Low Voltage / Limited Energy Subcontractors in Florida

Yes. Low voltage and limited-energy work is regulated statewide by the Electrical Contractors' Licensing Board (ECLB) under the DBPR. Low voltage subs typically hold a limited-energy specialty license (prefix ES with the ENRG class code), distinct from a general electrical contractor's license.

Not by default. Low voltage is a separate limited-energy specialty under the ECLB. A sub doing data/comm, security, audio/video, or structured cabling in Florida typically holds the limited-energy specialty license rather than the general electrical (EC or ER) license.

The technology and security drawings and Division 27 and 28 spec sections, a scope inclusion and exclusion list (structured cabling, racks, access control, cameras, AV, paging, testing and certification), any long-lead items, the bid deadline, and whether a site visit is required.

Yes. GCs post an RFQ and invite matched subs by trade and service area; invited subs are notified and can submit a bid for your bid prep.

Listings are seeded from public Florida DBPR license data, and a sub can claim its listing and upload a credential for a one-time review. The badge reflects what was reviewed: a verified state license earns License Verified — the usual path for a low voltage sub — a verified certificate of insurance earns Insurance Verified, and a sub with both reviewed shows the Verified Pro umbrella.
