Low voltage technicians handle the low power systems on a project: data and voice cabling, AV and TV mount rough-in, and access control or camera rough-in support. Total Ease Services places background checked low voltage technicians on projects in Columbus, GA. They work under the project's licensed low voltage or electrical contractor, never as that contractor themselves. They do not design systems, pull permits, or sign off inspections.
What do low voltage technicians handle on a project?
Low voltage technicians handle structured cabling, AV and TV mount rough-in, and access control or camera rough-in support. On a Total Ease Services crew, that means pulling and dressing Cat6 or Cat6A cable, terminating and labeling patch panels and jacks, and setting rough-in points for wall mounted screens and access control hardware. Technicians also support testing and labeling under the project's licensed contractor. This is rough-in and installation work, not system design.
What is structured cabling for data and voice drops?
Structured cabling is the backbone of a low voltage scope. Technicians pull Cat6 or Cat6A cable from the data room or panel to each drop location, then dress the cable neatly along the path so it can be inspected and maintained later. Cat6A costs more per drop than Cat6, but it carries higher speeds over longer runs, which matters more in a data closet than in a single office.
Terminating and labeling patch panels and jacks
Once cable is pulled, technicians terminate each end onto a patch panel in the data room and a jack at the wall. Every cable gets a matching label at both ends, so the contractor of record and the building's future IT team can trace any line without guesswork. Clean labeling is what keeps a data room usable years after the crew leaves the site.
AV and TV mount rough-in
AV and TV mount rough-in means running the low voltage cable and setting the blocking points a wall mounted screen or speaker needs before drywall closes. Technicians coordinate the exact mount height and cable path with the general contractor so the finished wall hides the wiring. If the wall needs extra backing for a heavy mount, our carpentry crews install that blocking first, on the same schedule.
Access control and security camera rough-in support
On schools, offices and other secure sites, technicians run the low voltage cable and mounting points for door access readers, card readers and security cameras. This is rough-in support: pulling cable to each device location and setting the box or bracket, done under the project's licensed low voltage or security systems contractor. Programming the access control panel itself stays with that contractor, not with Total Ease Services.
Testing and certification support
Once cabling is in place, technicians run cable testers to confirm each run passes and is labeled correctly, and they document the results for the project's licensed contractor. That contractor, not Total Ease Services, signs off on system certification and any code required inspection. Technicians support the paperwork trail so the certifying contractor has clean records to work from; they do not issue the certification themselves.
What do low voltage technicians not do?
Total Ease Services low voltage technicians do not design systems, pull permits, sign off inspections, or perform line voltage electrical work. Georgia licenses low voltage contractors, and our technicians work on projects under the project's licensed low voltage or electrical contractor of record. A general contractor that needs a system designed or a permit pulled still needs its own licensed low voltage or electrical contractor for that scope.
Background-checked technicians, trained and supervised
Every Total Ease Services technician passes a background check before starting on a project. Owner Jan Bonner brings 12 years of hands-on trade experience to how technicians are trained and supervised on site. That experience, plus the background check, is what a school, office or data room operator is trusting when a crew walks through the door.
How do general contractors book a low voltage crew?
A general contractor can book a low voltage crew for one phase of a build, from a single data closet to cabling across an entire office buildout. Technicians work the schedule the contractor of record sets, coordinate rough-in timing with drywall and carpentry, and hand off tested, labeled cable ready for the next trade. See how a general contractor books a crew for a full project.
Low voltage technicians for homeowners with a defined scope
Homeowners with a clear scope, such as wiring a home office for data drops or adding rough-in for a wall mounted TV, can hire the same technicians directly. The scope should be set before the crew arrives: how many drops are needed, where the TV mounts, and whether any access control or camera wiring is part of the job.
When should low voltage rough-in happen on a project?
Low voltage rough-in happens after framing and before drywall closes, the same window as electrical and plumbing rough-in. Cable has to be pulled and boxes set while the wall cavity is still open. Our drywall crews can close the wall once low voltage rough-in passes inspection, keeping one project on a single schedule. See the full subcontracting services list for every trade that shares this sequence.

FAQ
Low Voltage Technicians, common questions
Where can I find low voltage technicians near me in Columbus, GA?
Total Ease Services places low voltage technicians on projects in Columbus, GA and the surrounding area. Technicians handle structured cabling, AV rough-in and access control or camera rough-in support under the project's licensed contractor of record. See the full list of areas Total Ease Services serves or request a crew through the contact page.
What does a background check cover for a low voltage technician working in a school or office?
Every Total Ease Services low voltage technician passes a background check before starting on a project, covering criminal history so a school, office or data room operator is not letting an unknown person walk through a secure site. The project's licensed low voltage or electrical contractor of record holds the license and signs off on the work; our technicians are placed under that license, not instead of it.
Are low voltage technicians priced per drop or by the hour?
Total Ease Services prices low voltage crews project by project, not with one flat number, because a data closet buildout and a single office cabling job take very different time. What moves the price: the number of drops, Cat6 or Cat6A, wall and ceiling access, and whether AV or access control rough-in is in the scope. Ask through the contact page for a scope-based quote.
What is the difference between a low voltage technician and an electrician on a project?
Low voltage technicians work on data, AV and access control cabling, which carries a few volts and never touches a project's electrical panel. Electricians handle line voltage wiring and are separately licensed for that work. Total Ease Services technicians handle only the low voltage scope, working under the project's licensed low voltage or electrical contractor of record for that portion of the job.
Can low voltage technicians mount the TV or just run the cable?
Total Ease Services technicians run the low voltage cable and set the rough-in point for a wall mounted TV or speaker; mounting the finished bracket is typically part of the same scope once drywall closes. If the wall needs extra backing for a heavy mount, our carpentry crews install that blocking first.
Can a general contractor add low voltage work to a project already underway?
Yes, though it depends on whether walls are already closed. If drywall has not gone up yet, low voltage rough-in fits into the normal schedule. If walls are already closed, technicians can still add cabling using surface raceway or by opening limited sections, though it takes longer than rough-in timed before drywall. Ask about your project through the contact page.
