Florida law requires the owner of an electrical company to be licensed, but not all electricians working on a job hold a license—many are technicians. When hiring an electrician, confirm that licensed electricians will do the work. You can verify an electrician's license on the Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) website by searching by name, license number, or city.

An electrical contractor (EC) is licensed to install, repair, alter, add to, or design electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, apparatus, raceways, and conduit, including alarm systems and specialty categories. A registered electrical contractor (ER) may only contract in the cities and counties for which registered and may not contract for alarm systems. Before hiring, ask whether the contractor holds a full electrical contractor license or a registered license limited to specific jurisdictions.

Florida Building Code governs electrical installations in the state. Permits are typically required for electrical work; your contractor should explain permit requirements for your project and handle the process. Ask your electrician whether your job needs permits and what inspections will be required.
