Electricity is a powerful force that can be just as dangerous as it is useful. In order to make sure you’re protected from electrical hazards like shocks and fires, it’s important to keep your electrical system well-maintained and up to date. Use these tips to keep your system safe, efficient, and functional!

Tips to Keep Your Electrical System Safe:

• Get Regular Safety Checks – An annual inspection from a licensed electrical services provider can help you identify and address potential safety risks.
• Keep an Eye Out for Warning Sights – If your lights start flickering or your wires are starting to look frayed, call your electrician as soon as possible to get things fixed before they become safety hazards.
• Accommodate New Additions – Whenever you install a new light fixture or appliance, make sure you get help from your electrician. An electrical services professional can help you balance your electrical load and upgrade your panel or circuit breaker if necessary.

How Professional Electrical Licensing Works

Electricians receive their training in two stages – first in the classroom, then in the field. First, they receive their classroom training and receive their first certifications. Then, they find an apprenticeship program with an established electrical company and begin their supervised field training. This stage can take years as electricians progress from apprentice to journeyman and from journeyman to master.

When you hire a company that works with apprentices, it doesn’t mean that you’re getting service from an inexperienced technician. It means that your fully qualified electrician will be accompanied by a certified assistant. Apprentices are always directed by a Journeyman or Master electrician who makes sure that they get the job done right.
