Licensing: Electrical Inspectors/Services & Licensing: Contractors
The State Fire Marshal and local fire chiefs have general authority to inspect for fire hazards but there is no state requirement for inspection of electrical installations. Many municipalities have local inspection requirements.

Licensing requirements:
No statewide licensing of electrical contractors or journeyman is required. Municipalities are authorized to license electrical contractors. Separate licensing is required for any firm which installs or maintains fire and burglar alarm systems.
The Department of Professional Regulation also does not issue a specific license for the profession/occupation of electrical inspector.
