What Is the Price for the Bessemer Electrician Bond?

Why Is the Electrician Bond Required by the City of Bessemer?

The Electrician Bond is required in Bessemer as a licensing requirement for the electrical permit. The bond is used as financial assurance if you, as the electrician, violate the Electrical Code (Article 3, Title 18 of the Bessemer Code of Ordinances). This code promotes the safety of the public and electricians, as well as the City’s interests by regulating who accesses the electrical sources within the city and how they are accessed.

For example, the bond may come into play if an electrician installs different light sconces than what the contract dictates and then refuses to fix them.

How Does a Bessemer Electrician Avoid Bond Claims?

As an electrician in Bessemer, you are expected to follow the Electrical Code to avoid claims on your Electrician Bond. This includes:

By complying with the obligations of the Code, you ensure that you are not acting in a reckless manner.

If any complaints are filed against you, it may be possible to alleviate the situation. You should always look for a way to resolve the issue right away before it escalates into a bond claim.

What Happens if I Get a Bessemer Electrician Bond Claim?

If you do receive a claim on your Electrician Bond, let our team know immediately! Jet is committed to defending you against false claims. An investigation into the claim (with evidence from both you and the claimant) will be conducted. If the claim is valid, Jet must pay the claim out. However, this doesn’t mean that you are off the hook — the bond acts as an extension of your credit and you must still pay Jet back to restore your bond. Failure to do so will result in license complications, affecting your livelihood as an electrician.
