Thanks, the structured cabling keyword search does have a lot more hits.

I also just ended up doing it myself.

But if it was something I had to hire out, I almost definitely would have had to just hire a normal electrician.

Field nation seems like it’s geared towards commercial? Maybe can find someone on there to do a residential job though.

Everyone in this group says this, but I live in a small to medium city (metropolitan area population just over a million) and I could not find a “low voltage electrician” anywhere. Called tons of people. Closest I could find (who wasn’t just a normal electrician) was a computer repair guy who said “I suppose I could do some runs but I’m not a network guy” and a high end home theater shop that point blank told me it wasn’t worth their time unless I bought a multi thousand dollar home automation system from them.

So how exactly do I find a low voltage tech? Cause Google didn’t work. I suppose there must be a bunch of people who work the commercial side but it was near impossible to find anyone who did residential.
