Not because he's not capable, rather because any little nit pick item that may come up electrically oriented within the first year will not be covered.
It's obvious to me that if the buyer changed out his existing meter can and power center for the home that he's more than capable of energizing the new power center for the digital controller off of a new double throw breaker.
I know the owner of his pool company is a good man, and as long as he doesn't add any incurred costs to his spread he'll oblige the homeowners requests. The question is will the subcontractor that the work is assigned to oblige him too.

One of the biggest reasons, aside from the additional profitability and scheduling on my timeline, that I keep the bulk of our work inhouse is situations just like this. Subs are accustomed to getting their way because 99 out of 100 pool builders are only capable of the most important job descriptions of all, the selling of the work and the cutting of the checks. I can assure you of this, the builder needs the sub more than the sub needs the builder.

See ya,
