Don’t take anyone’s word for it. In Texas, you can easily check if your electrician is the real deal. Use the TDLR Active License Search to verify their credentials.
SPECIAL FEATURE: HOW TO VERIFY AN ELECTRICIAN’S LICENSE
Step 1: Get the License Number
Any legitimate electrician in Texas must display their license number on their vehicles and business cards. If they hesitate to give it to you, that is your first red flag.
Step 2: Visit the TDLR Website
Go to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) Search Page.
Step 3: Search by Name or License Number
- Select “Electricians” from the license type dropdown.
- Enter the License Number or the Business Name.
Step 4: What to Look For
- Status: It must say “Active.”
- License Type: Ensure they are a Master Electrician or an Electrical Contractor.
- Expiration Date: Ensure the license hasn’t lapsed.
Step 5: Check for Disciplinary Action . The TDLR site will also show if there have been any formal complaints or violations filed against that license.
Why This Matters (The “Honest Electrician” Take)
In our day-to-day experience, we see people trying to save a few dollars by hiring an unlicensed worker or doing it themselves. We want our neighbors in Georgetown to understand that you aren’t paying us to just “change a wire”—you’re paying for the 10,000 hours of training that keep your family safe while they sleep.
The Bottom Line: Your home in Georgetown or Sun City is your biggest investment. Don’t let a “quick fix” put it at risk. If your outlets are acting up, skip the handyman and call someone who knows exactly what’s happening behind your walls.
Need a safety check? Give us a call at Starfire Electric LLC. We’ll make sure your “dead outlets” don’t turn into a living nightmare.
