What is Electrical Wiring?

Electricity is essential for light, power, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Electricians are needed to install, connect, test and maintain systems for a variety of purposes, including climate control, security and communications. Electrical wiring is essential to installing, repairing or maintaining these systems. They must follow the National Electric Code (NEC) and comply with State and local building codes when they install these systems.

Electricians work with blueprints which mark the location of circuits, outlets, load centers, panel boards and other equipment.

They use testing equipment, such as ohmmeters and voltmeters to check the circuits for proper connections, ensuring electrical compatibility and safety.
