Licensed Electrician in Union City, CA

The license, and how we check it

California class C-10: Electrical Contractor

Every California electrical contractor holds a C-10 license, and you can look any license number up on the state licensing board website. We do the same check before a contractor can take licensed electrical work on NorTech.

Smaller jobs and bigger jobs

Small fixture work, like swapping a light fixture or a switch, is handled as a smaller job under the California handyman exemption: under $1,000 in total, no permit needed. The moment a job needs a permit, touches the panel, or grows past that limit, it moves to a licensed electrician instead.

Frequently asked

Questions from Union City homeowners

Permit rules differ by city and by project. For licensed electrical work in Union City, permit and inspection handling is part of the scope your contractor confirms with you before you book.

Pros on NorTech cover Union City addresses including Old Alvarado, Decoto, Alvarado, Alvarado-Niles corridor, Dry Creek, and Quarry Lakes area. Enter your ZIP on the booking page to confirm your address is covered.

In practice, yes. A home charger usually needs its own circuit and a permit, and in California, when you hire someone to do electrical work that needs a permit, they have to be a licensed contractor. On NorTech, EV charger jobs are booked only with a verified C-10 electrician.

Before a contractor can take licensed work here, we check their license against the state licensing board record for status and expiry. You can run the same lookup yourself with the license number on your booking.
