Yes, U.S. municipalities require electricians to hold an electrical contractor’s license. In some cases, a certified electrician will send an apprentice or journeyman that works underneath them, but the primary electrician still needs to hold the proper license. Without an electrical contracting license, your professional won’t be able to pull the proper permits for your project. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing search to confirm that an electrician you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. Don’t forget to verify the electrician’s insurance coverage and any third-party certifications before hiring.

Converting a gas water heater to an electric one can cost between $870 and $4,100, depending on the installation scope, plumbing and electrical needs, and the water heater model. However, it’s always better to contact a local pro for a more accurate quote.
