Hiring an Electrician in Tallahassee, Florida
In Florida, electricians must be licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation's Electrical Contractors Licensing Board. Before you hire, verify the contractor's license and check their disciplinary history—both are public records. You can search licenses by contractor name, license number, or city at the DBPR online portal.
Most electrical work in Florida requires a permit and an inspection before and after installation. Your electrician should handle permit applications, though you can also verify that this step is completed yourself. Electrical work must comply with the Florida Building Code, which covers everything from wiring and fixtures to panel work and safety systems.
When you call, confirm the contractor is licensed in your jurisdiction. Ask whether they have experience with your specific project—small residential jobs, panel upgrades, or other work—and confirm they handle permits and inspections.
What license types do Florida electrical contractors hold?
Florida issues General Electrical Contractor (EC) and Registered Electrical Contractor (ER) licenses. A General license allows work statewide; a Registered license limits the contractor to the specific cities or counties listed. Alarm system contractors hold separate licenses (EF or EY). You can verify the license type and jurisdiction when you search. [1]
How do I check an electrician's Florida license?
Search the DBPR License Portal online by the contractor's name, license number, or city. This is the official way to verify current status and review any disciplinary history. The search is free and available to the public. [2]
Do electrical jobs in Florida require permits?
Most electrical work does. Your electrician should apply for the permit on your behalf and arrange for inspections before and after the work. Confirm this with your contractor when you call. [3]
What should I ask the electrician before I hire them?
Ask whether they hold a current Florida license, what type (General or Registered), and whether they are licensed to work in your city or county. Confirm they handle permits and inspections. Also verify they have experience with your project type. [1, 2]
