"The ballast in my giant walk-in closet died, and I had barely any light. Ceiling was tall little nervous about getting on a step ladder and couldn’t even remove the plastic part over the fluorescent bulbs. Looked up Angie’s list and found arizona’s finest electrical services.Ruben and Jerry came over originally to give me an estimate. Since I already had the track lighting, I wanted to put up they took a picture sent it back got an estimate and offered to put it up immediately. They were very friendly. We’re honest about costs and proceeded to go forward with my OK. There was a little trouble initially with the way the original person had buried some parts in the ceiling, but it wasn’t a problem for Ruben and Jerry. They persisted did what they needed to do and gave me a beautiful light again. They cleaned up afterwards. They were very friendly and courteous. They were also very professional. I love my new track lighting and I am going to use them again to change my dining room chande"

"I had reached out to five different Tesla approved companies, MaxCharged being one of them. It was the only company that had someone come out, Nick, to view the home and provide an estimate. Also, they were only one of two that even mentioned that my city required a permit and that they assist with that process. Nick gave me great information and answered all my questions. I approved the estimate, and the company kept me apprised throughout the permitting process. When completed, they scheduled a date and time. Nick and his colleague were both on time, thorough, and cleaned up after. The whole install took about three hours, and I was very pleased with the results. I'd like to recommend them both, as well as Emilie who was the one who kept me in the loop and assisted with a payment issue. Not a MaxCharged issue, it was my banks problem. You won't go wrong with having them install your EV charger!"

In no time he had the parts, replaced them and not only is the problem I had fixed, the electricity in the whole house now runs brighter and better than before! I will be calling Kelvin for any future electrical needs! "

"I waited 4 weeks for them to come down for a Generator install estimate. 8/21/23 and they were a no show...no call, no nothing. Horrible customer service. I wouldn't hire them to change a light bulb. And NO MR. ELECTRIC.....my appointment was scheduled for the MORNING and I kept the email that says that. If you'd like to see it.....send me your email and I'll forward it to you. There was NO confusion on my part. It was YOUR company that dropped the ball.

FAQs for generator repair projects in Tempe, AZ

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.
