Electric Pro Academy - Real skills to make real money.

Synopsis:
The two main reasons why basements tend to have an unpleasant atmosphere are 1) too much water or 2) not enough light. While we’re only specialists in the latter option, we’d like to show you how far a couple more lights can go to making a basement an inviting place without breaking the bank, compromising headroom, or cluttering a space. On top of all that, electricians celebrate a job like this: Great customer relationships, cool indoor working space on a hot summer day, straightforward scope of work, and no crawl-space!

Laced within the technical instruction are recommendations and points of professionalism employed daily by Jefferson Electric masters, journeymen, & apprentices.
