Great book to take you through a wide variety of electrical projects from simple repairs to full scale remodeling. Appropriate for the homeowner to understand what is really involved in all types of projects. Use it as a reference for small projects and a primer for meeting with your electrician. Includes discussion of new construction as well as finish installation. ... show more

    • I rewired my entire house using this book
Bought a house that had ungrounded NM wire from the 1940s, so it was time to upgrade. This book did an excellent job of showing how to wire all of my runs for every room in the house, to a subpanel in a guest house, and to my heat pumps outside. The charts, diagrams, and example layouts were incredibly helpful. My code inspector was very impressed with the work. I only encountered a few minor issues: I noticed that the diagrams for 3-way switches in the book sometimes used 1 more conductor than the instructions that came with my 3-way switches. My code inspector was fine with me using the simpler method. The book mentions that AFCI circuits should be used in all livable rooms. That apparently also includes dedicated smoke detector circuits, which the book omits to specifically mention. The example for double receptacle small appliance circuits shows the two 12/2 circuits interleaving between receptacles. You can also split the room in half and use the #1 circuit on one side and the #2 circuit on the other. ... show more

    • I love the Black and Decker books for home improvement
Review Image by D. Ryan D. Ryan
(Update 2022). The latest version that I just purchased has actually improved significantly. Instead of sitting on their hands, Black & Decker has upped their game. Not only did they have the updated code added but this book also has a lot of new graphics and improved (simplified) explanations. I don’t rate a lot of things this highly, but I continue to use this book to add to my projects list. The only thing that I would ask is that a book for solar and battery backups be added and a book on HVAC. Basically I want more of these books because they are so well done. I love the Black and Decker books for home improvement. I have wired an entire house using the book. The writing is simple enough for a layman to understand and the pictures support the learning objectives. I have never even taken an electrical class. When my brother was taken in by an electrician who walked off the job with all his money and a 20% done house, he was in trouble. He just did not have the funds to recover. I started with a single room and a few outlets. Using the book I was able to complete both apartments in his house. I cannot rave enough about how much this book taught me. I am now going to completely redo my own house (because why not test out my skills on my brother's place first right?) After reviewing the latest edition, I have no doubts I will be able to pass on the first inspection try as I did with my brother's house. ... show more

This book is fantastic. I learned more reading the first 1/4 of this book than I did from hours of Googling. Not only should everyone have this book who's interested in electrical work -- but every library should stock this! I'm going to recommend my library buy it since it'd be such a fantastic resource. ... show more

Straight forward and easy read. Read through and was able to wire up my garage. Had to supplement a bit to make sure I was up to date with local regulations and the latest NEC handbook. But this book was a great resource to have. Passed the inspection without issue, the inspector was impressed with everything. ... show more
