3 things to look for in a Low Voltage company
Choosing the right team for the job takes a little work on your part as a potential customer. The Low Voltage industry has several different areas of expertise and getting the right company onsite can be the difference between a job well done and a bad experience. Here are 3 things to look for in a Low Voltage company.
Proper Licensing. Going with the lowest bid on a project may seem like you’re saving money but it is important to ensure that the contractor you choose for your job has the correct license and insurance. An unlicensed contractor’s bid may be more appealing than a bid from a contractor who is licensed and insured. Licensed contractors charge more than those without these credentials and insurance protection. If a contractor doesn’t follow the law by being licensed, where else are they cutting corners?
Company Structure. Are you dealing with a large nationwide vendor where you will be just another drop in the bucket after you sign the contract? Or are you dealing with a reputable local company that can offer the personalized approach to your situation that you are looking for? Is the company you’re considering using trained employees or are they simply subcontracting it out to someone else? These are important questions to ask when considering the right company. In many cases a local company offers a better overall experience because they value you as a potential life long customer and are more flexible in their approach to your project. If your looking for open and honest communication, detailed project oversight and for your job to be a priority, look for a reliable local company that really values your business.
Experience. It is important to look for a company that specializes in the type of system you need installed. Commercial Electronic security and Life Safety systems are different than mounting TVs, installing speakers or repairing computers. Choosing a company that uses certified technicians with years of industry experience ensures that you maximize every dollar spent and that your project is completed properly by a professional.
The work required to install low voltage systems (Alarms, Access Control, Security Cameras, Networks, Data Cabling, etc.) can be intrusive to your property. In many cases technicians need to run wires in sensitive areas around plumbing, electrical and HVAC components. They may also be penetrating interior and exterior walls to route wires and install devices. Trusting the wrong person with these tasks can lead to very costly repairs if a mistake is made or a problem were to arise after the installation.
