It's a specific subspecialty in the trade - with different protocols and work routines than the electricians and plumbers that work in occupied houses.
I specified installation.

There's four different types of electricians:
Lineman: the guys that work for the power companies. PECO, Con-Edison, PSEG, etc.
inside wireman: the guys who install the power, lighting, controls and other electrical equipment in commercial and industrial buildings.
Telecommunications: the guys that do data and phone, Verizon guys, etc. otherwise known as phone fags.
Residential wireman: specialize in installing all of the electrical systems in single-family and multi-family houses or dwellings.
But there's no subspecialty for doing service work, either one of the wiremen do that. If you can do commercial and industrial work you can handle anything residential. An apprenticeship for residential is only three years, everything is cake in a residential dwelling, it's all single phase 120/240 romex.
