In Florida, electrical contractors must hold a license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board. The main license type for general electrical work is the Electrical Contractor (EC) license, which allows work on wiring, fixtures, appliances, and systems in homes and businesses. A Registered Electrical Contractor (ER) license applies to contractors working only in specific cities or counties where they are registered. Before hiring, confirm the contractor holds the proper license by searching the DBPR online licensee database.

Most electrical work in Jacksonville requires a permit from the City's Building Inspection Division. The current code in effect is the Florida Building Code 8th Edition (2023). Permits ensure the work meets safety standards and protects your home. When you contact an electrician, ask whether they will handle permit applications—this is standard practice.

Ask your electrician about their experience with the specific work you need, such as panel upgrades, rewiring, or service calls. Confirm they carry appropriate insurance and understand local code requirements for your project.
