A master electrician is a certified, experienced electrician who typically has more experience and credentials than a journeyman electrician. Master electricians can own their own businesses and supervise other electricians. The qualifications for this certification vary by state but can include a degree or certain education requirements and years of experience. Usually, master electricians have previously received journeyman status, which also requires a certain number of hours or years worked in the field or completion of an apprenticeship program. Jobs that may best be tasked to a master electrician include:
Installing a circuit breaker
Rewiring a home
Installing an appliance circuit
Installing an electric baseboard heater
Repairing aluminum wiring
Designing and planning an electrical system for a residence or commercial property
