People are generally not schooled in the fundamentals of electrical home wiring, and is something they want to leave to the professionals.

Electricity is something we all take for granted, but it requires a technical knowledge to install in your home. The electric circuits that have to be created within a home are many and vary from home to home, and a professional electrician is needed to make sure everything meets with the electrical code.

When our electrician had finished wiring our "skeleton" home (before the insulation was installed) I knew why we needed a professional. This job was certainly not one I'd want someone who was just learning the profession to be doing.

RL knows electricity quite well, but he wouldn't even tackle a job this big and I wouldn't want him to either. He studied electronics at an electronic tech school, and he worked in the field of electronics for years, but he's not an electrician. He would never try to mastermind the wiring of an entire home without an electrician looking over his shoulder to make sure he did everything correctly. That's why he didn't even try to wire our home.

If a mistake is made, it is possible that fire can occur, and none of us want that to happen.

It is amazing when you see a home completely wired before the insulation is installed. There are wires going every which way. Leave it to the professional to wire your home, unless you are an electrician yourself.
