In Florida, electrical contractors are licensed by the Department of Business & Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board. The main license types are Electrical Contractor (EC), Registered Electrical Contractor (ER), Alarm System Contractor I (EF), and Registered Alarm System Contractor I (EY). A Registered Electrical Contractor may work only in the cities and counties for which registration is issued and cannot contract for alarm systems. An Electrical Contractor (EC) can work statewide and handle all electrical work including alarm systems.

You can verify a contractor's license by visiting the DBPR online services portal at myfloridalicense.com and searching by the contractor's name, license number, license type, or city. This search will show you the licensee's credentials and registration status. Before hiring, ask which license type the contractor holds and confirm their registration covers your area.

Florida follows the Florida Building Code for all electrical work. Most residential electrical jobs require a permit, and the local building department will inspect the work to ensure it meets code. Ask your electrician whether a permit is needed for your project and whether the cost is included in their estimate.
