Because if you do it wrong and kill someone or burn your house down or any of the other innumerable bad things a 5+kW combustion engine device can do, it's your fault, and your insurance may not even cover it (not to mention any legal issues). Having a properly licensed/bonded electrician do it, generally, will keep the liability out of your hands.
Given how cheap it was for the actual labor, I'm not comfortable taking that risk. YMMV.
- ars 14y agoDo you know how many things you can do wrong and kill someone? This is way down on the list. Hire someone if you want, but don't tell people "no exceptions" there are plenty of quite handy people who would have no trouble doing this properly. Like you said: It's not really that hard.
