"I have been a customer for over 18 years at Henry Electric, but have been extremely disappointed with a recent bath remodel that I am trying to finish. I had an appointment with them scheduled on June 29th to complete the project. I am just waiting on the lights to be turned on! I got an email the day before saying they made a mistake and couldn't complete the work the next day and cancelled on me. I followed up with a very disappointed return email and crickets.....no response. 3 weeks have gone by since they cancelled and no one has attempted to contact me or return either of my emails. The electrician also failed the first inspection, and then made a big mistake of where he put the outlet which caused me more money to fix with my tile guy. I'm done with them. Will never hire them again."

"We hired Guardian to install our security system at our Washington, DC, business. The service and quality of the work was horrible. We had cameras and an alarm system installed; it was a relatively large system. They outsource most of the work to various vendors. They could not manage their vendors; what was supposed to take a week took two months. The sales rep did not return calls, and you could never get anyone in management on the phone. Random people would show up at unannounced times. The few things that an actual Guardian employee did were they made a huge mess of our newly remodeled office and were rude to our staff. We have offices in five markets across the US and have high security at each; we have never had such a poor experience."

"Mr. Colburn was extremely responsive to calls, text, and emails. He answered all requests himself, which is amazing. He analyzed the problem, offered professional advice, and a cost effective plan of action. Just as important, he kept to his word on timing and scheduling - he was always on time and did exactly what he said he was going to do. I will use again for sure and highly recommend for any of your electrical needs - small, medium, or large."

"I can't say enough good things about this company and it's employees. We were partially without electrics and of all weeks Thanksgiving. We were contacted within a day of going on Anjis List. The next day Bob came and diagnosed the problem and shortly after we had an estimate and day for the work to be done. We had to call a couple of days later with a hitch that was not their fault but they came back and did a wonderful job. Such clean and tidy work by Timmy. We have already recommended them to our neighbours. Thank you Lighthouse so much. Mike and Dot D."

"Junior and the entire I-4 crew were outstanding, really unparalleled. I have lived in Orlando 33 years and have dealt with many contractors of various types. This is the BEST contractor that we have dealt with. We did run into challenges and I-4 was extremely responsive, professional and went above and beyond to ensure that we were happy customers. I highly recommend this company without reservation! Craig"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Orlando, FL

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.
