"David is excellent and very budget-conscious. In addition to the paint, which looks great, he spent at least 10 hours repairing damage caused by my flooring contractor (and somehow managed to make an entire houseful of badly damaged trim look nearly as good as new). All work was done professionally and at a very reasonable cost. Punchlist items were taken care of promptly.

"We Highly recommend OTL excavating! Tyler was extremely responsive, he came out and gave us a quote on the spot. He stayed in contact with us while we waited for the weather to cooperate. He brought his team and they worked hard to get the job done! They grated our huge circle drive, added multiple parking spaces, rolled it out, had our patio framed and ready. They worked fast and efficiently and got both projects done in 1 day! We cannot wait to hire them again for some more ground work very soon!"

"The technician arrived on time and promptly began diagnosing the air conditioning system. When freon levels were checked, it showed that the levels were showing an over charge of the system. When some of the freon was bled off, the numbers went all over the place. The tech cleaned the air conditioner using our own hose, which was not put back in its proper place after he was through with it. We were then advised that we would have to "wait and see" if their repairs would have any effect on the ability of the air conditioner to keep the inside temperature below 79. The tech left and advised they would be back later in the day, or the next day. We paid the bill for the service call and the cleaning of the air conditioner, even though our hose was used. That was $152. After several hours, it became evident that the repairs were having no effect. We waited until 5pm for a phone call regarding a follow-up. At that point we called Purcell, and were told that a tech would be out to follow up. When he arrived, he looked at the system again and couldn't uncover any new issues. We then asked for a quote for a new air conditioner/furnace. At this point, the techs savvy car salesman like skills were quite evident. In addition, they don't participate in the current Ameren Act-on-energy rebates, which would add up to $800. To make up for this, the tech offered a $100 off his total price for the estimates, which ranged from $3400 to $17000. Over the next few days, we had 4 different companies come out to give us estimates on new air conditioners. One company wanted to inspect the current air conditioner we had, to ensure that nothing could be done to the current unit. Upon inspection, it was found that the compressor of the air conditioner was not functioning, which would not allow any tech to get accurate freon readings. This explains why Purcell was receiving errant readings. My question to Purcell is this: What exactly did we pay 152 for? The tech should have recognized that a part as big as a compressor was not running, but he missed it. So long story short, we paid $152 to Purcell for them to mis-diagnose an air conditioner and for them to use our hoses to spray water at the air conditioner unit, and then not put the equipment away. We chose this company due to their good ratings on angies list, but I feel this review should serve as a red flag to any of you who are considering Purcell."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Tuscola, IL

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.
