What are the missions and responsibilities of a master electrician?

More than just an electrician, the master electrician has undergone extensive professional training, has specific skills and has many years of experience. Here are the main roles he or she is responsible for.

- Elaboration of an electrical diagram on a new construction

Designing a plan of the entire electrical circuit in a new house or during a renovation is essential. It allows you to know exactly where the wires run, where the switches and outlets are located. This is a task for a master electrician.

- Installation of electrical components

Electrical panel, switches, sockets and all the elements composing the electrical installation must be installed by a master electrician. Only he is able to ensure the conformity of each element according to the safety standards.
