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.

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 businesss
  customers will face little to no issues with
  their electrical systems.

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 electricians 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 electricians
  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.
