"Outstanding- John worked had to install the video doorbell, couldn’t get to work? Had the Ring Tech folks on the line w/him for 30 minutes! He checked lines, voltage etc. way beyond the call of duty! Ring determined the kit may be defective! He still installed everything to enable me to merely switch out the kit once it came! Very professional, efficient and kind! The system came on line by itself 4 hrs Later!?"

"Quoted me $1,200 for running 3 wires to the kitchen and putting in an outlet. Wiring an existing outlet, and putting our existing dishwasher on one of the newly run circuits. Also included in the job was converting our stairway light to a 3way switch at the top and bottom. We had a ceiling fan on a switch in the bedroom and wanted a switch to control it from the other side of the room as well. The electrician cut 6 holes in the walls and ceiling to hook the bedroom fan to the additional 3way switch, and two holes in the stairway to hook that up. Each switch plate had drywall damage around the edges. After the job was completed I asked him if he was willing to repair the holes in the walls and he laughed and said "Not for $1,200 dollars." So I was left to repair the holes and the damage around four switch plates. He left me the four inch of dry wall but took the under laying four inch disk shiplap wood that I needed for the repair. After three days telling me he would drop them off snd not showing up I called him on Friday and he told me "Monday, I would come to repair the holes at no charge." Needless to say, he never showed up."

"Walker electric service did a very professional job. They arrived on time as scheduled and wasted no time getting started connecting electricity to our new storage building. They added three outlets and installed a large overhead light and switches for the light at both doors. Everything was left very neat and clean. We were very pleased with their service and would recommend them for anyone."

"Matt was very responsive via telephone.  I called a week or so ahead of time, to time it so I could be home during a day off from work.  I was trying to get the first appointment of the day, but missed it. However, that morning, he called to say he was ahead of schedule, and did I still want him to come as early as possible.  Very helpful. <br /> He quickly installed the new outlet I asked for in my garage, and figured out why an outlet in our family kept shorting out.  Yes, perhaps I could ultimately have done these things myself, but he did them quickly, efficiently, and right the first time. <br /> He also spent some time with me (at my request) to talk about my options for upgrades to my main electrical panel, advising as to cost, disruption, where digging would be required, etc. <br /> I would definitely call him again - and will be doing so shortly.  I have another small project that I'd like to get his skills working on, and that reminded me that I needed to do this review! <br /> <br /> <br />"

"Called GSM to quote a leaking roof and fix a mess another company left me with. The quote was fair so we hired GSM. They were responsive, had excellent customer service, completed the job timely and best of all- completed the job with quality work (no leaks!). I'm confident they did a wonderful job - I wish I hired them the first time and highly recommend them."

"Drew Darien with Walker Electrical went way beyond my expectations. He started remodeling two bathrooms changing out boxed fluorescence lighting and completely opened up our bathroom with LED recessed lighting. Drew added under cabinet lighting to our vanity and through our shower. Scones and pendants were added as well. His work was so precise that he went on to remodel our kitchen. As my lead on this project, Drew worked extremely well with other contractors. Drew was timely throughout every step of the project, hard working, on time and budget, and highly creative in his design. I wholeheartedly recommend Walker Electrical for any project. "

FAQs for generator repair projects in Sherrills Ford, NC

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.
