"Fitch Electric installed a stand by generator for my home. They were able to get a generator for me within a few weeks. Generac is running 20 weeks behind so I was happy to be able to have it installed much sooner. The process was smooth and professional. They were available to answer any and all questions that I had, so I was very pleased with their service."

"Project: Install an Electric Vehicle Charging Station Professional, efficient, honorable and excellent service. I contacted Limon Electric to install a 220v outlet and level 2 EV charger in my garage. Decided to take a leap of faith and trust that this company would perform the work having never met the electrician in person. Juan came as promised and installed the outlet and charger without me even being home. He was efficient, cleaned up after himself and did an excellent job. Value for service very good. Could not be more pleased. Highly recommend!"

"Steven was able to complete the job the same day and even offered to patch our existing hole in the drywall where we had the electrical work done so we didnt have to hire someone else and wait for him to be able to finish the job once the drywall was done. His price was higher than a couple general contractor bids, but not by much and we had the peace of mind that the electrical would be done right by an electrician. Safety is always my concern with electrical work, and it was evident that it was his as well. Very personable, knowledgeable, and kept the area clean. We would have him back if we decide to move forward with other projects. Less"

"Excellent. Supervisor diagnosed issue same day I called. Work quoted and team assigned following week. Team were all pros - explained each step, asked the right questions, protected floors & walls, cleaned entire work area before leaving. Cut power only to the rooms involved - rest of house fully functional - including A/C!! Rewired entire back of house in 2 days. Drywall repair expert equally efficient - matched paint and wall texture perfectly, very creative wallpaper repair - left all 4 rooms better than the original. I cannot recommend this company more highly - and will not hesitate to call them again."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Hercules, 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.
