5. What Makes Commercial Electricians Different Commercial electricians are like any other type of electrician in the regard that they work with electrical systems. Generally, electricians share a similar basic knowledge, but what separates them from others in their profession is where they work and what they do. Commercial electricians are professionals that work in commercial buildings, for instance offices, stores, and restaurants, that are often used by the public. In this manner they differ from residential electricians who typically work in homes and apartments as well as industrial electricians who tend to work in areas with complex and sensitive electrical systems, such as manufacturing and production facilities.

6. These differences in location have a large impact on the work done by electricians. For instance, residential electricians do wiring between walls whereas the wiring done by a commercial electrician is located within tubing within the walls or even ceiling tiles. Commercial electricians are specially trained to do the work that they do, which is why they should be relied on for commercial jobs rather than another type of electrician.

7. What Commercial Electricians do Commercial electricians do work such as electrical system installations, repairs, maintenance, and inspections. The products they wire are often along the lines of breaker panels, generators, lighting, heating and other general building requirements. Due to the nature of the installations that they do, commercial electricians must be familiar with “three phase wiring”.

8. This is because what commercial electricians tend to install have more extensive power requirements than what, for example, a residential electrician would be installing, and so they require specialized knowledge. Commercial electricians must also be able to find and fix problems in wiring or electrical components according to state, local, and national guidelines for wiring and electrical systems.

9. Furthermore, they must be able to ensure systems are maintained, functional, safe, and that they meet all the necessary standards. These are essential to customer safety and satisfaction. There are instances where a commercial electrician must lead a team of electricians for projects, and to be successful they should be able to read and use technical drawings. Thus not only must commercial electricians be highly capable individuals themselves, they must also be able to help and work with others in their field for the sake of the quality of their work.

10. The Value of a Commercial Electrician While taking on an electrical project by oneself and hiring a residential electrician one is familiar with are both viable options when there is electrical work that needs to be done, the best option for a commercial job is a commercial electrician. Commercial electricians must meet certain criteria, including but not limited to classroom learning and on-the-job-training, in order to become licensed, which is something that is required of their profession.

11. Additionally, commercial and residential electricians have different licenses because the different settings they work in require different knowledge. Electrical work can be dangerous if done in an unsafe or uneducated manner, which is why it is always best to leave such matters in the hands of professionals.

12. Commercial electricians face risks such as shocks, fires, and injuries sustained from tools or equipment, and the work they do demands that they are in good physical condition. However, because they are trained professionals who use safety gear and abide by safety regulations, the chances of them suffering from one of the aforementioned risks are far less than compared to someone who is less qualified.

13. A good commercial electrician will be able to provide a pleasant experience and services that will last. Their work will ensure that the business that contracted them and that business’s customers will face little to no issues with their electrical systems.

14. Finding the Right Commercial Electrician To get the maximum benefits from a commercial electrician, it is essential to find one of repute. One should only consider working with a commercial electrician who is licensed as a commercial electrician, not anything else, so that way they can be sure the electrician will have the skills and tools needed to deal with the issues at hand. After all, professionals are able to deal with the unexpected in a way that non-professionals simply cannot. This information can be found by asking the electrician in question for it or by checking their online profiles if they have any.

15. A Google search will suffice more often than not. An important fact to keep in mind is that different locations have different requirements for a commercial electrician’s credentials, which is why it is necessary to check them oneself rather than being satisfied right away if they are licensed. It is also always a good idea to check with other businesses who have worked with the commercial electrician or their company for information about the commercial electrician’s quality of work.

16. If a company is often recommended and has high reviews, they should definitely be considered as an option worth hiring. Those in the market for a commercial electrician should seek one who is often available or one whose schedule aligns with theirs. That will allow work to progress faster and more productively. Another important aspect to consider is experience.

17. A commercial electrician who has experience in the field will know how to troubleshoot and resolve issues, and will thus be able to prevent future issues from springing up. This can save money for to hire another commercial electrician to fix problems leads to spending that could have been directed elsewhere. Picking a commercial electrician should be a selective process, but if done right, will yield great results.
