Best Electricians in Little Rock

Q: Can an electrician install solar panels?

A: Yes, a professional electrician is actually important to the solar panel installation process because solar panels must be integrated into a home's power, which can be complex. Hiring a professional electrician who's bonded and insured offers some peace of mind. If something happens with the installation, you may have some recourse for covering damages.

Q: Who installs a garbage disposal—a plumber or electrician?

A: Typically, a plumber installs a garbage disposal because the work involves pipes and water flow under the sink. The power usually comes from simply plugging the disposal into a wall outlet. If a new outlet needs to be installed to support the disposal, an electrician can be hired to do that work before the plumber installs the disposal.

Q: What is a master electrician?

A: 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
