Transformers
No, we are not talking about the kid’s TV show or the long line of bad Hollywood movies. We are talking about voltage transformers. A voltage transformer is a stationary electromagnetic passive electrical device that converts electrical energy from one value to another. In short, transformers can increase or decreasing voltage and current levels of their supply, without modifying its frequency.

Secondly, reducing your organization’s carbon footprint and maintaining an energy-efficient organization has become a goal for businesses. If you want to remain at the forefront of technology, we recommend investing in energy management.
Handyman vs. Licensed Electrician
No matter the scale or scope of your project or service needs, it is essential to understand the difference between a handyman and an electrician. Many handymen can offer services that cover many areas of expertise. Knowing when it is acceptable to save money and hire a handyman could make a big difference.
Licensed Electrician
A licensed electrician is a trained and certified professional authorized to install, repair, and maintain electrical systems in accordance with national and local electrical codes. They undergo extensive education, apprenticeships, and testing to ensure safety, compliance, and reliability. Licensed electricians are qualified to handle complex wiring, circuit design, and electrical upgrades in commercial, industrial, and residential settings, ensuring that all work meets code and minimizes risk of electrical failure or fire.
Handyman
A handyman typically performs general maintenance or small repairs but is not licensed or certified to perform electrical work beyond basic tasks such as replacing light switches or fixtures. While a handyman may be suitable for minor cosmetic or mechanical repairs, they lack the formal training and legal authorization to work on electrical systems. Hiring an unlicensed individual for electrical work can lead to code violations, safety hazards, and liability risks, especially in commercial or multi-site facilities.
Resources for Vetting an Electrical Services Company
Hiring an electrician can feel overwhelming, especially for organizations managing multiple locations across different regions. Finding and coordinating separate electricians for each site is time-consuming and inconsistent. Partnering with a national electrical service provider simplifies this process by offering a single point of contact, standardized service quality, and comprehensive maintenance programs. A trusted service management provider can oversee all your lighting and electrical needs nationwide, ensuring consistent performance, safety, and compliance at every facility.

- Are you looking at budget or project completion constraints?
- Do you have an energy reduction target?
- Are there performance specifics needed to be taken into consideration?
