1. Electrical Contractors:
Service, Technology & Trends

2. Electrical Contractors: Service
Technology and Trends
The rapid progress of technology has not just
been limited to the plethora of mobile gadgets, smart
phones and computers; tried and true industries the
board in a race to bring their customers cutting edge
services not previously available.

3. Electrical Contractors: Service
Technology and Trends
Electrical contractors are no
exception to this technological shift.
While the traditional "service and
repair" procedures are still at the core
of many contractor's commercial and
residential market, some companies
and contracted electricians are also
broadening their horizons to include
greener electrical products as well as
computerized and digital services

4. Old Technology and Roles Made
New:
Repair, support and installation of residential and
consumer electrical systems has long been the staple of
many an electrician. However, this is no longer the limit or
only service a contractor can or should provide. Many
contracting companies now offer complete, custom
electrical systems design, upgrades and customized
security features; fields which have traditionally been the
sole specialty of locksmiths, engineers and construction
contractors.

5. Old Technology and Roles Made
New:
In short, electricians are becoming both highly
specialized while broadening their field of expertise.

6. Hybrid car technology has
created a high demand for
installation, repair and
service of car charging
stations. More contractors
are beginning to add electric
and hybrid car charging
station installation to their list
of products.

7. In some cases, the contractor may also be qualified to work on large
scale, eco-friendly electrical systems updates for commercial customers,
cities and state or federally funded programs. Hydro-power and wind
power systems are a few examples of large scale projects which electrical
contracting companies are overseeing.

8. Some companies have also
begun to integrate digital service
technology and now provide
installation of fiber optic cables,
computer networking systems and
digital surveillance systems. This
marriage between the traditional
role of the electrical technician and
the I.T. computer expert has
produced an extremely useful and
in-demand service to customers,
especially on a commercial level.

9. Of course, this has hardly slowed
the need for the technician to do
routine calls for wiring a home or
installing more mundane products such
as generators, or accent lighting. Along
with the technological changes in the
field, as well as a broadening number
of available areas of service,
contractors can benefit from the newest
tech trends while building upon their
more traditional services.

10. The Internet Impact:
The Internet has provided both customers and
businesses with a nearly limitless opportunity to
expand, compete and find the best services for the
best prices. Social networking sites, some of which
are specifically designed to help businesses or
professionals keep in contact with one another as
well as reach customers, should not be overlooked
as a waste of time.

11. The Internet Impact:
For instance, social
networking sites often act as the
new "word of mouth" for
companies or individual
contractors; customers can refer
friends, family and colleagues
directly to a contractor's "page"
on such a site for quick and easy
contact with the professional.

12. The Internet Impact:
Likewise, if a company or
contractor has several
examples of their services and
work linked on a social
networking page, customers
can easily compare, view and
get estimates of service cost all
while communicating directly
without having to wait for e-mail
responses or call-backs.
