Advanced Home Wiring July 10, 2002
37 out of 37 found this review helpful
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.
 Advanced Home Wiring vs Complete Guide to Home Wiring February 20, 2002

I won't repeat what other reviews had to say about this book. I agree, this is an excellent guidebook particularly the crystal clear circuit maps for common layouts which alone are worth the cost of the book. My book got damaged and I replaced it with B&D's other book, The Complete Guide to Home Wiring, which contains everything found in the Advanced Wiring book plus an additional section with info on basics, small repair projects, and material descriptions. Even if you already know most of this stuff there is always a few more tips you'll pickup by reading through it which I thought was worth the extra 10 bucks. The bottom line: B&D is superior guidebook for Home Wiring due to the comprehensive info they pack in plus tons of helpful photos. Only shortcomings are not enough explanation of grounding principles which I've found in other guides and would have like more tips for working on the service panel.

I found this book to be ideal for my basement project. Lots of detail and great illustrations to make things easy to understand. This is a good reference guide for any do-it-yourselfer.

I purchased this book after looking at many other titles. This is a comprehensive guide, with plenty of practical, easy-to-understand information.

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.
