Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The primary intimidating factor in working with electricity (and the thing that frightens many people away from even trying to do home wiring projects) is, obviously, the fact that it can be dangerous--even deadly--if not done properly and if appropriate safety precautions are not taken. Rex Cauldwell has put together one of the most comprehensive, basic, step-by-step guides on the subject. It is clearly organized, well referenced, and includes everything you need to know to do home wiring projects safely and correctly the first time.


From Library Journal

Electricity is a mysterious (and somewhat scary) subject for most people, even those who complete many of their own repairs. Not so for Cauldwell, a master electrician with over 20 years' experience, who shows how the average do-it-yourselfer can safely perform many tasks usually reserved for electricians. He starts by explaining basic electrical principles and shows which tools to use. A section on inspecting your home's electrical system is particularly helpful, describing various hazards and pitfalls. Other sections cover repairing wiring switches and receptacles and installing light fixtures, ceiling and bathroom fans, and home entertainment systems. Profusely illustrated, safety-oriented, and including sections on troubleshooting and a glossary, this is an excellent title for beginners. Recommended for all public libraries.?Jonathan N.

5.0 out of 5 stars Focus on quality and safety, June 20, 2002
By A Customer
In "Safe Home Wiring Projects," Rex Cauldwell focuses on two things: quality and safety. He shows you how to choose quality receptacles, light fixtures, tools, and other equipment. He also shows you how to do safe, high-quality wiring. While most of us are tempted to buy the cheapest equipment that will get the job done, or buy light fixtures based on looks only, Rex Cauldwell provides good reasons to consider other criteria. The book is well-written and very easy to understand, and the illustrations are numerous and clear. This book is best for those looking for an introductory text -- it covers mostly basic projects, and doesn't cover anything that would involve opening the main panel.

When it comes to electrical wiring, you can't afford to skimp on quality or safety. Armed with the knowledge in this book, a homeowner can do home wiring confidently, and rest easy with the knowledge that the job was done correctly.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good writing, illustration for average do-it-yourselfer., September 25, 1999
By Sean P. Woods (Massachusetts, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book combined a simple, easy-to-understand text with deatailed pictures. Although at some times the illustrations were hard to understand, they still get their point accross and do it very effectively.
