Take care of your family by taking care of your home’s electrical system. The majority of our home’s electrical system is behind walls, so you can’t see what’s happening. So stop worrying and have one of our licensed electricians inspect and test your entire electrical system.
An electrical inspection and testing help determine if your electrical system and its parts (fixtures, outlets, switches, etc.) are safe for use.
Â
If you aren’t sure you need an electrical inspection, here are some great reasons:
Â
Our skilled electricians will carry out a set of procedures and look at every single piece of your electrical system. We even conduct a thermal scan looking for hotspots. This is very important because a majority of house fires are caused by an electrical malfunction or failure.Â
Â
Once the safety inspection and testing are complete, our professional electricians will review and explain their findings and recommendations to you. Don’t worry we will answer every question you have.

What exactly goes into the making of an electrician? What are the different types of electricians and what do they do?

To do this they need to have a solid knowledge of electricity and electrical systems and a wide range of skills. An electrician’s general duties include:
A Red Seal electrician is a journeyperson electrician who did their training and apprenticeship program in a different province. A journeyperson electrician can take the Interprovincial Exam and if they pass, they receive a Red Seal allowing them to work in other provinces.
An apprentice electrician is a trainee who is working under the supervision of a journeyperson electrician.
Every jurisdiction has different training and apprentice requirements. In Alberta,Â
Once an apprentice successfully completes their apprenticeship program they will receive a journeyperson certificate and an Advanced Diploma.
An apprentice follows the directions of the supervising electrician and assists the electrician as directed. An apprentice’s tasks and responsibilities will increase as they progress through the apprenticeship program and their knowledge and skills increase.
In Alberta, master electricians are a regulated profession and are the only contractors who can get electrical permits in the province.
Their main responsibilities are:
To be certified as a master electrician, a journeyperson electrician must:
Master electricians are required to renew their qualifications every year. In addition, the electrical code book is updated every three years, and master electricians are required to take a refresher course and recertify based on the new edition.Â
A residential electrician works in private residences. They can install the electrical in new builds, perform maintenance to ensure the homeowner’s safety, and conduct repairs and upgrades in existing homes.
A commercial electrician works in buildings for public use, including:
Â
The buildings commercial electricians work in are more varied and usually more complex than your average home. Their jobs are similar to residential electricians though they do work with special health and safety equipment, oversized appliances, specialised appliances, large heating and air conditioning units, and higher voltage electrical systems.
Â
A commercial electrician will also work with different equipment, setups, materials, load demands, and energy needs than a residential electrician. For example, most houses have a single-phase design whereas many commercial buildings require a three-phase design.
An industrial electrician works in higher-risk and heavy-duty environments. Environments like:
They work in higher voltage and more complex environments than both residential and commercial electricians.
