"They arrived on time, with a call before to let me know they were on their way. They quickly reviewed the work, changed the oil and provided other maintenance, including testing all the circuitry. Very professional and nice people. I would definitely call them again for any repair or annual maintenance for my generator. I would recommend them to my friends and neighbors as well."

"Our technician, Darwin, was excellent. Absolutely prompt and a complete professional. I had a list of projects that needed addressing in this almost 90 year old house. Some of these things required a great problem solving skills - it's not easy in an old house with many generations of prior owners attempts at wiring. He completely exceeded my expectations - non stop hard work and a very fair price. We will absolutely use Spirelli for any future electrical needs."

"Amazing work. I called late on Monday night, stating I needed help as half of my home was not getting power. Ken was able to come out next day and fix my breakers. He was prompt with timing, knowledgeable and friendly. He was able to walk my through what he was doing and why which is great as novice to home repairs. 10/10 will phone him again for all future repairs."

"We lost power during the recent storm. I made a few calls but only Patt responded right away. He was kind enough to come for a free estimate between his jobs on a very busy day after the storm. He gave me professional advice on what generator I should buy, then he made himself available on another very busy day on the Monday after the storm when I finally found a generator. He found a store far away that had the equipment needed, picked them up, showed up on time, did an absolutely beautiful installation, and brought electricity back to our home after 3 days so we could move back in with our little kid in a warm and pleasant home. Patt is absolutely a gem in this business. It doesn't happen often to find such a professional and passionate and responsible person. Someone who works 6am to 9pm on a storm day to help his clients. Someone who doesn't charge extra for this urgent and high-quality service. He could ask for two times the price and I probably would have had no choice but to pay him that, but he was fair, and his urgent work did not sacrifice the quality. We hope to use his service for many years to come. Thank you Patt!"

"Excellent work as always - this is our third time using Antonio and they always do a great job and clean up! We had a new panel installed with a switch for a new generator that I bought. They also ran a new circuit for my microwave which used to trip the breaker all the time. THANK YOU!"

"I am very pleased with the excellent quality of the work by Mikell Electric. Spencer installed a new fuse box, outside fixtures plus wiring. He was courteous, respectful and prompt. He took the time to explain the process, timeframe and answered all of my questions. I have already had him back again for another electrical project."

"I knew I needed to get a new circuit board because the old one kept blowing out. Antonio Ferrao sent his truck over within hours of my call and his men inspected my old circuit board and showed me the problem circuit breakers and even the discolored area around one which was heating up. They gave me a quote with 10% off if I could pay cash. I hired them. They came the next day, and kindly kept my generator on so I could have electricity while they shut off the main line to change the circuit board. They were fast, efficient, labeled all the new circuit breakers, and cleaned up completely. I would recommend them to anyone."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Pound Ridge, NY

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.
