Hiring an Electrician in Tampa, Florida
In Florida, electrical contractors must be licensed by the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board. An electrical contractor (license type EC) has the experience and knowledge to install, repair, alter, add to, or design electrical wiring, fixtures, appliances, apparatus, raceways, and conduit, including electrical installations and systems within plants and substations, as well as all alarm systems and specialty categories. Before hiring, verify that your electrician holds an active license.
You can verify a contractor's license online through the DBPR's license search portal at myfloridalicense.com. Search by the contractor's name or license number. This search confirms the license is current and in good standing. When you contact Second Opinion Electric at (813) 716-6020, ask for their license number and confirm it matches state records.
