Want To Be An Electrician?

If Edison is your childhood hero, and an electrician is your choice of career, congratulations, electricity and new high-tech conveniences will make your job fun and new and exiting with the ever changing world of new electronic gear installation. Electricians are classified as Craftsmen along with Plumbers, and Heating and Air Conditioning contractors and are required to be licensed by the City Inspection Department.  

If you’ve been licensed in Junction City and have let your license lapse for a year or more, you will be required to show proof of Block & Associates testing.

If you want to work as an Apprentice, you need to have the Contractor you work for come in and have you licensed as an Apprentice for their firm. If you want to work as a Journeyman, the Contractor you work for must come in and show your Block & Associates score to have you licensed as a Journeyman Electrician.

If you’re going into business for yourself as an Electrical Contractor, you will need to show Block & Associates testing for Master Electrician. You will also have to apply for a Electrical Contractor’s License and show proof of $500,000 of liability insurance.

Electrical installations, when done by a professional, appears to be little more than pulling hundreds of wires, but remember you are dealing with a force that can shock and kill, and if not done properly, can cause fires that can go undetected until too late. Simple household repairs can be done by most, but be sure you know what you’re doing before you put a screwdriver to that connection.

Remember, when doing any household repairs to be sure to use all the proper eye, head, and hand safety equipment, and to keep all tools in good repair and ... use all the guards on your tools.
