Electrical Installations

Electricity is essential in modern buildings and, without electricians we would have no lights, heat or security systems.

Electrical Installers, or Electricians, are responsible for the safe installation, maintenance and repair of electrical and electronic systems such as heating, lighting, air conditioning, alarms and metering equipment.

This can be for houses, industrial sites and even power stations.

Electrical safety is an essential part of an electrical installer's skill and safe working practices must be adhered to.

There are numerous guidelines that an electrical installer must follow and they may need to pass tests to prove they are familiar with these requirements.
