edit:
Just to let you know the reasons for me thinking of this....My Uncle is an electrician and he said that he was supposed to be the one doing all wireing behind walls and places that were not directly visable. I think I am going to go see if I can find out if he knew what he was talking about or if he doesnt.

vanq: what your uncle is talking about is electrical power supply wiring, ie wiring that carries supply current, as opposed to just carrying signals, like cable tv, phone, internet, speaker wires, etc. essentially it boils down to whether the wires in question have the capability to kill you if you do it wrong.
also, depending on the area, there may or may not be a legal requirement that a certified electrician does the wiring. however, in all cases, wiring of that sort is supposed to be inspected by a certified electrician/inspector (often the power company will send out someone to inspect the setup before they will ever hook you into the grid.)
