Hiring an Electrician in New Jersey
All electrical contractors in New Jersey must be licensed and hold a valid business permit, renewed every three years. The New Jersey Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors, part of the Division of Consumer Affairs, licenses and regulates electrical contractors and registers qualified journeyman electricians. Before hiring, verify that your contractor holds a current license.
You can check a contractor's license status online through the New Jersey Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors. The Board ensures contractors meet experience and educational requirements under the Electrical Contractors Licensing Act of 1962. If you have a complaint about a contractor, the Board also handles investigations.
Electrical work in New Jersey is governed by the Uniform Construction Code (N.J.A.C. 5:23). Most residential electrical projects will require a permit and inspection to ensure the work meets code standards. Check with your local municipality or code enforcement office about permit requirements before the work begins.
