"Joe Gamache is always prompt, courteous, and professional. I was fortunate to meet Joe back in the ice storm of 2008, when he was able to properly connect a generator and get my family safe during the long power outage. He turned down payment, saying "I just want to help your family stay warm." He has come back several times over the years for different issues and upgrades, and has made sure everything was functional, clean, and code compliant. Joe is a caring, expert, and meticulous electrician - while his prices are very reasonable, he is worth his weight in gold as the best electrician you may ever find!"

"Dave Maynard was excellent. He was on time, and did what he said he'd do, and for the price he said he'd do it for. Very pleased with his work, he arrived with everything he needed to do the work and once the work was started he didnt stop til it was done. Highly recommend Dave for electrical/electrician work."

"Call this electrician to fix a blown circuit. Recommendation was to replace an outdated and weak panel. New panel and better circuit breakers were installed as-well-as labeling all breakers (not done on the old panel!). The work was done quickly and with zero problems since. I would call this guy again for any future work needed."

"Great guy, fantastic work at a very fair price. Preston went above and beyond what was required in all phases. Preston did all the electrical, new panel, lighting, etc. for my basement refinishing. Ultra responsible, on time and honest. He keeps you informed and in the loop along the way which is important for larger projects like mine. I promise you will not be disappointed in hiring Preston for any of your electrical work. He's now my go-to guy for anything electrical."

FAQs for generator repair projects in West Brookfield, MA

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.
