    They may call, text or email to ask questions or set up a visit. Contractors reply on their own schedules, so no response time is promised.

  3. You check and compare

    Ask each one for its business name and Montana license number, look it up in the DLI license lookup, and compare written, itemized quotes.

  4. You decide

    Hire one of them, or no one. The request is free and there is no obligation.

Safety first. If you see smoke or fire, or smell burning that is getting stronger, get everyone out and call 911. If a power line is down or the power is out, stay away from the line and contact your utility: NorthWestern Energy at 888-467-2669 or the NorthWestern Energy outage map, or Park Electric Cooperative at 406-222-7778. If you are not sure which utility serves you, check your bill. This form is not an emergency line.

What helps contractors quote accurately

  • What is happening. A breaker that trips when the space heater or heat tape comes on, outlets dead in one room, half the house without power, lights that flicker, a warm outlet or switch plate, a burning smell, or a project such as a heat pump circuit, EV charger, hot tub, generator transfer switch or snow-melt system.
  • When it started. After a cold snap, a storm, new equipment or a remodel? Did a breaker trip, and does it reset?
  • Roughly how old the house is. An older home near downtown or MSU and a newer one in northwest Bozeman or Four Corners raise different questions.
  • Whether you own or rent. Renters should report electrical problems to the landlord in writing; the landlord arranges a licensed contractor, since Montana requires licensed contractors for rental work. This is general information, not legal advice.
  • The panel, if you know it. The brand and the main breaker size (100 A, 200 A) help with any upgrade question. Do not open the panel cover to find out.
  • Your town, and whether you are inside city limits. It decides whether the permit comes from the city or the state.
  • Photos, if asked. A contractor may ask for photos of the panel label or the area once they contact you.

Before you agree to any work

  • Montana requires electricians and electrical contractors to be licensed by the State Electrical Board (MCA Title 37, ch. 68). Look up any contractor or electrician by name or license number in the Montana DLI license lookup, and ask to see the license; electricians must carry it on the job.
  • Ask for a certificate of liability insurance. The State Electrical Board requires licensed contractors to carry workers' compensation and unemployment insurance coverage (or hold an exemption); it does not set a liability insurance amount.
  • Get a written, itemized quote, and ask about trip or diagnostic fees and after-hours rates before anyone comes out.
  • Ask who pulls the permit and from which office. Bozeman, Belgrade and Manhattan issue electrical permits inside city limits; everywhere else in the valley, including Livingston, Three Forks, Big Sky and Four Corners, permits come from the Montana Department of Labor & Industry (DLI electrical permits).
  • Ask whether any NorthWestern Energy service-upgrade charge is included, and don't pay the full amount upfront.

Typical ranges are in the Bozeman electrician cost guide. For an urgent problem, read what to do in an electrical emergency first. More on the service is on the how it works page.
