Residential Electrician FAQs

What is the difference between a residential electrician and an electrical technician?

While residential electricians and electrical technicians both deal with electrical systems, the nature of their work is different. Residential electricians install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair the wiring in buildings, whether that be residential homes, offices, or commercial properties. On the other hand, electrical technicians work on electrical systems within machinery, specialty equipment and other commonly used devices.

Why are residential electricians in demand?

When it comes to construction, electrical workers are the first to install electrical systems. Infrastructure development also comes with new residential and commercial projects. Older buildings need to be retrofitted with technology and alternative energy sources.

Do residential electricians need licensing?

Licensing in the electrical field differs from state to state. Generally, the licensing process for electricians starts with apprenticeship (2-4 years), journeyman (5-6 years), and master electrician. This residential electrician course will prepare you for an apprentice-level job. Getting your electrician education is the first step to getting licensed.
