Besthorne Electric is essential for light, power, air-conditioning. We install, connect, test, and maintain electrical systems for a variety of purposes, including climate control, security, and communications. We also may install and maintain the electronic controls for machines in business and industry. Besthorne Electric generally specialize in construction or maintenance work, although we are growing we do both. Besthorne Electric specializing in construction work primarily install wiring systems into new homes, businesses, and factories, but we also rewire or upgrade existing electrical systems as needed. We specializing in maintenance work primarily maintain and upgrade existing electrical systems and repair electrical equipment. Besthorne electric works with blueprints when we install electrical systems. Blueprints indicate the locations of circuits, outlets, load centers, panel boards, and other equipment. We must follow the National Electrical Code and comply with State and local building codes when we install these systems. Regulations vary depending on the setting and require various types of installation procedures. When we install wiring systems in factories and commercial settings, we first place conduit (pipe or tubing) inside partitions, walls, or other concealed areas as designated by the blueprints. we also fasten to the walls small metal or plastic boxes that will house electrical switches and outlets. we pull insulated wires or cables through the conduit to complete circuits between these boxes. In residential construction, we usually install plastic encased insulated wire, which does not need to be run through conduit. The gauge and number of wires installed in all settings depends upon the load and end use of that part of the electrical system. The greater the diameter of the wire, the higher the voltage and amperage that can flow through it. Besthorne electric connects all types of wire to circuit breakers, transformers, outlets, or other components. We join the wires in boxes with various specially designed connectors. During installation, we use hand tools such as conduit benders, screwdrivers, pliers, knives, hacksaws, and wire strippers, as well as power tools such as drills and saws. After we finish installing the wiring, we use testing equipment, such as ammeters, ohmmeters, voltmeters, and oscilloscopes, to check the circuits for proper connections, ensuring electrical compatibility, and safety of components. Maintenance work varies greatly, depending on where Besthorne electric is employed at the time. We specialize in residential work perform a wide variety of electrical work for homeowners. We may rewire a home and replace an old fuse box with a new circuit breaker box to accommodate additional appliances, or we may install new lighting and other electric household items, such as ceiling fans. When we work in large factories we may repair motors, transformers, generators, and electronic controllers on machine tools and industrial robots. Often in office buildings and small plants we may repair all types of electrical equipment. Maintenance working in factories, hospitals, and other settings we repair electric and electronic equipment when breakdowns occur and install new electrical equipment. When breakdowns occur, we must make the necessary repairs as quickly as possible in order to minimize inconvenience. We may replace items such as circuit breakers, fuses, switches, electrical and electronic components, or wire. We periodically inspect all equipment to ensure it is operating properly, and locate and correct problems before breakdowns occur. We also advise management whether continued operation of equipment could be hazardous. When working with complex electronic devices, we may work with engineers, engineering technicians, line installers and repairers, or industrial machinery installation, repair, and maintenance workers. We also may install low voltage wiring systems in addition to wiring a building’s electrical system. Low voltage wiring involves voice, data, and video wiring systems, such as those for telephones, computers and related equipment, intercoms, and fire alarm and security systems. We also may install coaxial or fiber optic cable for computers and other telecommunications equipment and electronic controls for industrial uses. |
