The best way to find a licensed electrician is to use an online service. Many sites like Networx will locate a licensed electrician and let you see reviews about their service. You can also check you local yellow pages under electricians and look for a licensing logo, then call you Better Business Bureau to check them out. Remember, you are not obligated to choose an electrician you don't trust after a consultation or estimate, so always get a few estimates before work is done. You can use several webpages such as Yellow Pages or Super pages to find a licensed electrician. Some websites also offer satisfaction guarantees for the contracted work. I recommend super pages for this.
