In Florida, electrical work must be performed by a licensed contractor. The state's Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board regulates contractors under different license types depending on scope. A General Electrical Contractor (EC) is qualified to install, repair, alter, design electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, apparatus, and conduit. A Registered Electrical Contractor (ER) may work only in the specific cities and counties where registered. Before hiring, verify that your electrician holds an active license.

You can search for an active Florida electrical license at the Department of Business and Professional Regulation online services portal. Search by the contractor's name, license number, city, or county to confirm their credentials and license status. This ensures you are hiring someone authorized to do the work in your jurisdiction.

Most electrical work in Florida requires a permit and inspection to ensure compliance with the Florida Building Code. Your electrician should be familiar with permit requirements for your project. Ask whether they will obtain permits and coordinate inspections, or whether you will need to do so separately. Understanding permit responsibility upfront protects both you and the contractor.
