Detailed Information About the Connecticut Master Electrician Bond:

The license comes from the state, the bond goes to the town

Electricians in Connecticut are licensed by the Department of Consumer Protection, not by individual towns. The state's top contractor credential is the E-1 unlimited electrical contractor license, which covers all electrical work as defined in section 20-330 of the General Statutes. The E-2 journeyperson license carries the same scope but only while the holder works for a properly licensed contractor.

The bond on this page is a different obligation. It runs to the Town of Darien, and the contractor who pulls electrical permits in Darien is the one who posts it. Having a valid state license is a prerequisite, not a substitute.

What the bond guarantees

The bond guarantees the town that the bonded contractor will comply with the local requirements that apply to permitted electrical work in Darien. If the contractor fails to meet those obligations and the town suffers a loss, the town can make a claim against the bond. The surety pays valid claims and then looks to the contractor for repayment, so the bond protects the town rather than the contractor.

Before you buy

Ask the Darien Building Department for the current bond amount and whether the town requires its own bond form. Have your DCP license number ready, and make sure the name on the bond matches the name on your state license exactly.
