I would not assume that an electrical engineer would be qualified to do house wiring. Thought your guy may be.
While a EE will (should!) undertand all the concepts, 90% of wiring is mechanical. Some (not all) EEs are awful when it comes to mechanical stuff.
This is SO true. An EE degree is not advanced electrician's training. I must admit that I was drooling at FD's plans to install
Sounds like some wonderful improvements. I have an EE degree and (coincidently) could do the switches and dimmers, but I would hire an electrician rather than attempt to do much more than that myself.recessed can lights (12), outlets, a few 3-way switches, some dimmers, and a couple extra outlets for a microwave and a fridge
