An electrician typically performs the hands-on wiring and installation tasks. An electrical contractor often oversees the entire project, manages permits, and ensures all work meets code requirements.
Moisture intrusion from rain or humidity, corrosion due to seasonal changes, and physical damage are common culprits. Improper installation can also lead to premature failure.
