They typically are-- however, if they are insured and licensed that might be enough. A bonded electrician has put on deposit a certain amount of cash in the form of a bond that can be used in the event that there is some problem with their work. However, it is a somewhat outdated practice and getting access to that money in the case of a dispute is unlikely. However, an electrician who cannot put up a bond might not have a stable business.
