Should I have my contractor do low voltage prewire or pay more?

Hi,

I am really having a dilemma. My contractor explained he can prewire all the low voltage but he recommends I purchase the wiring and tell him where I want it. I understand what i want for the end result but I need some consulting. If i go with him the price is 50% less but lose in confidence. What do you recommend?


Thinking:

  • 5.1 speaker for tv in Main Family Room and Coax and Cat6.
  • Cat6 and Coax for possible future television in Master Bedroom
  • Cat6 and Coax in Office
  • nothing in other rooms.
  • For Additional Dwelling unit. Cat5 and Coax in family room for TV
  • Prewire 2 doorbells with Cat6
  • Swing Frame Rack and 16-port unmanaged switch


Professionals are charging about 5k for this work

Contractor about 2.5k



Thanks,

Meghan
