"I purchased a $399 electrician for a day deal. Two people arrived to reduce the overall time and did all the installations in a few hours. I was pleased with their work and purchased an additional deal ($39) from them for a much smaller job a month later. I would definitely use them again.

"Mike, the Raynor technician, showed up on time (and the office kept me very well informed of arrival time). Mike was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. He explained exactly what was causing my electrical problems and offered four different options (with quotes) for repair. I chose not to move forward because the expense didn't justify the issue (a personal choice of mine), but I must say that I will certainly hire Raynor in the future. Great company!"

Replacing an outdoor air conditioner with a high efficiency, consumer reported top rated American Standard unit.  Level, wired properly, and completed beyond code and required standards.  Thank goodness for a team that cares and loves what they do AND our customers.
Great technicians who have amazing skill and are just good humans too.

"I called Ruban because my power had been going out  intermittently and the electric company determined that the problem was not theirs.  Dale got back to me immediately and came out the next day with his son D.J.   They found the problem very quickly and determined that the fault was with the breaker panel, as well as deterioration of the cable from the meter.  They determined that I needed to replace the ageing service, which I had suspected would be the case.  They scheduled the work within 3 days and I couldn't be happier with their work.  They took great care in making the new box fit into the opening  in my finished basement.  It was a tight squeeze, and I'm sure it wasn't easy, but they managed to do it without any damage or even a sign that work had been done.  The work they did on the outside was a pleasant surprise because they replaced the old weathered wood panel that the meter was attached to with a a nice new metal one, which was a great improvement aesthetically.  Dale took the time to explain what they did every step of the way, and why. He took care of obtaining the  necessary permits and arranged for the township inspection  of the completed work.  I asked them to come back to move a light switch and install a new outlet, which they did a week or so later.  They had to go into the attic crawl space for the wiring and they had to cut into a newly painted wall to install the outlets.They did a beautiful job and left not a scratch or even a fingerprint.  I'm planning to have them back in the spring to install some outdoor lighting
 I'm so glad I discovered Ruban. They are a multi-generational family owned company.  Dale and D.J. are a great team.  They are knowledgeable and professional and obviously  take pride in their work.  Their service is outstanding and their pricing seems very fair.  I'm sorry that it took me so long to do this review. The holidays left me very little time to do a proper job.

"Lo-Ann called me as soon as my request went through on Home Advisor. We had some knob and tube wiring on the second floor and attic. Wayne, one of the electricians, came out to map the home out. This was a $325 service that was credited back to your account if you use them to make repairs. I highly recommend the service. Wayne mapped out every outlet and switch in the house. He then knew how every circuit was wired and how to fix them once the knob and tube was removed. The mapping took about 3 hours one morning and the knob and tube remediation took about 6 hours. We feel a lot safer now that this job is complete. Lo-Ann is great and she was in contact with me frequently via text and e-mail. There price for the job, I felt, was very reasonable. We would definitely use them again."

FAQs for generator repair projects in Riverton, NJ

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.
