Customer Reviews Describes pre-construction wiring, July 25, 2002 Reviewer: A reader from East Windsor, NJ USA Buyers who expect this book to describe wiring for completed homes are in for a rude surpise. This book details wiring for a home under **construction**. But the other details like photographs and description are excellent. Advanced Home Wiring, July 10, 2002 Reviewer: Mick Herman from Catheys Valley, CA United States 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 19, 2002 Reviewer: brewmaker2 from Everett, WA 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. Very Informative, April 9, 2001 Reviewer: A reader from Colorado USA 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. Best choice for all types of electrical work, September 25, 1999 Reviewer: A reader from Auburn, NY I purchased this book after looking at many other titles. This is a comprehensive guide, with plenty of practical, easy-to-understand information. For those who ever wanted an extra outlet or switch, May 31, 1999 Reviewer: TinaHdez@webtv.net from Chicago, IL 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. Informative, easy to understand, just what I was looking for, September 20, 1998 Reviewer: A reader from Hamptonville, NC 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. OVERALL IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND EASY TO FOLLOW., July 3, 1998 Reviewer: LANDREAS@POCI.AMIS.COM from POCATELLO, IDAHO OVERALL I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXCELLENT BOOK. LOTS OF PICTURES WITH GOOD DESCRIPTIONS. I DID THINK IT COULD USE SOME MORE DESCRIPTION ON SOME OF THE DIAGRAMS. I AM AN ELECTRO-MECHANICAL TECHNICIAN THAT IS HELPING A FRIEND WIRE HIS HOME AND WILL BE USING THIS BOOK TO HELP WITH THREE WAY SWITCHES AND THE 240V CIRCUITS. IT DOES HAVE SOME CODE REFERENCES AND GOOD TIPS ON WIRING CIRCUITS. great diagrams, clear text, well written, January 15, 1997 Reviewer: A reader as an owner/contracto in the process of wiring my own home, I sought out a book with clear examples. this is it. unlike another volume i have also purchased, this book is long on pictures, short on descriptions (which is good), and quite clear to follow. My only negatives are that in some cases information should have been placed in a table format for quicker reference, and and a few more examples of some types of installations would have been helpful. In general, a good book.
