Its not a do-it -yourself job... it has to be inspected and you have to know the NEC code as well as be familiar with all local codes... Harry Homeowner isn't going to do it and get it to pass inspection. At least in the USA and Canada.

Mistakes can be very expensive to correct and end up costing more than paying a pro to do it right the first time.

And do it without inspection and you will find your homeowners insurance will legally not have to honor any claim if it burns down.

While wiring a home is easy, or appears so, once you know all of the codes and requirements to wire it properly, the task is to know exactly what to do.

This takes time to learn.

For example, there is a code that tells us the dimensions of how and where to staple a cable, how much wire to leave in a box, how many wires can be in a box, so many little details that is needed.

You can do a web search for how to wire a house.

I found: How To Wire a House that offers several DVD's books, etc, to purchase.

Many people do not want to pay electricians for something they think is simple.

By the time you buy DVD's books, etc, to try and understand how to wire a home, purchase the proper tools, figure out what the proper materials are needed, then do it, take 2- 3 weeks to get it done and I guarantee something will be done incorrectly, you could had save substantial money by hiring a contractor that would come in and get it done in a couple of days.

I never actually counted, but once completed, there would be somewheres around 1000 wire connections in an average home. I may be way off, but in any case my point is there are al lot of connections.

Every connection is a possible problem, either with power going on and off, and ultimately a fire hazard.

Do the web serch for the training products your seeking. Be sure to consult with your local electric utility for their requirements, and the local electrical inspector for what they require.

Unless you have previous experience with doing electrical work, proerly, I believe you will see that this is a huge responsibility to get a simple home wired properly.

Keep in mind, once you wire anything, you assume all responsibility and liability for the safety of the actual structure, and most importantly, the safety of any occupants of the home.
