When it comes to choosing the right electrician for the job, it really depends on what the job is. Many electricians specialise in a certain market and your everyday electrician isn’t necessarily trained to work in an industrial or commercial setting. Here’s a quick guide to the main different types of electricians for any eventuality or electrical emergency.

Appliance Electricians
Appliances are the major consumer of energy in your household. An appliance electrician is a tradesperson who works with electrical appliances, such as refrigerators. There are four main areas where these professionals can be found: refrigerators/freezers, dishwashers, microwaves, ovens/stoves. Appliance electricians are licensed as they repair equipment that is connected to your home’s electrical system. Modern appliances that suddenly stop working are often because of blown fuses or problems with the circuit breaker. Basic appliance failures and breakdowns, like broken ovens, are a common repair task for an appliance electrician.
