"Your house and electrical wiring is yours, and you have the right to do with it what you want. That said, we highly recommend you leave it to professionals."

This is not mixed messaging, this is just advice. Mixed messaging would be something along the lines of: "Your house and electrical wiring is yours, and you have the right to do with it what you want. That said, you are not allowed to do what you want." Mixed messaging colloquially means contradictory statements.

    “Your house and electrical wiring is yours, and you have the right to do with it what you want. That said, we highly recommend you leave it to professionals.”

    Your house is not delivered with documentation for the wiring. Further, fucking up the wiring in your house can literally kill you, so no, this is not an apt analogy.

    Mixed messaging colloquially means contradictory statements.

    No, that's a contradiction. "Mixed" is exactly what it sounds like. The messaging is unclear.
