"He said the damper on my Fridge needed to be replaced and said it would be $515.00 and that he'd be back in three days. Obviously playing me. That cost me $60.00 for ten minutes. The part is $102.00 retail. The install is nothing. Watch a few videos, nothing. The door had a rip in the rubber. He saw it, didn't even address it. I said I would have to think about it. He asked for his $60.00. They can make a nice living doing these quotes. He would have been laughing with all his buddies had I agreed."

"Kyle does a walk through with you every morning and evening to discuss what's happening and to show you what's done. At any time, you can show him if you are not satisfied and he will 100% fix it to your satisfaction. He is a professional roofer with 26 years of experience and he's a very friendly guy. He is one of the most honest people you will meet. Kyle is also a perfectionist and keeps a very close eye on his crew and gets on the roof with them and works as hard as they do if not harder. His crew is very professional also and no one goes without a shirt on the job site nor is cursing allowed. He also brings a porta potty to the job site and removes it when they finish. They are very thorough and lay down material to catch the debris and nails. When the job is complete, they even do several trips around the job site using a magnet to find nails. He also brings a porta potty to the job site and removes it when they finish. Trust me you get what you pay for!"

"Bear with me as this review is a bit long-winded, but I need to include some background in my review. Should you not read my review to the end, up front let me say that Wes, owner of Eagle Eye Electric, is a licensed master electrician with over a decade of experience, is very safety-minded in how he approaches his work, provides top-notch service, is patient and takes the time answer questions and explain what he's doing, is friendly and courteous, and charges a very fair price. On June 14, 2021 the outside disconnect (breaker box) and surge protector to my air conditioning unit exploded. I called the big name company who installed the surge protector for the air conditioning unit to come out and repair the damage. The big name company sent one of their HVAC technicians out the following day, June 15, 2021. He replaced the outside disconnect (breaker box). However, the new surge protector caused the disconnec (breaker box) to give off sparks when the AC switch in the inside disconnect (breaker box) was flipped on, so I switched it back off. The HVAC technician told me he wasn't an electrician and knew just enough to work on HVAC systems. He recommended having a electrician come out and install a whole house surge protector and also check his work (the HVAC technician's) while he was here. On the spot I called Wes, owner of Eagle Eye Electric, to see how soon he could come out and install a whole house surge protector. Wes has done electrical work for me in the past, so it was a no-brainer on who to call. Wes was busy when I called, but he took the time to speak with the HVAC technician and give him some advice/recommendations on how to stop the sparking. I'm not an electrician, so I didn't understand everything Wes told the HVAC technician to try. The HVAC technician ultimately disconnected the surge protector. When the AC switch on the inside disconnect (breaker box) flipped back on the air conditioning unit started running. Wes said he could come out the afternoon of June 16, 2021. I told him that was fine. He surprised me the next morning when he called a little after 8 a.m. and said he could be here about 9 a.m. Wes checked out the HVAC technician's work. He couldn't believe that the big name company's HVAC technician had incorrectly installed the new AC disconnect (breaker box) on June 15. 2021. He made a point of including a comment on his invoice so I would know what to tell the big name company when I called them about the quality of the work their HVAC technican had done (didn't wrap the ends of the electrical wires from the house with tape; connected the electrical wire from the house through the side of the disconnect (breaker box) - it should have been installed from the back. Had the o be doHVAC technician properly connected the electrical wires from the house through back the back of the disconnect (breaker box), he should of also added a connector (bushing) to keep the wires from touching the disconnect (breaker box). As it was he didn't do that for the elecrical wires connected through the side of the disconnect (breaker box). Wes also took the time to look at the fried diconnect (breaker box) and surge protector, which had melted onto the side of the disconnect. He could tell from the wires leading from the surge protector, that the way the surge protector had been originally installed in 2015 had been a code violation. The fried disconnect (breaker box) wasn't made to be double tapped, which is what had been done when the surge protector was installed. I'm lucky that the disconnect (break box) and surge protector hadn't exploded sooner, and possibly have burned my house down. Since the surge protector the HVAC technician tried to install didn't work, he said I'd have to call the big name company to have the charge for the device refunded to me. I didn't have a chance to do that until Wes had been here, done what needed to be done, and had left. I called the big name company about 11:30 a.m. I explained what had happened. Jean with the big name company took down the information and said their customer relations manager would get back to me. Wes didn't have to do it, but on June 17, 2021 the day after he was here, he called to follow up and see what the big name company had told me. I told him they hadn't gotten back to me yet. Wes recommended calling the big name company again and asking them to send a supervisor out to check the HVAC technician's work. A supervisor is scheduled to be out on Monday, June 21, 2021. We'll see if they do the right thing. Again, Wes is a licensed master electrician with over a decade of experience, is very safety-minded in how he approaches his work, provides top-notch service, is patient and takes the time answer questions and explain what he's doing, is friendly and courteous, and charges a very fair price. I can’t say enough good things about Wes and Eagle Eye Electric. I strongly recommend you put Eagle Eye Electric, (770) 584-5977, on speed dial. Eagle Eye Electric should be the first one you call when you need any electrical work done, instead of a big name company."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Coolidge, GA

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.
