Mississippi Electricians

Hiring an Electrician in Mississippi

Buildermuse currently lists 10 electricians in Mississippi, averaging 4.9 stars across 1,101 verified Google reviews. That is an unusually strong field — when nearly every firm clears 4.8 stars, response time and availability become the real differentiators, so call two or three rather than only the top result. Most of the crews above operate out of Pearl, Clinton, and Gulfport.

Mississippi licenses this trade at the state level: the Electrical credential is required for all work, regardless of project size. Licensed through separate electrical board. Licenses renew on an annual cycle (December 31). Expect a $300 state application fee. Verify any license directly with the Mississippi State Board of Contractors at (601) 354-6161 before signing a contract. At a minimum, ask for proof of $300,000 in general liability coverage and active workers' comp.

Labor is the biggest line item on most bids, and the Mississippi market sets the floor: construction workers here average $30.93 an hour — about $64,324 a year — across 51,394 workers statewide, per Bureau of Labor Statistics data. Use that figure as a sanity check when comparing quotes — a bid priced far below market labor rates usually means subcontracted or uninsured crews.
