"I have known Doug and his son Mark from On the Grid Electric for many years. They have done electrical work for myself, my family and friends as well as a number of my real estate clients. They are knowledgeable, dependable and honest. They make sure that everything is done correctly and meets or exceeds code. It’s why I don’t hesitate to recommend On the Grid Electric, LLC."

"He is extremely attentive to your needs . What he says will happen , does! He keeps all appointments and thoroughly explains what he plans to do. He is one of the most reliable, ethical , conscience businessman I have ever dealt with. I have recommended him to friends . He actually went out of his way to help Ill friends deal with their generator problems even though he had not installed it. He made arrangements for someone to fix the generator when he was not able. Highly recommended !"

"After already hiring two electricians to separately come through my home and figure out why a circuit was repeatedly shorting, I reluctantly called Philip to give one last electrician a shot before tearing into walls and running new wire to every light fixture in the house. Within an hour, he figured out exactly what the problem was and restored my previously faulty circuit. He was also able to schedule me within a day. Highly recommend!"

Customers say: Quality work

"Danny was very personable, knowledgeable, professional and efficient. Completed several projects. Unexpectedly a complex electrical issue came up with another contractor I had working on a different project at the same time. Danny stepped right in and solved/repaired the electrical issue for that project so there was no downtime on that project as well. I would definitely recommend DC Electric and use again!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Windsor Locks, CT

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.
