Licensed Electricians
in Illinois

Licensing authority: Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (IDFPR)

Electrical licensing in Illinois is handled at both the state and municipal level. Chicago and many suburbs maintain their own licensing requirements in addition to state credentials. Always verify credentials with the specific jurisdiction where work is being performed.

When you work with our referral service, we only connect you with contractors who represent themselves as licensed and insured. We strongly recommend that you verify any contractor's license through the Illinois licensing authority and request a Certificate of Insurance before work begins.

For permitted work (panel upgrades, new circuits, full rewiring), your contractor should pull the required permits and schedule a final inspection. Permitted work protects your home's value and ensures insurance coverage.
