We’ve seen a few “electricians” advertising for work lately but missing crucial credentials. Using an electrician with the needed training and experience, is a must.
Did you know that a Master Electrician is key to ensuring the safety, quality, and legality of electrical work? They possess the highest level of skills, knowledge and experience in the field.
If you hire an “unqualified” electrician, your insurance may no longer cover your house if an electrical fire occurs due to “shoddy” wiring work.
To become a Master Electrician in Alberta, a person must also have at least two years of experience working as an electrician. This experience must be in the same type of electrical work that the person plans to do as a master electrician.
At Sylvan Electric, we have 17 years of experience in the field, along with the certifications and insurance necessary to do the job right.
