Great reference book. I had some basic electrical knowledge but minimal hands on skills. This book gave me the boost of knowledge and confidence I needed to do all the electrical on a room addition. Not only did I learn wiring basics but also general "good design practices" and became familiar with various wire gauges, types of romex and switch/fixture options to buy the right stuff the first time. Based on this I looked at circuit loads and determined based on general residential 15 amp breakers how many circuits were needed. I installed the breakers and ran the 3 new circuits from the breaker box. I wired and installed three way switches, two way switches, dimmers, canned lights, ceiling fans, standard wall outlets and a series of GFI protected outlets. It took me a bit longer to do the work than a professional but it was well worth it. Based on estimates from electricians I saved over $1000 on the labor.
Now.....this is my "go to" electrical book as a home owner. Using the quick reference pictures (which are excellent!!!)and some common sense I handle all my routine electrical work. I don't do 240V work but I do the 120V stuff and continue to learn. This is a great book!!!
How much I didn't know!! April 11, 2007
