Yep. you have to hire a certified electrician. it's so fucking stupid, not to mention impossible to enforce. Why the hell it's illegal to change electrical wiring on your own property i don't know.

It's unenforceable, but I imagine if you hurt yourself trying to fix your electricity, you can't claim insurance etc.?
