Not necessarily. While some Luminetworx Certified Dealers are electricians, Luminetworx is comprised almost entirely, of low voltage components, and need not be installed by a certified electrician.  However, local laws and building codes prevail, and may require the use of a licensed electrician or low voltage technician (ex. BICSI TECH).  In any case, LV Energy Systems recommends the installation be performed by a Luminetworx Certified integrator.  But whether electrician or low voltage integrator, we always suggest contracting only experienced and insured contractors.
