A Los Angeles electrical contractor and electrician often seem to be perceived as synonyms. However, as RG Electric<\/a> elaborates on the subject, you\u2019ll be able to distinguish between the two roles the two professions play in providing electrical repairs and installations in commercial<\/a>, residential, and industrial buildings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to the National Electrical Contractors Association (NECA), the electrical contractor is a business or firm licensed and certified to do the installation, design, and maintenance of electrical systems in three types of facilities \u2013 homes, offices, and industrial buildings like factories. Furthermore, the business is split up into three categories:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These are not the same. To some degree, an electrical contractor was thought to be an individual who has a master electrician license or a master electrician with a contractor registration. However, you’ll see that there\u2019s much more responsibility to the role of an electrician contractor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An electrician is an individual who is a licensed tradesperson to conduct electrical works. That person can’t be self-employed unless he is registered as a contractor. Many electricians work for electrical contractors, but you can also find many working as individual business persons. Depending on their competence and license, they usually fall under journeymen and master electricians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The major difference between an electrical contractor and an electrician is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides electrical repair tasks, electrical contractors cater to a variety of electrical duties that cover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In regards to maintenance work, it involves:<\/p>\n\n\n\n All this work can be operated at homes, construction sites, and commercial facilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The scope of service delivered by an electrician contractor is much broader than that of an electrician. This is why when it comes to deciding between the two, we advise that you hire the electrical contractor that already has a staff of qualified electricians to cover the different needs of their clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are licensed to carry out diverse tasks, depending on their nature. For example, when you hire us for outdoor lighting installation<\/a>, we\u2019ll prepare a project. This means that RG Electric will work out a detailed plan tailored to its client design and other requirements. Then, with the settled design and budget, we’ll schedule out the work and start the installation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Similarly, if you need high-voltage power transmission or low-voltage lighting, RG electric, as a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor can make sure these systems work in a safe, effective, and environmentally-friendly manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While you may find some similarities between an electrical contractor and an electrician, the latter is a business entity or company that employs electricians. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is an electrical contractor?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
