A commercial electrician is fundamentally different from a residential electrician as both work in completely different environments and also have different training. Residential electricians are in charge of making sure the wiring and other electrical parts of the building are working smoothly and safely. While commercial electricians are in charge of providing sufficient power supply to businesses, factories, offices etc. which means they have to be specially trained to cope with power surges. It can be very dangerous to hire a residential electrician because they don’t normally come into areas where there is heavy construction or wiring going on so if there is a power outage their safety comes into question.
Commercial electricians use a wide variety of high quality electrical systems such as transformers, circuit breakers and load cells to provide the necessary electricity for various different types of commercial buildings. The electrical systems are generally made to accommodate different loads. This means that a commercial electrician has to be very familiar with all the electrical systems available and also has to have the required license. They will also have to undergo extensive training in order to be fully qualified to work with these systems. The training usually takes around a year to complete.
In the modern day commercial world most buildings need some form of electricity and it’s essential to hire a commercial electrician to ensure that the electricity supplied meets all of the building’s electrical needs. For example, modern buildings may have central heating and air conditioning but do not have a separate system for domestic use. This means that each household needs its own electric supply and this is usually provided by a separate gas or electric supply line. As well as ensuring that all commercial buildings have a high quality electrical service, a commercial electrician will also be required to provide installation and maintenance services to ensure that everything runs smoothly. He may even need to carry out routine maintenance within the building in order to ensure that everything is working properly. Sometimes he will need to repair things that have broken or incorrectly installed and this can be a time consuming process.
If there are certain areas of a building that are hard to access or manage, then a commercial electrician will usually come into the job site to help. There are different types of wiring that are required in order to provide electricity for commercial buildings. Some commercial electricians will have knowledge of all the wiring systems available and they will be able to advise customers on what type of wiring they require. It is essential to always make sure that any wiring systems you use are up to code and comply with safety requirements and this knowledge and experience will ensure that your wiring is correctly installed. This also helps to ensure that any electrical faults do not become catastrophic.
Most commercial electricians will be able to offer advice on which types of wires and components would be best to use in order to reduce costs and improve efficiency. They will often be able to give valuable advice on which components are best to avoid using as these could prove to be extremely dangerous and cause damage to properties. Most industrial electricians and commercial electricians will have a list of components that they will refuse to work with and this information should be clearly posted on their premises. This information is usually part of a training scheme that many businesses attend. If an electrical component is damaged or faulty, it is often possible to have it repaired. However, it may be necessary for the business to bring in an expert in order to carry out the repairs and this may be the case where the commercial electrician fails to meet their recommended qualifications or has experienced staff who they cannot guarantee.
Wherever you require a commercial electrician it is important to go for one that has sufficient experience in their field and that has demonstrated that they have a high level of skill and confidence in their own abilities. Any qualified electricians or industrial electricians that you contact will be able to give you honest and reliable information about what electrical systems are suitable for your requirements and which ones are not. It is also advisable to use a company that is authorised by the relevant bodies and who has received a High Cross certification. All good businesses will have been involved in some form of professional body and you should always choose to deal with a company that has no complaints against them.
