That does not mean that an intelligent, non electrician person can not safely and correctly do electrical work, but some electricians will lead you to believe that. The fact is it is perfectly legal, safe, and acceptable to do your own electrical work in your own home, it is not legal to do your own A/C work unless you have a license.
And more importantly, you can't do A/C work without also doing electrical work. Unless maybe you build a gas powered air conditioner....

It's funny you say that. The guy that used to own my shop building is an electrician. He owns his own commercial electrical contracting business. He did all the electrical in the building himself, and did a terrible job. Some things very unsafe, and not even close to meeting code. The main service cable is undersized, for example.
My point? That little license from the govt doesn't give somebody magical powers. There are plenty of non licensed folks on this forum doing their own A/C and electrical work without issue.
