Think about all the new buildings going up in Southeast Iowa – the refit in a store at the Westland Mall, the housing developments, maybe even that solar farm in northeastern Lee county along highway 61. Who makes sure they all have power? Electricians! We’re the ones behind the scenes making it all happen. And right now, we need more skilled electricians to keep up with all the exciting projects in our area.
What Electricians Do
You might think electricians just wire houses, but that’s just the start! We work on:
- Homes: Of course, making sure new houses are wired safely and correctly.
- Big Buildings: Think schools, hospitals, and factories – way more complex electrical systems.
- Green Energy: Installing and maintaining solar panels and wind turbines.
- Cool Tech: Some electricians specialize in smart homes, security systems, and other cutting-edge technology.
