Electrical appliances play a major role in our lives. From the coffee maker to the toaster, the laptop or mobile phone, lights, fans, air conditioners, and even electrical cars, all these devices run on electricity. That means they need to be supplied with electric power one way or another. Wiring the house, installing plug points and sockets, fitting lights, security systems, fans, smoke detectors, etc. are the job of a professional.
An electrician not just handles the electrical fixtures, but also provides general maintenance services such as repairing and reinstalling the devices. We can classify electrical services into three broad categories. This classification is based on the type and volume of the services provided:
Domestic Electrical Services
1. As the name suggests, the electrician takes care of the electrical fittings within and outside the home.
2. Wiring and rewiring the house, installing and changing switchboards, repairing and upgrading the electric mains box, installing lights, sensors, security devices, fitting bathroom electrical appliances, connecting the electrical appliances in the kitchen, etc. are some of the tasks handled by the professionals.
3. Fitting lights and switchboards in the garage, installing lamps in the garden, near the pool, on the terrace, ensuring the house has enough lighting on the outside are also a part of their job.
Industrial Electrical Services
1. Industries are huge. To power the electrical devices on such a large scale, the wiring needs to be done with extra care.
2. The basic services provided by an electrician for the industries range from installing and maintaining the complex 3 phase equipment, repairing and servicing the electrical equipment, wiring the factories and warehouses, managing the transmission lines and connections for stationary machines among other things.
3. While some industries prefer to have in-house electricians, other industries choose to have tie-ups with companies and firms that provide electrical services as and when needed. The electricians from the company will visit the factory or the building at regular intervals and ensure that there are no problems with the equipment or the power supply.
Commercial Electrical Services
1. Banks, offices, restaurants, retail outlets, malls, stadiums, spas, etc. come under commercial establishments.
2. The volume of work in these centers varies, depending on the size of the structure and the type of establishment.
3. The electrical requirements of a restaurant are different than that of a spa, which is again different from the requirements of a toy store or a fashion house.
The following are some of the services provided by the electrician in the commercial sector:
Designing and installing the fire alarm system.
Handling the communication and data cabling system.
Installing low voltage lighting in the appropriate areas.
Custom-designing commercial lighting system for individual establishments based on specific requirements.
Providing maintenance services to take care of the lighting design and other electrical connections in the building.
Having a maintenance contract with an electrician will save a lot of time and money. We don’t have to search for a new professional each time we need someone to fix the electrical appliances or install a new light. When we hire the same person, the job can be completed sooner, as he/ she already knows about the wiring of the house or the office. They don’t have to spend time searching for a connection.
Always contact an electrician with good work experience to get better quality results. The person will also be able to help in making better choices about installing or fitting new lights, fans, and other electrical appliances.
