How do you know when your facility should contact an outside electrician for assistance? Are there specific tasks that only a professional commercial electrician can perform? Today, we’re going to look at five questions and answers about commercial electricians. Let’s start with the basics: who needs a commercial electrician?
Who needs a commercial electrician?
Many industrial and commercial facilities will have employees who are familiar with electrical systems and professional wiring. Does this mean that they can trust those team members to handle commercial electrician tasks?
We wouldn’t recommend it. A commercial electrician will have both the necessary certifications as well as the trained skills to handle your needs. So who needs a commercial electrician? That’s easy: any facility that plans to make changes to or expand its current electrical grid.
What tasks can commercial electricians perform?
That’s the who. Now, let’s tackle our second of five questions and answers about commercial electricians. Specifically, what tasks can they perform?
• In no particular order, commercial electricians can:
• Install control panels and integrate them into your power grid; • Install wiring;
• Set up and install logic controllers;
• Hook up new machinery;
• Help with retrofitting new LED lighting to your existing fixtures; • Assist with any moves, additions, or changes to your facility;
And much more. They’re a one-stop shop for all of your commercial power needs.
Can commercial electricians help during a plant shutdown?
The third of our five questions and answers about commercial electricians has a simple, three-letter word for its answer. Can commercial electricians help during a plant shutdown? Yes!
Now, how can they help exactly? By performing critical maintenance on your systems and power grid, installing new fixtures, and ensuring that your facility has the necessary safety precautions in place to prevent power surges.
Can commercial electricians help with preventative maintenance? Likewise, can a commercial electrician help with preventative maintenance? There’s repairing, which we addressed above. Does this mean that commercial electricians are only a reactive profession?
No, and preventative maintenance solutions are one of the hallmarks of a quality contractor. Preventative maintenance helps to extend the life of your facility’s fixtures and is a great way to control rising costs.
What qualifications should a commercial electrician have?
Finally, what qualifications should a commercial electrician have? They need to have analytical thinking skills to solve complex problems. They should always have a strong and dependable work ethic, treating each customer with the utmost respect. Their integrity should be without question, and they should receive full licensing and training within their industry.
