“What is a licensed home electrician and what does it mean?”

Good question! A common rule of thumb recommends that you should have a licensed home electrician but what exactly does that mean? Every state has its own requirements but to work as a home electrician in Florida, electrical contractors must pass a comprehensive two-part exam. The first part of the exam includes a business section and takes up to two and a half hours.  The second portion has a technical/safety section and takes up to five hours. The full exam covers many subjects including circuits, conductors, grounding, lighting, and safety.

Once passed, the license will be issued by the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation.

Now, let’s discuss the benefits of hiring a licensed home electrician.

1. Licensed electricians are required to carry insurance. The professional insurance guideline provides liability protection for any incident or injury which may occur on a project.
2. Up-to-date knowledge. Licensed electricians are required to take continuing education to keep up with new technology, security codes and safety guidelines.
3. Follow safety codes. Through training, as an apprentice and beyond, your licensed home electrician has learned to follow safety codes.
4. Proper tools and equipment. Do you have the right diagnostic tools and other equipment? Probably not, but a licensed electrician does. You’ll benefit by a repair done with the proper tools and material that could save you time and money.
5. Proper permits.  A licensed electrician knows when something will need a permit. If you’re ever inspected or plan to sell your home,  you could be in deep water for having work done without the proper permits.
