How Electrical Contractor Companies And Electricians Work




How do electrical contractor companies and their electricians work? It seems like very few people know. Most people are not really aware of the scope of work done by electrical contractor companies and their electricians. Perhaps only those who are working in the construction and building industries are in the know. This is quite a sad state of affairs because the truth is that the work done by electrical contractor companies and their electricians are so widely encompassing that all of modern society depends on them. Every person of any age benefits from the work done by electrical contractor companies and their electricians practically 24 hours a day.

The general work of electrical contractor companies and their electricians has to do with the design, installation, maintenance and repair of various types of residential, commercial and industrial electrical systems and electrical projects. All electrical parts & supplies needed in all those projects are to be provided by the electrical contractor companies, too. This proves how the work accomplished by electrical contractor companies and their electricians benefit all social sectors, both private and public.

The maintenance and repair work done by electrical contractor companies and their electricians include the upgrading and electrical repairs of electrical boxes, control panels, electric motors, electrical panels, concealed wiring, underground wiring and cable fault locating, as well as the installation, maintenance and repair of street lights, parking lot lighting, landscape lighting, commercial lights and security lighting. When electrical emergencies arise, electrical contractor companies respond at any time of the day or night with fully equipped bucket trucks.

Electrical contractor companies and their electricians can also offer electrical code consulting so that clients can avoid government electrical code violation. This can help clients comply with the 40-Year Building Inspection Program of Miami-Dade County in Florida, for example, where electric inspection is required every ten years for buildings that are aged 40 years and older.

Special services are likewise provided by electrical contractor companies and their electricians in areas vulnerable to natural disasters such as hurricanes. They can do generator installation and surge protection from surge protectors.

Electrical contractors whose work covers electric generation and power transmission from power plants to power substations, power facilities and power users are called line or outside electrical contractors. Hydroelectric energy and power plant equipment are included in the scope of their work.

Electrical contractors whose work covers all electrical needs within the residential, commercial or industrial property lines of clients are called inside electrical contractors. They handle home energy audits, heat tracing, electric meters, circuit breakers, junction boxes, fuse boxes and fuses, switches, electric wires, indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, recessed lighting, outdoor fans, patio fans, ceiling fans, ceiling fan repair and water heaters, among others.

Electrical contractors whose work covers low power are called voice/data/video (VDV) or integrated building systems (IBS) electrical contractors. They handle auxiliary power generators; power monitoring; emergency electrical & lighting systems; solar energy; wind energy; security systems; telecommunications systems including closed circuit television; climate control systems including fire detectors, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors and exhaust fans; and fiber optics

The work done by electrical contractor companies and their electricians make up the backbone of today’s society. They therefore deserve the recognition that is often not given to them.
