Do you need an electrician?

Yes, for anything that touches line voltage. In Nevada, electrical contracting is licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board, then permitted and inspected locally. A smart home or a commercial AV fit-out depends on that power, so the cleanest projects put the electrician and the systems engineers on one team.

What counts as electrical work on a technology project?

More than most owners expect. Dedicated circuits for the equipment rack. Power to every motorized shade and every lighting keypad. Circuits for outdoor displays, gate operators and landscape transformers. In a commercial building, add panel capacity, emergency lighting and the conduit that carries everything else.

The low voltage side, the data cable, speaker wire and control lines, runs alongside all of it. When two companies own those two halves, the drawings disagree before the first wall is framed.

What goes wrong when power and technology are separate trades?

The usual story: the AV company asks for a circuit after the electrician has finished rough-in, the wiring stage before drywall. A keypad lands where the electrical drawing shows a switch. Shade power ends up on the wrong side of the window. Each fix is small. Together they cost weeks, and they're why a system that looked right on paper arrives late.

One team removes the hand-off. Power, lighting and technology are drawn together, run together and inspected together.

How does CORVX handle the electrical side?

CORVX holds a Nevada C-2 electrical contractor's license and is a technology company too. Our master electrician and systems engineers work from one drawing set, so the rack circuit, the shade feeds and the keypad locations are settled before rough-in starts.

On commercial projects that means one crew to your program, coordinated drawings against your set, and inspections booked with the local building department. On homes it means one company, one contract and one number to call. More on the electrical service.

How do you check a contractor's license in Nevada?

  • Ask for the license number and the business name it's issued to.
  • Look it up on the Nevada State Contractors Board website, nscb.nv.gov.
  • Check that the license covers the work in your scope and that the name matches the company on your contract.

Questions

Does low voltage work need a license in Nevada?

Nevada licenses contractors by classification, and the right one depends on the scope of work. Ask your contractor which classification covers your project and confirm it on the Nevada State Contractors Board website.

Can one company do the electrical and the smart home work?

Yes, when it holds the right license. CORVX does both, which removes the hand-off between trades and the delays that come with it.

Do you work on commercial and residential projects?

Both: commercial fit-outs and refreshes, and custom homes and renovations across the Las Vegas valley.
