"Ryan came out a few months before to fix a lamp on the front lawn.  Very professional and fixed problem quickly.  

More recently our house had a lightening strike, knocking our half the circuits.  I sent Ryan an email at 11:00 PM and he responded in 15 minutes that he would be out the following day.  He came right on time, repaired the issues that needed to be repaired.  He did not have all the parts on his truck and asked if he could pick them up and finish up the following day.  My family was heading out on vacation the next day and I told Ryan we could finish this up when we return.  His response was "lets get this done before you leave".  He went out, got the parts, returned in a hour and finished up the job.

Ryan helped make a difficult time a little more manageable.  Really appropriate it and highly recommend then!

"We called mid-morning and got an appointment for the same afternoon. The technician who came was professional and knowledgeable. While repairing the furnace, he tested other components and explained what he was doing. This was our first experience with GAC and we would use them again in the future."

"Alex listened to my description of the electrical problems I wanted repaired and then efficiently diagnosed the problems and provided an estimate for the repairs. I agreed to the estimate and Alex did the work as proposed. I definitely recommend this company and specifically the electrician Alex. Thank you, Scott Stangle"

"The All-In Electric team was amazing. Very thorough and very fast running an outside line (underground) to my shed and installing sub-panel for lights and outlets with room to grow as needed. I would definitely hire again."

"Everything went great. The only reason I didn't give an A for quality is that they had to leave holes in my wall and ceiling tile to run the speaker wires. I did agree to this after it was explained how they would have to run the wires, but I haven't figured out how to fix the ceiling tile yet. So I would say it would be nice if that weren't the case and that it wasn't so destructive to do the work and/or it would be repaired as part of the service offered. I would still highly recommend."

"Russell was prompt, very polite and helpful. He explained everything and pointed out where my old rowhouse differs from newer codes. (Grandfathered until I want to sell.) There was an upsell on an annual plan, but it will save some 15% on some planned upgrades, so I went with it. Dawn, office support, also was friendly and pleasant to work with. She gave me a follow-up call next morning after my multi-company query through Angie's. My inquiry detailed list of three small repairs did not get other takers, so no real cost comparison, but I feel the price was fair-- $500 for about 2 hours, including the plan and dispatch fee."

"The Tech/owner was awesome. On time, polite and very knowledgeable. I had several outlets and overhead lights that suddenly stopped working. He found the problem and fixed it in less than an hour. Repair cost was very reasonable and he didn't try to push anything else on me. At 73 and 100% disabled Veteran I wasn't able to do the physical part of the job. He had to climb over storage tubs to get to the electrical panel which would have been nearly impossible for me. If you want a top notch electrician Wolf Electric is who I would recommend. No BS, polite and actually early for the appointment that was set up less than 24hrs. earlier. Also called a little earlier to check to see if it was OK !! Great job Alex and Wolf Electric !!!!!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Severn, MD

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.
