My dad’s an electrician. I worked for him once upon a time and later I did low voltage electrical construction. He says that the standards change too often, and it’s different enough to be considered a totally different field. When I went to do low voltage later I realized what he meant. Stereo and security installations just isn’t something you want your electrician, whose knowledge mostly revolves around huge, 1000+ amp panels, to be doing. There’s way more money in commercial installs, so most electricians only do residential work to tide them over. My dad doesn’t even want to terminate anything more complicated than 4 conductor phone wire, and would pull me into a job just for that reason.
