Hiring a licensed electrician in California

Look for a C-10 Electrical license from the Contractors State License Board (CSLB).

• Any job worth $1,000 or more in labor and materials must be done by a CSLB-licensed contractor.
• Licensed contractors must carry a $25,000 contractor bond, and workers' compensation if they have employees.
• For home improvement contracts, the down payment can't be more than 10% of the price or $1,000, whichever is less.
• Water heaters must be braced or strapped against earthquakes under state law.
