What are Electricians?

Electricians power homes, businesses, and factories. They install and maintain wiring, fuses, and other components through which electricity flows. Electricians generally focus on either construction or maintenance, although may do both. Electricians specializing in construction primarily install wiring systems into factories, businesses, and new homes. Electricians specializing in maintenance work, fix and upgrade existing electrical systems and repair electrical equipment.
