Professional electrician performing residential electrical repairs and installations in Milton

When Your Project Needs a Professional Electrical Contractor, Not Just an Electrician

There's a difference between hiring an electrician and hiring an electrical contractor.

Electricians install outlets, fix switches, and handle basic electrical work. Electrical contractors design complete electrical systems, manage complex projects, coordinate with other trades, handle permitting and inspections, and take full responsibility for complete electrical installations.

McCombs Electrical Heating & Air is a fully licensed electrical contractor (Florida License EC13014513) serving Milton, Pensacola, Pace, and all Northwest Florida. We've been handling commercial and residential electrical projects since 1974.

Led by Josh Rogers, Professional Engineer (PE, Florida License #75495), we bring actual engineering expertise to electrical contracting. When your project requires proper load calculations, three-phase power design, or complex electrical systems, you need an engineer, not just a tradesman with a toolbox.

We handle projects from residential panel upgrades to complete commercial electrical installations. One company, complete electrical contracting capability.

Electrical Contractor Licensing In Florida What Our License Means for You

Florida Electrical Contractor License EC13014513

This license means:

  • Passed rigorous state examination
  • Bonded and insured as required
  • Legal authority to contract electrical work
  • Can pull electrical permits
  • State licensing board oversight

Continuing education requirements met

Why Licensing Matters:

Unlicensed contractors cannot:

  • Legally pull permits
  • Contract for electrical work over certain amounts
  • Provide contractor-level insurance
  • Be held accountable by state licensing board

Hiring unlicensed contractors puts you at risk:

  • Insurance won't cover unlicensed work
  • No legal recourse if problems occur
  • Illegal work must be removed during sale
  • Fire caused by unlicensed work = no insurance payout
  • Inspectors fail unpermitted work

Always verify contractor licensing. Florida licensing board maintains public database of licensed contractors.

Common Electrical Contractor Questions (FAQ)

What's the difference between electrical contractor and electrician?

Electrical contractors are licensed to run electrical contracting businesses, pull permits, and manage projects. They employ electricians (journeymen and masters) who do the actual installation work. Contractors take full responsibility for projects. Electricians work as individuals or for contractors.

How much do electrical contractors charge?

Electrical contractors typically charge based on project scope. Small residential work might be time-and-materials (hourly rate plus materials). Commercial projects are usually fixed-price bids based on plans and specifications. Rates vary by project complexity. We provide clear proposals before starting work.

Do I need a licensed electrical contractor for my project?

If your project requires electrical permits (most do), yes. Electrical contractors have legal authority to pull permits. Unlicensed work is illegal and creates problems with inspections, insurance, and future home sales.

How long do electrical contracting projects take?

Varies enormously by project scope:

  • Panel upgrade: 1 day
  • Home rewiring: 3-7 days
  • New home electrical: 2-4 weeks
  • Commercial tenant improvement: 1-4 weeks
  • Large commercial: months
