What is a Technology Systems Contractor?

• Any low voltage electrical work must be performed by a "Technology Systems Contractor". This includes all irrigation and landscape lighting work - wiring the valves, wiring the controller, wiring the rain sensor, wiring light fixtures, wiring transformers, and installing the direct burial 24 volt wire that controls the entire irrigation system.
• A "Technology Systems Contractor" must be registered with the State, employ a power limited technician, post a Bond, and provided proof of insurance that meets all State standards.
• To see if your potential contractor is licensed, you can contact the State at 651-284-5064 or website at www.electricity.state.mn.us.
• It is the Law. Don’t let your contractor say differently. Every irrigation contractor must have a current license.
• Our Technology Systems Contractor license number is TS01645.
• Ask to see it before any work is performed. Protect Yourself!

What is a Back Flow Preventer?

• All plumbing work associated with the installation of a back-flow preventer must be performed by a licensed plumber.
