It depends. If you're not installing an electric outlet for your iron, you may not need help installing the board. On the other hand, if the location of the board requires installation of a wall plug, you certainly need an electrician to do this. You may also need help with the installation if the ironing board is heavy. Some wall-mounted boards, especially the ones that have a cabinet (and even some that use mounting plates), can weigh as much as 40 or 50 lbs. Attempting to lift such heavy units on your own can strain your back, so have someone help you with the installation.
