Hiring an Electrician in Tallahassee, Florida
In Florida, electricians must be licensed by the state. You can verify any contractor's license through the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors Licensing Board at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the contractor's name or license number to confirm their status and license type.
Florida recognizes several electrical license types: an EC (Electrical Contractor) can work statewide on all electrical systems, while an ER (Registered Electrical Contractor) is limited to the specific cities or counties where they are registered. Before hiring, confirm which type of license the contractor holds and whether it covers your area.
Most electrical work in Florida requires a permit and inspection under the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor whether permits are needed for your project and who will handle the application and inspections.
How do I look up an electrician's license in Florida?
Visit the DBPR license search at myfloridalicense.com. You can search by the contractor's name or license number. The search shows whether the license is active and what type of work the contractor is authorized to perform. [1, 2]
What is the difference between an EC and ER electrical license in Florida?
An EC (Electrical Contractor) license allows the contractor to work on all electrical systems anywhere in the state. An ER (Registered Electrical Contractor) can only contract in the specific cities and counties where they are registered. [1]
Do I need a permit for residential electrical work in Florida?
Most electrical work requires a permit and inspection under the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor whether a permit is needed for your specific project and who will obtain it. [3, 4]
What should I ask an electrician before hiring?
Confirm their license type (EC or ER) and verify their license status online. Ask whether permits and inspections are required for your work, and clarify who is responsible for handling the permitting process. [1, 2, 3]
