Some
people tend to believe that electric contractors and electricians are one and
the same thing. They differ as electric
contractors are companies that offer electrical services while electricians are
the people appointed to carry out electrical services across the state.
Installation, designing and maintenance of electrical system are the primary
duties of the electricians. Both
electric contractors and electricians must have valid licenses to run their
business.
Electrical contractors are divided into three broad categories. The outside or line electrical contractors
control the distributing line as well as high voltage transmission. They are
responsible for carrying transmission and all the work needed to get
electricity from the power plant into the substations and make it accessible to
homes and other premises.
The
inside contractors are responsible for providing and maintenance of electric
systems for institutional, residential and commercial buildings. Any work related to maintenance, installation
or designing in such buildings is carried out by this group. They are also responsible for installation of
security and lighting system inside the boundary line to avoid violation of
electrical code as stated by the law.
The
integrated building system contractors handle installation of low voltage such
as telecommunication. Electrical contractors hire experienced electricians to
carry out electrical services. They also offer a three to five years training
for those with no experience and later offer them jobs when they are qualified.
Those who are not experienced are hired at an apprentice level by the
electrical contractors and get to learn and promoted throughout the program.
