We pick up the live stream after a rough month and dive straight into the most asked questions on getting into limited energy: tools, licenses, certifications, first-day tactics, site safety, career ladders, and the real work behind the title. Along the way, we flag code changes for 2026, unravel myths about sprinklers, and share practical tips to stand out from day one.

• limited energy rebrand, PBB acronym, upcoming episodes on 2026 code and extended Ethernet
• what counts as low voltage across structured cabling, access control, DAS, fire alarm, fiber
• PoE beyond access points, smart buildings, IoT as growth paths
• licensing differences for workers vs companies, union considerations
• when to buy tools, buy once buy right, what basics to expect
• BICSI Tech prep, FiberU.org, test-only pitfalls, cost reality
• certifications vs on-the-job learning, signaling commitment
• entry roles, quality checks, documenting and communicating
• daily life: early starts, PPE, lifts, crawlspaces, teamwork with other trades
• career ladder from helper to PM to leadership, specialization options
• construction site rules and culture, safety orientations, logistics
• mistakes to avoid: not listening, rushing, poor labeling, cable protection
• sprinkler pipe code reminder: nothing touches, compliance first
• first-day playbook: arrive early, ask questions, write notes, quality before speed
