"Sebastian is amazing! He does not pull a bunch of stupid contractor games to jack up the price and destroy your bank account. He's reasonable. He gets the job done quickly. He's very reassuring. He is definitely one of the few, good, ethical contractors out there. He does not try to scare you into using services that you don't need to just to charge more. He did an exquisite job in 1 day, updating my electrical panel. The city inspection was a breeze. The man does quality work. If you hire him , you will be glad you did. I could not be happier. Thank you Sebastian! Julie"

"Fast response, competitive, with a reasonable schedule. Very impressed with how quick Derrik and team installed our generator hookup, from submitting the project in the Angi app to completion, such an easy process! Now we’re all set for winter. He even took the time to test run the generator and answered all the questions. Highly recommend! Thanks CAS Pro Service!"

"Over the years, I accumulated five electrical-related jobs at my residence that I had continually put off addressing. I finally made the decision to hire a professional. This is when I connected with Josh from Clear Electric, who promptly provided an estimate and scheduled the work. Josh dedicated the better part of the day to completing each project on my list. The scope of work included the installation of a ceiling fan, an external sensor light, an internal sensor light, garage ceiling lighting, and interior kitchen cabinet strip lighting. Throughout the process, Josh worked diligently and efficiently, delivering perfect and professional results for each task. I am extremely grateful to have discovered Josh Bower and his company, Clear Electric. With his extensive background in electrical contracting, Josh ensured that everything was done correctly the first time. If you are seeking reliable and high-quality electrical work, I wholeheartedly endorse Clear Electric to support your p"

"Haven't done the work yet as when electrician arrived we changed lighting plan and have to wait for materials to be delivered. Electrician suggested we wait on 2nd project as it would save us money if we did both projects at the same time. Very knowledgeable and professional."

"Wow!! For the last two years we’ve been dealing with an electrical issue that two different companies and a retired electrician couldn’t manage to understand. Dan from Liberty Power recognized that we were frustrated and desperately seeking a solution to our issue. He was professional, thoughtful and very focused on finding a solution. When the first couple of attempts at repair failed to produce a positive outcome, he continued to work until he found a solution and the lights came on. We are thrilled with his expertise, his positive attitude and of course, his ability to solve our issue. Great company!!! Great guy!! Great service!!"

"After having ur system assessed and some minor repairs and getting a quote from Isaiah, we had him replace/update all our switches and plugs. It was affordable with Emerge's financing and he did a fantastic job. He even chose white to match our recently painted walls and modern switches to make the house more up to date. He cleaned up the work areas and was a pleasure to communicate with. The experience couldn't have been better, thank you Emerge and thank you Isaiah! If anyone asks us to recommend an electrician it is Emerge :)"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Vancouver, WA

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.
