- 1. Get the name and license numberAsk for the electrician's full name and the company name as well.
- 2. Search the AECB recordsThe board's site at aecb.alabama.gov lets you look up whether a contractor or journeyman is currently licensed.
- 3. Ask who pulls the permitA licensed contractor files the trade permit with the City and books the inspections.

Storms and outages
Alabama Power outages and storm damage in Alabaster
Alabama Power is the electric utility for Alabaster. It owns the poles, lines and meters, and it restores power when a storm takes down the grid.
Central Alabama gets strong thunderstorms and tornado warnings. On April 15, 2011, the National Weather Service surveyed a tornado that ran from Thompson Road to Highway 31 near Alabaster City Hall and dropped trees on homes along 8th and 6th Streets SW.
A tree on a service line can pull the meter base or the mast off the house. The utility handles its side, and a licensed electrician repairs the parts that belong to the owner.
Who handles what
- 911: fire, smoke or a person who has been shocked.
- Alabama Power: a line on the ground, a dark street or damage on the utility side.
- An electrician: a pulled mast or meter base, a dead circuit, or a breaker that will not reset.
- Run a generator only through a transfer switch or approved interlock, never through a wall outlet.
Alabaster homes
Homes from Alabaster's growth years
Alabaster grew from 2,642 residents in 1970 to 14,732 in 1990, and it reached 33,284 in the 2020 census. Many houses date from that growth period, and those houses now carry original panels and wiring.
Some homes of that age still have a Federal Pacific Stab-Lok panel. These panels have documented concerns about breakers that may not trip, so many owners replace them.
Newer homes bring different requests: more lighting, ceiling fans in every bedroom, and wiring for solar or security cameras.
Common Alabaster home requests
- Light fixture installation and replacement
- Ceiling fan installation and repair
- Federal Pacific panel replacement
- Whole-home electrical safety inspections

- Permit and inspectionsCommercial jobs need drawings and several inspections.
- Panel conditionAn old or full panel can turn a small job into a panel change.
