Some of the changes I mentioned earlier have been implemented.

We are now Shiloh Electrical Solutions LLC.

Also starting immediately is Service Fees. If we are coming on a troubleshooting call and your fix involves no needed parts and is completed in the first hour, then you will not be charged additionally. Basically, the service fee covers our fuel cost and one hour.

If we are coming to give an estimate, a consultation fee will be charged and taken off at the very end of the project completion. Please note…if we are providing estimates and quotes, we will not be discussing particulars of how the job will be completed until we are awarded the job. If we are not awarded the job, the consultation fee is non-refundable.

If we begin a job and during the process it is decided by the customer that they are going to finish themselves or get someone under the table to finish it, and it is necessary to call us back to correct mistakes or help pass inspections, we will gladly do so for a 10% increase on our normally charged rates, and a retainer fee of $100…..and the repairs and/or completion will be done to my standards. Don’t like it?? Then either let us finish from the get go or call someone else. Doesn’t matter to me.

There are a few other things coming, but they are currently not in place yet. Any questions, feel free to reach out.

Some big changes coming at the end of the month. We will officially become Shiloh Electrical Solutions LLC. We are phasing out the propane side of things.

The cost of the liability and licensing is not worth the effort to continue taking new work. It’s just not profitable enough. We will still offer winter startups for folks that regularly use us.

Another big change coming is the way we do bigger jobs that require bids and pay structure on those jobs. While we try our best to help people out, we are a business and have to make money to operate. Some folks like to take advantage of our willingness to offer bargains and end up cutting us out and having their uncle Johnny Bob or their 12 Mennonite Brethren friends take over.

The rest will be announced in the near future. Thanks.

Most times I don’t ever hear complaints about pricing on our work. But there are times you’ll encounter those that’ll nickel and dime you to death, or try to barter and haggle in spite of saving money. So I’ve researched across the nation and especially Kentucky on going rates in the electrical and propane job spectrum. Here’s what I found, which can be sourced for any doubters.

PAY RANGES

Electrical Apprentice/Helper: $18-$30/ hour

Propane Apprentice/Helper: $25-$40/hour

Journeyman Electrician: $31.25-$50/hour

Master Electrician: $50-$125/hour

Electrical Contractor: 5-20% of job cost

LLP Propane Tech: $50-$100/hour

Electrical New Construction per square foot: ($7.50-$10) (*Depending upon extras beyond code requirements*)

Electrical Construction Remodeling per square foot: ($10-$17) (*Depending on several factors*)

Service Entrance Cost: $10/amp-$15/amp

These prices are based on the current residential market in 2025.

Just a little comparison for any that we’ve done work for that wants to measure up what you were charged against what you could have been charged.

I get this sometimes, and people are horribly confused on how it works.

“My (husband, uncle, friend, cousin….etc.) is going to do my wiring. Will you sign off on it when it’s inspected?”

First, if you’ve pulled a homeowner’s permit, it won’t do any good whatsoever to get someone to “sign off” on the job.

How it works is this: whoever pulls the permit is taking on the liability of that job. If it’s a homeowners permit, not only is the owner assuming liability…but by law they are the one required to do the work….not the half dozen Amish or Mennonite’s living down the road. If you get caught, it can get sticky.

The only other person besides a homeowner that is able to pull a permit is a licensed Electrical Contractor. And that contractor is required by the state to be associated with a Master Electrician (usually themselves) to supervise or perform the actual work.

So when you ask an electrical contractor to pull a permit, it is them who is liable. They are putting their license and liability insurance on the line. And according to State law, all electrical work done under a permit that requires inspection that is not a homeowner’s, requires supervision of that work by a master electrician.

Can you hire a licensed electricianor contractor to check over your work prior to inspection? Yes. Ive done it many times. But unless they pulled the permit, which requires them to at least supervise the work, they aren’t going to be liable.

And just so you’re aware, these inspectors arent stupid. Every one of them will tell you that they can pick out an electrician job over a homeowner or unlicensed job in mere seconds. You’re not going to fool them.

Just some FYI.

We are now doing our cool season testing, cleaning, and lighting pilots.

Does it help? You be the judge…

Today I did one for a yearly customer. Upon inspection and leak test, a propane leak was discovered both inside and outside. The leaks were repaired, the unit cleaned, and the system placed in operation. That yearly appointment that is most always between $65-$100…depending on location and work needed…could have very well saved a tragic situation from happening. At the very least it saved money.

And talk to any tech or manufacturer about how much more efficient a unit will operate if cleaned regularly. That also saves money and aggravation.

Fall is upon us. Time to start making preparations to get those heaters and fireplaces in working order.

I’m starting yearly system checks, leak tests, and cleaning of pilot orafices, thermocouplings, and burner assemblies. Plus we get your pilot going.

If you’re interested, now’s the time start scheduling. Message me for questions, info, or to schedule.

I hear a lot about home owners permits…and what is and is not allowed.

This is based off state websites to answer those questions:

“In Kentucky, a homeowner can obtain an electrical permit to perform electrical work on their primary, single-family residence, provided they own the property and intend to live there full-time. Homeowners cannot get permits for rental properties, vacant properties, duplexes, or mobile homes. A homeowner's electrical permit affidavit and a standard permit application are required. The applicant must also certify they will perform the work themselves and not rent or transfer the property for at least 12 months from the date of completion, and they must reside in the premises for the same duration.”

It must be a residence, not an out building, garage, barn, etc. Mobile homes used to be covered, but in the last year I’ve personally heard inspectors tell callers they must have a licensed Master Electrician. Some may let it slide….but most will not.

I have been hearing talk that home owners permits may soon be phased out. We shall see.

Now you know.

Tax time gives folks a chance to see what the previous year looks like from multiple directions. We had a solid year in 2024. Between both trucks, we logged over 10,000 miles…worked for 74 different people, and on 86 different jobs. Thank the Lord for His blessings and everyone that gave us an opportunity.

People wonder why hiring a licensed tradesman costs like it does. I can’t speak for all trades, but I am a licensed master electrician, electrician contractor, propane technician, and Generac installer.

In order to maintain my licenses, I pay $500 per year. I pay $1800 per year on general liability insurance. Plus I go through 18 total hours of accredited CEU training every year that’s mandatory.

In order to become licensed, I had to apprentice as an electrician for 8 years, and pass a test only 10% of applicants pass on the first try…most take 3-4 attempts. I worked in the propane field for almost 3 years on the job and went through hours of quarterly training for that.

Then there’s the specialty tools required to do the work and the dangers involved with the work itself.

Hopefully that helps folks understand why it costs to get someone that’s licensed and insured.

If you’re looking for a great backup heat source during those power outage situations, this type propane heater offers a safe alternative. It can be assembled to be freestanding or wall mount. It will run around 8-10 hours on a full grill propane cylinder if you don’t want to run an actual propane line to bigger cylinders or a tank….and requires no electricity. Definitely a quick and affordable option.

Contact me for more information.

As of today, January 1, 2025, Kentucky has now adopted and is operating under the new 2023 National Electric Code and no longer the 2017. This means both the 2020 and 2023 changes are implemented with exception of a handful that are being delayed a few months for suppliers to get prepared.

Any new work will fall under these changes and there’s several. Contact us with your electrical issues or projects and we will make sure it’s compliant.

There’s definitely some brutal cold incoming for the next foreseeable future beginning late weekend…possibly threatening of ice.

Please don’t wait until the day of its arrival to make preparations on testing or checking main propane heating systems or to install a backup propane heater. You need to be acting right now.

Call us and we will work you in.
