Difference between electrician and electrical
contractor
Are you one of those people who dont know the
difference between an electrician and an
electrical contractor? Dont worry you are not
alone because there are millions of other people
just like you. Most people believe they do one
and the same thing but honestly their
responsibilities differ a great deal. An
electrical contractor actually refers to a
company or a firm that provides electrical
services and they employ electricians. It is
electricians who are responsible for tasks such
as electrical installations, designs and
maintenance. All electricians and electrical
contractors must be licensed in order for them to
do business while adhering to all the set
standards while at the same time maintaining a
valid insurance cover. Whenever you are hiring an
electrical contractor and they become hesitant to
show their license, you may be dealing with a
fraud. It is therefore important for you to
always check licenses and credentials so that you
are sure you will get the best electrical
services. This is an essential requirement any
time you are selecting an electrician or
electrical contractor for a repair job.

  electrical systems as well as the provision of
  electrical services in residential, commercial

  forms of installation, maintenance as well as
  design of the systems that are required inside
  buildings. Inside electrical contractors provide
