"As years have gone by, it seems like the quality of service has gone down a bit. For instance, the last time I had a transmission flush, a hose clamp was not put back on (or fell off) and I lost all my transmission fluid on the highway - fortunately I was able to baby my car over to the side without getting hit. Another time I lost all my oil because the oil pan cap was not put on. Both times they were appalled and very apologetic and remedied the situation at no cost to us. Another time I had electrical issues that were intermittent, and I had to take it back many times to get the original issue fixed, fixing a lot of other stuff in the meantime that probably was not necessary. I guess that is not unusual with intermittent electrical issues, but it is still painful to put out money and not get something fixed. <br /> Apart from a few instances in the last several years, we have had really good service from them. It is a comfortable feeling to walk into a place of business and be greeted by name. They also provide transportation to and from work if needed, send out discount coupons in the mail, and give free car wash coupons every time the car is serviced. <br /> However, we just purchased a used car for from one of the major auto dealerships in town, and for grins I took my car to them recently for an oil change instead of Motoring Services. They were almost half the cost, and they washed and vacuumed the car as well!! I inquired and they also provide transportation to and from work, as well as providing a loaner car if you car is in the shop for more than a day. Although we love the people at Motoring Services and have known them a long time, we may end up shifting our business over to one of the "big boys" in the future if their costs and quality don't improve. <br />"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Richland, WA

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.
