Bottom line... you may be better off just paying him to do the wiring for you.

I have no problem paying for any problems I create or signing an exclusion. Outside the money, my biggest worry is that the wiring would be done by an electrician instead of someone specialized in A/V and networking.
So if I picked up contractors insurance and essentially became a subcontractor, couldn't I get around this that way? This would of course depend on the cost of the insurance. If i could pick up a few more houses, Id love to wire houses as a side job.
