In NH a homeowner can legally do his own wiring subject to the towns
electrical inspectors sign-off.
In 1989 I ran #12 to every 120V circuit in the house with 15A outlets. For
branch runs to ceiling lights and fans #14 was used for convenience.
The inspector said it was the neatest and best installation he had ever
seen.
