Book Description

Advanced techniques for the next step in home wiring

 

Once homeowners have mastered the surprisingly easy techniques for basic repair of switches, outlets and light fixtures, they’re ready for the real cost savings that come with installing entire circuits all by themselves. Advanced Home Wiring is the book for those readers.

 

The original 1992 edition quietly become one of the all-time best sellers among books on wiring for homeowners, selling more than half a million copies.  Many readers of the original book reported saving thousands of dollars by installing their own circuit wiring in room additions and for major remodeling projects. This new edition continues the tradition, with all the original information, plus key new projects— all updated to reflect the recent changes in electrical codes across North America.

Advanced Home Wiring July 10, 2002
Format:Paperback
I purchased this book at the same time that I purchased Black and Decker's THE COMPLETE GUIDE TO HOME WIRING, thinking that it would take me to the next level and provide me with additional information. In a nutshell it was merely an abridged version of the aforementioned book and added NO NEW information. It was easy to read, and easy to follow, but omitted some of the basic background information that their other book included. I think the novice home electrician could get by with either book, although I give the nod to the COMPLETE GUIDE..... as a more helpful and a more thorough instruction and reference book.

Procedures are clearly explained with plenty of visuals. It is like having a good coach. You are guided to make a plan. You are cautioned on safety measures. There are numerous citations from the The National Electrical Code Reference Book with regard to placement of receptacles, and standard wiring procedure. You will learn about electrical panel boxes, end of run and hot wires. Most importantly you get advice on how to evaluate your needs by converting watts to amps. A must read for homeowners.

Advanced Home Wiring tells you everything you need to know about wiring your house from the beginning to the end. Each chore is thoroughly explained with both color pictures and text. The majority of pictures are photographs and the latest technology is shown. Not only does it instruct you in the actual wiring of receptacles, switches, etc. but it also goes into detail how to install such things as boxes, ceiling fans, exhaust fans, and sub-panels. Outside wiring and use of conduit is included. It details how to determine how many receptacles to put on a circuit and how to plan your entire project. I was most happy with it. I have become a fan of Black and Decker books.

Wiring
The book overall was O.K. It did not show me how to wire what I was trying to wire. With the books help I think I have figured it out, maybe.

This electrical home repair book is really great. It shows you how to really get the job done, by using pictures and diagrams of electrical jobs that even a "dummy" can do. Read more
