"I recently purchased a new dryer, but when it arrived, it wouldn't turn on. At first, I thought I had received a faulty unit from the store. However, the delivery man suggested that the issue might actually be with the outlet. Concerned about the situation, I called Aquarius for assistance, and they quickly sent David Schaeffer to diagnose the problem. I have to say, David was incredibly helpful. He efficiently determined that the issue was indeed with the outlet rather than the dryer itself. This experience marked my second time using Aquarius. My first encounter was for a plumbing issue they resolved for me earlier. I can't recommend Aquarius enough! Their team is always friendly and eager to assist. A huge thanks to David for fixing my outlet. Now my new dryer is up and running, and I am very satisfied with the service I received!"

At Adams Electric we are passionate about providing power solutions for you and your business. Experience for yourself why customers call Adams Electric "the best".

"In 2002, my 22 year old son suffered a traumatic brain injury while skiing. We built an addition on to our home to care for him 24 hours a day. At the time, his care required the use of equipment to keep him functioning. We had a generator installed for those occasions when the power went out. Many times this generator was needed and it kept my son alive. We had it serviced each year for $300. For 18 years we promptly paid $5,400 for service. My son died in 2018 and I kept servicing the generator because my husband had died from cancer in 2013 and I was trying to maintain the household and fearful of a gas generator in disrepair blowing up. In 2021, I had the generator serviced in the summer as I had continued to do, and 3 months later when a storm caused the power to go out the generator did not come on. I called ADAMS the next morning and was told that that shouldn’t have happened and they would send out a technician. The technician arrived a few days later and informed me that the generator was set to exercise “too high” and it had overheated and turned itself off. He reset it to the proper level and cordially assured me that all was now well and I was grateful. He was a very nice young man. I mistakenly assumed that this was a courtesy call to rectify the mistake of the previous technician who had set the generator too high 3 months before. When the bill for $135 appeared for the repair, I refused to pay it. I called many times and the one time I got through, I tearfully explained my long story to the receptionist, including the fact that if my son had still been alive, the broken generator would have ended his life. She said she was sorry for my loss and that she would take care of it. However, I continued to get bills and am now threatened with a collection agency and damage to my credit score. I am not worried about my very high excellent credit score. I have paid every bill I have ever I received all 68 years of my life and have raised 6 adult children to do exactly the same, as they are doing for all 15 of my grandchildren. I am paying this $135 bill and hope it goes right into the pocket of the technician who reset the generator properly but they probably fired him for telling me the truth. Do business with this company at your own risk."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Rice Lake, WI

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.
