FAQs

What does an electrician do?

Electricians are trained and certified professionals who handle a range of tasks, including installing, maintaining, and repairing electrical systems and equipment in residential properties. Since they specialise in electrical work, they can complete jobs safely and to a high standard. In particular, our team of expert electricians at French Electrical are skilled in everything from heat pump and air conditioning installation and maintenance to security cameras, solar power, and home theatre installations.

What's the difference between an electrician and an electrical engineer?

Electrician vs Electrical Engineer

Although one might assume electricians and electrical engineers have similar roles, they’re actually very different. Electrical engineers, for instance, are often office-based and use computer software to design new products and solutions while overseeing manufacturing. Electricians, on the other hand, are hands-on professionals working directly in the field. Common tasks include wiring homes and inspecting and repairing electrical systems.

Do I need an electrician to install a light fixture?

Lighting Installation Safety

Installing indoor and outdoor lighting is a speciality area for French Electrical. If you’re considering a light fixture yourself, keep in mind that without trained expertise in the electrical field, it can be dangerous to attempt this alone. That’s why it’s safer and quicker to enlist our help, ensuring the work is completed to a high standard.
