Florida requires electrical contractors to be licensed by the state's Department of Business & Professional Regulation. The main license type for general electrical work is EC (Electrical Contractor), which covers installation, repair, alteration, and design of electrical systems, wiring, fixtures, and apparatus in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Before hiring, confirm that your electrician holds an active EC license or a Registered Electrical Contractor (ER) license—the latter is valid only in specific jurisdictions where the contractor is registered.

You can verify any electrician's license on the Florida DBPR website by searching by name or license number. Confirm that the license is current and in good standing. This protects you from unlicensed work and ensures the contractor has met state competency requirements.

Most electrical work in Florida requires a permit from your local building department. Your electrician should handle permit applications and arrange inspections to comply with the Florida Building Code. Ask your contractor whether permits are included in their estimate and what inspections the job will need.
