Iowa licenses electricians and electrical contractors statewide. Iowa Code chapter 103 put that program under the Electrical Examining Board, now part of the Department of Inspections, Appeals, and Licensing. The same law calls for inspection of new electrical work unless the statute exempts it. Before you hire in Des Moines, look the electrician and the contractor up with DIAL and ask who will pull the electrical permit. This page shows which Des Moines electricians AI assistants named most often across answers RecommendRadar ran and stored, how often each appeared, and the sources those answers cited. Being named often by AI reflects visibility, not workmanship. Confirm the license before you sign.
