Licensed Electricians
in New York

Licensing authority: New York State and local jurisdictions (NYC Dept. of Buildings)

New York does not have a single statewide electrician license. New York City requires a Master Electrician license from the NYC Department of Buildings. Other jurisdictions have their own licensing requirements. Always verify credentials with the local building department for the project location.

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 New York 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.
