Electrical work in Florida must meet the Florida Building Code. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds a valid state license from the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). The state issues several license types for electricians: General Electrical Contractor (EC), Registered Electrical Contractor (ER), and Alarm System Contractor licenses. A Registered Electrical Contractor works only in the specific cities or counties listed on their registration.

To check a contractor's license status, search the DBPR online services portal at myfloridalicense.com by the contractor's name or license number. This search confirms whether the license is active and in good standing. Always verify before signing a contract.

Electrical work often requires permits from your local jurisdiction to ensure work meets code. Ask your contractor whether a permit is needed for your project and whether the cost is included in the estimate. Code-compliant installation protects your home's safety and may be required by your insurer or mortgage lender.
