"Originally I was planning to only have the HVAC disconnect updated and the outside and inside receptacles repaired, but did not know which electric company to use. After searching Angie's List for a highly rated company, I chose RK Electric. Made a phone call to RK Electric and described work to Carol, and at her request, followed up with pictures of the old HVAC disconnect, outside receptacle, and inside breaker panel. Carol called back the next day and let me know the old breaker panel was a brand that was notorious for malfunctions and could start a house fire. I agreed to have it replaced and scheduled the work. RK Electric sent out two excellent technicians, Hardy and Uriel, in order to finish the work in one day at my request. (We have a special needs daughter we had to plan ahead for the time the electricity would be off. Carol, Hardy, and Uriel were all very understanding and put forth their best efforts to accommodate us.) Hardy called about 20 to 30 minutes ahead of arrival so we could be prepared. Hardy and Uriel arrived on time and were always pleasant and professional. They were also very patient to answer any of my questions. Uriel repaired the outside/inside receptacles, as well as, remounting the outside receptacle making it a solid mount; replaced the HVAC disconnect panel; installed the door bell and door bell button. Uriel cleaned up the mess and kindly reviewed his work to make sure we were satisfied. Hardy installed the inside breaker panel, and while doing this had to disassemble another breaker panel and a junction block on the opposite side of the wall in the garage. He went the extra mile to tight loose connections in the garage panel. The work took longer than expected due to extra work to align the garage panel feed with the inside breaker panels. Hardy worked until 8:30 PM to finish his excellent work. Once the panel work was completed he did a great job of cleaning up the mess. I will definitely hire RK Electric again and will recommend them to anyone looking for quality electrical work."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Sherwood, OR

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.
