Licence required. Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services (DSPS). Confirm the electrician holds an active DSPS journeyman or master electrician license via the DSPS LicensE lookup before work begins.

Residential building permits in Wisconsin are issued locally — by the city, village, town, or county building/inspection department — enforcing the statewide Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC) for one- and two-family homes; check with your local municipal building inspector for exact requirements before starting work. In Madison, permits come from the City of Madison Building Inspection Division (Development Services Center).

Tax: Under DOR Publication 207, a contractor working on REAL property (installing a furnace, windows, roofing, plumbing, most remodeling) is treated as the consumer of materials and does not charge sales tax on labor or materials for that real-property work; but repair, service, cleaning, or maintenance of TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY (e.g., repairing a window A/C unit, appliance repair) is a taxable service where both labor and parts are taxed.

Best time to book in Madison

Summer (AC load and storm damage) and the pre-holiday season (overloaded lighting circuits) see the most calls, so scheduling non-urgent repairs in spring or early fall tends to be cheaper and faster. Peak demand: June, July, August and December. Typical job length: 1-4 hours for most repairs; panel upgrades take about 1 day.

DIY or pro? Cosmetic tasks like swapping a switch plate or bulb are fine to DIY, but anything touching wiring, outlets, or the panel needs a licensed electrician for safety and code compliance.
