Well, the engineering panels around here believe I'm qualified to do my own electrical work, but I wouldn't get on the bureaucracy of convincing my local power company.

Anyway, home wiring is not hard, and many people do it for a living with a ridiculously low amount of qualification (and competence). If you are not touching the public wires, the safety rules are very simple and the odds are good that you can give them more care than somebody that has been doing the work every day for a decade.

(But well, if you don't know how to do it safely, or if you won't be bothered to follow them, you shouldn't be doing it.)
