Electrical work in Illinois is regulated by the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR). Before hiring an electrician, verify that the contractor holds the proper license by checking the IDFPR online portal at idfpr.illinois.gov. You can look up any individual or business license in the state to confirm active status and review any enforcement actions.

In Chicago, the Department of Buildings issues permits for electrical work. Most new construction and significant electrical upgrades require a permit before work begins. The permitting process helps ensure the work meets building and electrical codes. Ask your electrician whether a permit is needed for your job and whether they will handle the permit application.

When you call an electrician for a quote, ask whether they are licensed by the state of Illinois and confirm their license number. Request references from recent work and ask about their experience with your specific type of job, whether that is panel work, rewiring, or new construction. Understanding these basics helps protect your home and ensures the work is done safely and to code.
