Additionally, the SBA defines a small business as having less than $6.5 million in annual revenues for most service industries. But how does that apply to the electrical construction industry? According to the 2008 Profile of the Electrical Contractor, 69 percent of electrical contracting firms are small firms, which each carry less than 10 employees.

ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR spoke with three small business owners, each with about 10 employees or less. None see the small business phase as something to simply pass through on their way to becoming bigger. All three own multidecade-old firms that are smaller by choice because the owners prefer the benefits of being that size.

David Mitchell Clark, 34, was arrested this week by Rancho Cucamonga Police after he allegedly installed hidden cameras in the bathrooms of unsuspecting customers who hired him for electrical work. There are no records of David Mitchell Clark or his company DMC Electrical with CSLB licensing. The Police Department has warned consumers, in a press release, to check their electrical outlets for possible hidden cameras, if they hired David Clark to perform work.

While most states license electrical and plumbing contractors, only 36 states have some type of licensing and registration statutes affecting contractors, remodelers, and/or specialty contractors. The licensing can range from simple registration to a detailed qualification process. Also, the licensing requirements in one locality may be different from the requirements in the rest of the state.

Check with your local building department or consumer protection agency to find out about licensing requirements in your area. If your state has licensing laws, ask to see the contractor’s license and make sure that it’s current.

Since not all states require licensing you may have no choice in hiring an unlicensed contractor. This can still work out if you know what you are doing and he knows what he’s doing. The license doesn’t necessarily mean you get expertise, but it does mean you get leverage. A contractor will right his wrongs to avoid losing his license.

Electrical Contractors, who have an equivalent license in their own state, are able to quickly obtain an Emergency License issued by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). The specific application for this license is available on their website and must be submitted with a copy of your current license and the application fee. An Emergency License can be issued for the following classifications: Master Electrician, Master Sign Electrician, Journeyman Electrician, Journeyman Sign Electrician, Residential Wireman, and Maintenance Electrician. With this license, you must work under another contractor licensed in Texas. The Emergency License is valid for 90 days and will only allow you to perform within the designated disaster area and during the time of a declared disaster and its recovery period.

Another quick way to get licensed is to apply for a temporary apprenticeship license. This temporary license would be valid for 21 days – h opefully giving you enough time to obtain your permanent license. Again, you must work under another contractor licensed in Texas.

A type of electrical engineering technology, electrical engineers need to be very familiar with technology circuits in each case they work. In its simplest form, an electrical circuit is a connection of electrical elements in a closed loop current passing continues. Electrical engineers learn how to predict where the current round and the voltage on circuit as well. Today the world, it is much easier to design circuits than ever because of new technology software electrical circuit simulation software, designing circuits safe and effective.

IDC has lined up two national keynote speakers for the event, Mr Roger Royal, who has 40 years experience in the electrical power industry and is one of IDC’s most knowledgeable electrical experts. Roger has travelled all over the world for the last 10 years for IDC to instruct on various electrical topics from his base in the snowy mountains in NSW.

IDC also welcomes Mr Andrew Maunder, who has 25 years experience in the electrical industry and is a certified safety auditor and accredited electrical safety auditor for the Queensland Government in Hazardous Areas and High Voltage Installations. Both speakers will be presenting a half day workshop on each morning of the two day forum.

Here’s an overview of one course that leads to successful licensing. It begins with learning strategies, what type of student you are, and how best to approach the material. It quickly moves into a simple explanation about electricity, house circuits, and electrical distribution. From there it moves on to discuss safety, national electrical codes, federal OSHA requirements, and what to do if you or someone else gets shocked on the job.

After that electrical equipment and supplies are discussed – meters, circuit analyzer tools, conductors, insulators, conduits, resistors, switches, relays, thermostats, remote controls, and fuses.

Once you’re familiar with the tools, basic installation techniques are explored. An interest in math will be very helpful. The math required for high level electrical work can be complex but once you know the formula to solve your problem, it makes things that much easier. And don’t forget the metric system either. Lots of equipment is manufactured in countries where the metric system rules so you have to have a working understanding of the differences.

By the time you completely understand resistance theories, parallel circuits and Ohm’s law you’ll have mastered the basic thinking skills involved with getting your electrician license. From this point forward you’ll have learned enough to take the license test. Courses of study after this can be thought of as graduate courses in that they focus in on specific areas that may not interest you. Right at this point you’ll have the basic knowledge to take the test and if you’ve learned your stuff and studied hard you should have no problem passing the test and receiving your electrician license.

Electricians go to school and learn everything they need to so that your wiring is correctly installed in your home. Newer homes must undergo inspection, as do those that have had recent additions. If the wiring is not correctly placed, you can run into increased financial costs to fix errors. This is where relying on a professional to do the work for you comes in handy. If you have a professional that knows all the ins and outs of installing electrical wire and breaker boxes, you are far better off then if you attempt such things on your own.

You can find a professional electrician by using your local yellow pages. Or, if you prefer, you can find a professional that can handle your electrical wiring issues on the Internet. Conversely, you can even find a professional that can help you via word of mouth. Just as long as you realize the importance of hiring a professional in the first place. Don’t play fix it yourself if you have no clue as to what you are doing. It can be quite dangerous to install electrical wiring incorrectly.
