Three Key Points to Consider When Calling an Electrician

When it’s time to call an electrician for any electrical job, it’s important to check the following key points about the electrician and/or the company

1. Electrician’s license
2. Level of license your electrician has
3. Insurance

Electrician’s license

The license the electrician holds in an important factor. If a proper license from the “Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation”, has been issued in their name then it’s a pretty good bet you’re in safe hands. If an electrician is offering a service for what seems a very cheap price, which is a warning signal for you to do a thorough check regarding his license. People who are working as electricians in Dallas, TX, need to be licensed from the government to ensure they’re qualified to perform the work you need done without putting you, your femur property at risk.

Level of license your electrician should have

There are 4 levels of licensing

• Apprentice electrician

This license is issued to a person who has just started their career in the field. This license requires 2 years of training under a supervisor. Upon completing a state authorized electrical exam with a passing score, he is upgraded to Wireman Electrician.

• Wireman Electrician

This electrician is licensed to work without any supervision in residential buildings. So, when calling a Dallas electrician, you need to be sure the electrician is at least a wireman electrician.

• Journeyman Electrician

Any electrical job to be done in any commercial building requires a Journeyman Electrician. In order to qualify for a Journeyman Electrician license, the electrician must have completed 8000 work hours under the supervision of a Master Electrician.

• Master Electrician

Every electrical company should employ at least one Master Electrician to supervise all the electricians and electrical work carried out on behalf of the company. Without a Master Electrician supervising, the risk is much higher of at the least,  electrical failures from shoddy materials or workmanship, and at the worst,  fire caused by an electrical problem that puts you and your home at extreme risk.   

Insurance

All electrical contractors in the state of Texas, are required to be licensed from the state to be properly insured. . This is done for the protection the customer and the community’s safety.  Any electrical contractor who is not able to provide proper insurance proof, is likely not licensed and that means they either have not completed the required training or they had a license and had it revoked for some reason.  Is that a risk you really want to take?

The Main Causes of Electrical Fires?

Electrical fires can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as faulty electrical systems, kitchen and home appliances or even minor mistakes in your electrical wiring.

According to researchers, most of the electrical fires are caused in the month of December because the winter invites a good deal of increased indoor activities. Property damages and even fatalities go up which is the result of increased electrical loads due to the additional usage of lighting, using more appliances and of course heating demands.

Electrical Systems should be carefully inspected annually by professionals since faulty wiring and increased loads can be such huge fire hazards. Caddell Electric is a well-known company that has the expertise required in dealing with issues involving meter bases, electric panels and code compliance. If your feel your electrical system needs a thorough check up, please contact Caddell Electric today.

If you own Stab-Lock breakers, they’ve been shown to fail to trip when getting hot and that can  can cause fires threatening your home, business and family.. They can also short circuit which can also cause a fire in your home. We’re not insinuating that just because you may have the Stb Lock breaker boxes they will definitely cause fires. We are just informing you that this brand of breaker boxes is not the quality you probably think you have and it is a good idea to have them tested and checked to be on safe side.

Things such as old, worn or outdated wiring, old plugs, and cords on old appliances may also cause fires. Even though they seem to be small issues, they can be the cause of huge monetary losses or worse one day. Home appliances that can cause a big threat are things like electric stoves, ovens, heating units, dryers, lamps and lighting, microwaves and so on. Most of us never even consider the risk but all those things increase the load on your breakers.

As they say, “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. It’s better to take care of your electrical systems and have them inspected once yearly than to take the risk of major problems due to something easy to fix.  Caddell Electric can eliminate a lot of that risk.
