I would like the Input of everyone as to whether a License is required in their area for Electrical work, is it local?, statewide? Are their different classifications? It is confusing sometimes trying to understand what is required where and what they are called. I have some good sources of info on the subject but it is not always clear on some things:
https://www.electrical-contractor.net/StateLicensing.htm (Go to state and select "more info")
I will start:
NY - No state licensing. This is done at local level. County or smaller areas can have their own requirements.
I am on Long Island. Called "Licensed Master Electrician" has no restrictions except for doing Fire Alarm must have certification. Restricted licenses avaliable for HVAC & Plumbing personell allowing them to work within their own Equipment.
