Key facts

How do you search for an electrician in Maine?

Use the board's Find a Licensee link, then follow Maine's published search guidance. The consumer guide says: "You may search for a licensee (individual or company) by name or license number." Maine search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine consumer license search guide, read 5 November 2026.

The guide explains the first choice: "After you click on the link below, you will be asked whether you are looking for an individual, a company, or other entity (atm machine, boiler or elevator)." Maine search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine consumer license search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Use the name or license number for your own optional Maine search, and describe the electrical work separately in your InstaBids request.

What does a master electrician license cover in Maine?

The definition in Title 32 section 1101(6) describes the master electrician's work: '"Master electrician" means a licensed person qualified under this chapter to engage in the business of installing electrical wires, conduits, apparatus, fixtures and other electrical equipment.' Maine Legislature, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine Legislature, Title 32 section 1101, read 5 November 2026.

Section 1101(1-A) separately defines the company: '"Electrical company" means a person, firm, corporation or partnership employing licensees engaged in the business of doing electrical installations.' Maine Legislature, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine Legislature, Title 32 section 1101, read 5 November 2026.

For your InstaBids request, distinguish the master electrician role from the electrical company and list the installation work you want described in bids.

What do the published status codes mean?

Maine's consumer guide publishes status definitions; these are the guide's words, without a claim about the electrical result screen. It defines: "ACTIVE: Authorized to operate." Maine search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine consumer license search guide, read 5 November 2026.

The guide also says: "INACTIVE: Not currently authorized to operate." Maine search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine consumer license search guide, read 5 November 2026.

For an application, it says: "PENDING: Application received, not yet processed." Maine search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine consumer license search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Keep Maine's published status definitions beside your optional research notes, while the InstaBids request describes the installation, access and desired timing.

Where can you take a complaint about an electrician?

The board's consumer FAQ links directly to complaint information: "Click here for information regarding filing complaints against electricians" Electrical board FAQ, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Electrical board FAQ, read 5 November 2026.

For discipline research, the consumer search guide says: "You may also search for licensee discipline by board." Maine search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine consumer license search guide, read 5 November 2026.

Use the electrical board's complaint path for that separate concern, and keep the installation scope and unresolved work clear in your InstaBids request.

Who must hold an electrical license in Maine?

Title 32 section 1201 supplies the rule and its qualification: "An electrical installation may not be made unless by an electrician licensed by the board except as provided in this chapter." Maine Legislature, read 5 November 2026.

Source: Maine Legislature, Title 32 section 1201, read 5 November 2026.

Keep section 1201 with your own optional electrical research, then describe each proposed installation and alteration when preparing the InstaBids request.
