A 'jack-of-all-trades' is a person who can do many types of work. Being a jack-of-all-trades can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on how the interviewer perceives it. The saying 'jack-of-all-trades, master of none' implies that you have not excelled in your craft. Talk to the interviewer about the variety of skills you possess while emphasizing your expertise as an electrician.

"I would consider myself a very well-rounded trades professional because my background is so diverse. I began my career as an electrician and feel this type of work is my strong suit. I have trained professionally as a plumber and also have experience in HVAC. If I don't have direct experience with something, I will research the topic and can pick it up very quickly."
