"Our phone system went down after 3 1/2 days of other companies coming and saying we'll be back in morning i went on home advisor. Within 15 min i got a call back. Explained what the issue was. Service tech said he would clear his schedule and be here at 11. He showed up on time and had our phones up and running and a few other things done also. We definitely will be using them in the future. Thank you Inatel communications for your excellent service from all of us at Valley Brake"

"Albert from A and P Electric was great. I asked for something somewhat out of the ordinary and Albert was able to complete the job 100% as I wanted. Several other electricians basically said they would not bother, it was indeed a little extra work. I asked for something slightly exceeding code. I had him replace an old amp with a new 200 amp service with some tweaks I wanted that were more than the minimal code requirements. He is knowledgeable, hard-working and at a very fair price considering the extra work I asked for. He is also easy going and easy to talk to. I am glad to have found him, and will call him for any future electrical work I have. He used the highest quality equipment. I am totally happy with everything about it. Thank you, Albert!"

"They installed a back up generator for our house which would provide back up power to be able to operate the hole house if we lose electric power. The second night the power went out and the generator came on in maybe 30 sec's was great. They did the hole job in one day and the crew was very good, well done job. so far we are very happy, very good company to work with and help you."

"Hired David for a complicated chandelier installation and he absolutely delivered. This wasn’t a straightforward job, there were several tricky elements involved, but he was patient, communicative, and genuinely invested in getting it right. He worked with me every step of the way to make sure the end result matched exactly what I had in mind. The quality of his work speaks for itself, but it’s his attitude and attention to detail that really set him apart. Highly recommend without hesitation."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Reseda, 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.
