"REVIEW: Went on Angi’s website to find a qualified, certified and licensed electrician to put in extra outlets in my garage, so I can plug in a refrigerator and a freezer without my breaker tripping. Almost immediately, Angi referred Buzz Electrical Service via email and via text message. It was quickly followed by a text message from Robert of Buzz Electrical introducing himself, and letting me know his availability to come out to look at my project and give me an estimate. Very quick and easy referral service that I will use again. Robert came out the next morning to look at what I needed to get done, some immediately, and some future projects. Before he came out, he assured me that there were NO FEES for him to come out, look at my project(s) and give me an estimate; some contractors require service fees just to come out and do an estimate. Robert looked at two different projects and gave me two separate estimates; I found both estimates very reasonable, even coming in below what I expected based on my internet research. I decided to do the additional outlets in the garage immediately, and deferred the one in the upstairs bathroom. Robert scheduled me the day after next. On that day, he came in on time as scheduled. He brought all his tools and materials for the job. One thing I noticed was how clean and meticulous he was with his work. He covered his work area and cleaned up afterwards. As he worked, he patiently explained to me what he was doing, so that I would have a very good understanding of the work he did, which may come handy years later should I have a need to know what he did then. After he completed the work, Robert showed me the four new outlets were working as he tested them while I observed. He plugged in the freezer and refrigerator in their individual outlets, now with each one having their own breaker switch. He also labeled my panel box for the new outlets. Overall, on a scale of 1 to 5, I give Robert 5 Star ratings on quality of work, professional conduct, timeliness, and reasonableness of service charges. I highly recommend him to all my friends and family and will definitely call on him again for any electrical projects."

"Huft Home Services replaced my regular HVAC company when the owners retired. Comfort Master had installed my system in 1995 so we had a 25-year personal relationship. Ed and Donna were still using hardcopy records. When I called Huft on May 12 and talked with Elizabeth, we were able to confirm and establish the status of my ongoing services. We discussed the 2 different areas of work needed, HVAC regular maintenance and an urgent plumbing service for a leaking irrigation valve system. We scheduled the irrigation repair quickly, but I was very disappointed to discover that the repair person was unable to do that work and found out that Huft actually did not work on irrigation. Fortunately I was able to find a provider who came out the next day and did exceptional work – I highly recommend Authentic Landscape/Salvador Gallardo for that work. However, rather than make a complaint, I figured I'd wait to see how the HVAC service went. That appointment was scheduled for a couple weeks later. Anthony was fantastic. He called to let me know he was running late from his previous job. Maybe it was just because I wasn't up on current services, but I am highly impressed that he was able to take many photos of my system and his work – and instantly email them and my invoice to me! He went over in great detail the status of the equipment and anticipation of potential repairs needed over time along with likely cost estimates. We also discussed possible replacements for when I decided I was ready for a new unit. I will certainly continue my maintenance with Huft, and not just because I'm prepaid for a couple more years of biannual services."

Customers say: True professional

"I highly recommend this company for all audio/ visual work that you may require. They are fast, efficient, and consummate professionals. Thomas, the owner, is a pleasure to deal with and handled the scheduling of my appointment with ease. Luckily, he was able to schedule a next day repair for me. Tom, my service repairman, was extremely knowledgeable regarding the service required on my DirecTV dish, and he repaired it without any issues. Further, the service and repair fee was extremely reasonable. Do not hesitate to have this company handle all of your audio/visual needs. I would most definitely hire them again in the future."

"I was pleasantly surprised when Alexis from Gubrud's Services responded to my Angi post the next day. She was very polite and clearly explained the services, and booked and later expedited my appointment to the same day. How great is that! When Ace arrived, he was very patient and friendly and walked me through what needed to be done. He completed the tasks, leaving everything clean and neat, within a couple hours. I couldn't be more pleased with his help. I highly recommend Gubrud's for electrical repairs."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Yolo, CA

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.
