Access Control = Opportunity for Electricians

Written by Aly Beach Tuesday, March 25, 2025 Posted in General News

Why You Should Be Installing Access Control Systems  

Access control is booming, and electricians are perfectly positioned to win this work. If you're not offering it yet, you're leaving high-margin jobs on the table.

Let's break down the top 5 common concerns we hear - and why now is the time to get on board.

 

 1. "I'm not an access control or networking expert."

You don't need to be. 

Today's systems are often plug-and-play cloud-based. We'll walk you through the basics, provide training, and assist with system design. If you can run power and terminate wires, you're 90% there.

 

2. "Too much coordination with other trades."  

You're the ideal contractor to lead.

You're already on-site and trusted by GCs and owners. Adding access control makes you the go-to contractor and puts you in charge of more of the job!

 

3. "Too much liability - What about code compliance?" 

You're already doing code-compliant work.

You already know electrical and fire codes — Access control just adds a layer. With the right commissioning steps and documentation, you're covered. Plus, we have locking experts to support you.

 

The Bottom Line:  

Access control is high-demand, high-margin work in today's industry, and it's easier than you think. With a bit of training and the right support from Aartech, you can:

  • Win more bids
  • Build recurring service earnings
  • Expand revenue streams
  • Offer proactive solutions
