"I asked the company to come to my house to do maintenance on my generator. Eduardo came, serviced the generator and answered all (and there were plenty) questions I had. He was very patient with me and now I now, how to actually handle the generator. He did a great job and was so very pleasant. I would and will absolutely recommend this company and will be calling them if I ever need help with my generator. Thank you so much!"

"My outside left of house landscaping light would not come on after trying to install a replacement light. They determined my transformer was bad and gave the details of what model to purchase to replace it. Secondly I had to replace a salt generator for my pool but after **** so I couldn't get my pool lights to come back on. I tried everything I could think of but nothing worked. Luminous was very throw and determined it was my inside manual light switch that needed to be replaced. I would never thought about that since it was working fine before the salt generator was installed. I was very impressed with their expertise and thoroughness of their work. It was also helpful for me to go over all the steps that were taken in determining the resolution. I would use Luminous in a heartbeat again."

"Perfect! Couldn't have asked for a smoother, easier or better project. Contacted I & C Electrical Contracting Services and within hours, Andre called back and scheduled an appointment for that day to come and quote the project. Had the quote shortly after that - Andre actually called back to confirm we received the quote and asked if we had any questions he could answer. We hire I & C and continued to be impressed with Andre and I & C. Andre went over and above to help us with a separate but related part of our project. Without his assistance with the other supplier, it is doubtful that our generator would be operational as yet. Andre's work is extremely professional and he took the time to explain to us our new generator. Andre also cleaned-up the project site. We are so satisfied with the way the current project was handled by I & C and Andre that we have asked for a quote for an unrelated project at our home and have signed-up to have I & C perform the annual maintenance for the generator. Highly recommendI & C Electrical Contracting Services and Andre Williams."

"The finished my work the same day they came for the estimate working into the evening. Sgt Nicely and Justin installed replaced 4 light fixtures, moved a fixture to another location, repaired my outdoor coach lights and added three additional outlets. They cleaned up all of the debris and also explained all of the repairs and how to use my new fans. I would recommend them to my family and friends."

"FIT Electrical was great to work with and did exemplary work. Zack was able to come out the same day as my request for bids on Angie’s List. His bid was the lowest for replacing our electric panel, the riser to the house (FPL house connect) and the meter socket. We were having a whole house generator installed and they requested, last minute, that the panel be replaced. Zack was able to get our permit and set up a date with FPL in a timely fashion. He was a great communicator, sending me confirmation of permits given, FPL appointments made, and inspection times. He communicated with me by phone as needed and was always quick to respond. The electrician on the generator install complimented the work done by Zack and Elijah, noting how neat and clean the job was. It was seamless working with Zack. His skills and craftsmanship are exceptional. I would recommend him to anyone who needs electrical work done. He proved that what he believes he delivers: Great work at a reasonable price. "

"Amazing experience with the Blue Bear team in the recent installation of our HVAC system. From the early decision of whether to replace our old unit, or install a new unit, we were confident of the knowledge and trustworthiness of the service technician Andy. Upon arrival of the crew of installing â mighty men.â Which indeed they were, the job was completed professionally quickly, and all were very friendly and courteous. I canâ t say enough about how well prepared they were. Thank you, Clayton, Jacari, and Sandy. Kudos to their bosses, Brandon and Mike!! You have wonderful employees and that doesnâ t happen often enough. Thank you also for providing us with a generous offer which saved us a lot of dollars. My husband and I would definitely recommend to you this company! They are outstanding in their field, and we have worked with a couple of others. They beat them both!"

"had a technician there within a few hours even though I called on a Friday afternoon. I had a wiring issue and was afraid to let it go until Monday. Brad fixed it in minutes and didn't charge me. I recently had chemo and he felt like the previous electrician took advantage of me. I will definitely use his company moving forward"

FAQs for generator repair projects in Sarasota, 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.
