happy we lucked out with this company and would recommend him to all my friends and family."

"It is weeks like this that make me so happy to have had Fitch Electric install a generator at my house. I had them install an EV Generator a few months ago and bit the bullet for the generator knowing this summer would be HOT and PGE would be shutting us down as usual. I cannot say enough great things about Fitch Electric https://fitchelectricinc.com/ They are professional, reasonably priced and are on-time and on budget. Thanks Lucas and your team at Fitch Electric 5 out of 5 star recommend ! I only said 4.5/5 on the value only because it's expensive regardless so this isnt a knock on Fitch just the whole generator world and PGE in general. I wish we didn't have to do this but in these times over the last several years WE KNOW that PGE will be shutting off power and this is just what we have to do. I love Fitch! Will use them again 100% in the future."

"Submitted a request for repair on Angi. Brian called me within 2 minutes of hitting send and routed his technician, Gates to my home with a 1 hour window. The technician diagnosed and fixed the problem quickly and efficiently. In fact, I will likely engage Hamilton Electric for 1-2 more projects in the near future. Communication was good. Pricing was communicated in advance. Technician was prompt and professional. Thank you Brian and Gates! Now we can have coffee again! "

"Fred came to fix my attic fan which was broken in multiple ways. He explained to me exactly what the problem was, responded quickly to both texts and calls, and fixed our problem within the timing that we had originally discussed. He was exceptional from top to bottom and I intend on relying on him in the future if we have other issues."

"Bought a 1928 house, and the electricals needed to be upgraded to 2022 load level. The work involved upgrading panels, conduits, wiring inside and outside the house. Adding circuit breakers and load balancing. Nery and his team really deserve a shout-out for their promptness and clean work. They guarantee their work, are licensed and a delight to work with(very respectful). Nery and the team advised me on the best approach to everything electrical and then some. Lastly on prices, Nery provided the best quote I got and broke down the job by priority, which made things even more affordable. Did I already mention that these people are a delight to work with?! :) Thank you for such a professional job Nery!"

"Excellent. Supervisor diagnosed issue same day I called. Work quoted and team assigned following week. Team were all pros - explained each step, asked the right questions, protected floors & walls, cleaned entire work area before leaving. Cut power only to the rooms involved - rest of house fully functional - including A/C!! Rewired entire back of house in 2 days. Drywall repair expert equally efficient - matched paint and wall texture perfectly, very creative wallpaper repair - left all 4 rooms better than the original. I cannot recommend this company more highly - and will not hesitate to call them again."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Pleasant Hill, 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.
