"Did a very professional and thorough job replacing our primary power box after a botched job and failed inspection by another electrician. Great communication arranged for all permits and inspection . Was on time and did exactly what he said he would do at the price quoted which was very reasonable. Hired him to do another job at our home due to excellent service."

"I'm so impressed with this team! Electricians are hard to find, especially for small jobs. I requested a quote Monday, and by Wednesday the entire job was complete. Not only were they quick, but the work was beautiful. For example, they were able to install a new, separate, light switch for a fan without putting any holes in my wall. I had planned to patch up at least 2-3, but they didn't need any. I still stare at it and wonder how they were able to do that. The pricing was much better than expected as well. I had a dream budget in mind, but figured I wouldn't find anyone offering those prices. They quoted me close to my ideal budget right off the bat. I can't recommend these guys enough. If you have a job, and wish the job was already done, call these guys. That's honestly how I feel--it's like a barely had time to say, "I wish..." and the job was already done. Thanks again!"

"The service provided was done professionally, knowledgeably, and quickly. Greg and his partner showed up on time. The only problem I have is that I paid the service charge ($125) in cash and was promised a receipt by email. It's been two days now, and I'm still waiting for the receipt."

Small jobs welcome

"Distinct came to my home to change out outlets and light fixtures. They helped me pick out beautiful fixtures that complimented the room and brought better lighting to the space. The electricians were friendly and professional. When they were done they left my house clean. Distinct was able to answer all my questions and the entire process was smooth. I’d recommend them to my closest friends and family. I won’t be looking for any other electricians to come into my home. I’d give 10 stars if I could!"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Sandy, UT

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.
