Confirm This Is the Right License for Your Work

The Georgia Statewide class LV-A low voltage contractor licenses are restricted to alarm and general system low-voltage contracting. The Low Voltage Alarm License allows work that falls under alarm work as well as the scope of services listed for General Low Voltage.

Alarm Systems license covers any device or combination of devices used to detect a situation, causing an alarm in the event of a burglary, fire, robbery, medical emergency, or equipment failure, or on the occurrence of any other predetermined event.
