Electricians are probably the best known type of electrical contractors. They are usually the first to come to a construction site, inspecting the location and deciding where it is appropriate to install the electrical systems. But electricians work outdoors too, or in manufacturing plants, and not all of them perform electrical tasks, as you will see below.

Domestic electricians Norwich are the most common type of electricians. This happens because they deal with the electrical systems found inside households, and since in any city, including in Norwich, there are more households than company headquarters, it is easy to suspect why domestic electricians are so appreciated. They set up and repair wiring systems, being also able to upgrade an old electrical system to match the new electricity requirements.

Industrial electricians Norwich install and repair electrical systems in industrial facilities, like manufacturing plants and factories. Due to the technological advancements in our era, industrial electricians are also good at robotics, being able to set up, repair, and maintain electrical devices needed inside an industrial facility. They are not known as commercial electricians, because this latter type of electricians provide work only to commercial establishments.

Linesmen are also known as powerline technicians and provide installation and repair to power lines that transmit telephone, telegraph, cable TV and Internet signals. This type of electrician Norwich can be spotted working on electric posts, at various heights. Linesmen became popular with the spread of the telegraph more than a hundred years ago. Nowadays, they perform tasks like replacing transformers, and installing capacitor banks, or fuses.

Journeymen electricians have the responsibility of running tests on various electrical systems and checking for faults. They also diagnose problems, if they exist, and supervise apprentices. In their turn, journeymen electricians can be supervised by master electricians. Most of the time, journeymen work outdoors, being forced to crawl, climb, or kneel in order to test and diagnose the electrical equipment. To be a journeyman electrician, you need good math skills and a good physical stamina.

Master electricians supervise an entire team of electricians performing various tasks. For example, a master electrician Norwich can supervise journeymen electricians to see if they respect the regulations and act according to the standards, a group of apprentices to check out if they have what it takes to be an electrician, and a team of domestic electricians to ensure a good work organisation and to be certain the electricians can meet the deadlines.

Electricians are professionals responsible for installing, repairing, or maintaining electrical systems. They are those who allow us to talk on the phone with our friends or family, check our e-mails on laptops or tablet computers, watch movies or documentaries on TV, enjoy a romantic walk on a pedestrian path, accompanied only by street lanterns and our partner, and so on. Nothing can be done without electricity; pacients cannot be operated, children cannot learn in schools, software programmers cannot develop amazing apps, astronomers cannot discover new planets. Electricity is definitely one of man’s greatest discoveries.
