In California, electricians must hold a C-10 Electrical Contractor license issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). Before you hire, you can look up any contractor's license status and complaint history on the CSLB website. Most electrical work requires a building permit from your local building department. Contact San Francisco's building department to learn what permits apply to your project—requirements vary by scope and location.

When interviewing an electrician, ask whether they hold a current C-10 license and confirm their license number with CSLB. Verify that the scope of work you need will require a permit and whether the contractor will handle permitting. Ask what safety inspections or code compliance work they perform, especially for older homes or panel upgrades. Get a detailed written estimate before work begins.
