What You Should Know About Commercial And Residential Wiring

By Sandra Ellis


As time goes by, people are shifting from using ancient means of lighting and source of electric energy. People have moved to the use of solar energy and electrical power. However, for the power to be used, there is need of installing the right electrical cables and fittings. By following this guide, you will find things you need to know about commercial and residential wiring.

For the power to be installed, you must have to apply for the service. It cannot be done before you have shown interest. The rates are varying depending on the installation you want. The cost of the single phase installation cannot be the same as to that of multiple phase installation. The length of the period that it should take will also depend on the installation type.

Some factors may deny you the opportunity to access the power. For example, you will find that you need the installation to be done in a remote area. In such a case, you may find that no transformer is close. It will be useless to do the cabling if you will not be able to pay for the cost of connecting to such places. This is because distance and accessibility are among the factors that influence the cost.

Just in case the wiring is not done carefully, there is the likelihood of an accident occurring. For example, overloading is prohibited. There is the rating that every cable should carry. In case it is exceeded, the wires will melt and cause an electric shot that may result to fire. It is therefore vital that you ensure the installation is done correctly in your premise.

In rooms for rent, there is need to ensure that at least every connection is separated. The installation of the lighting system should not be joined with the one for power cabling. This is because you may find that different people may be using massive machines taking a lot of power. If possible, make sure that every tenant has got a separate sub-meter.

There is a need that the wiring is done by an expert. Bearing in mind that there are a lot of risks involved, make sure that a skilled person will do the installation. Such a person knows the regulations that should be followed, and it may be in rare cases that such a person will use shortcuts.

Another thing that is vital is the license. Apart from the usual business license, a person is in most cases required to apply for a special permit to be allowed to work. The grant is given depending on the class a person will qualify. Not every person is permitted to do the wiring. Check to confirm that you are operating with a person qualified for the specific class of your installation.

Make sure you employ honest individuals. It may be difficult at times to get people you may trust. As such you will find that in case you leave working materials, some will go the shortcut way trying to scale the materials and will finally steal them from you. Therefore, make sure you can trust your contractor. In case you do not have one you can believe, get a recommendation from people you may trust.
