Great for Beginners February 20, 2006

I'm a "shade tree" electrician, doing very basic jobs here and there in our house. Recently I had a ceiling fan with three-way switches that I couldn't figure out. Complicating matters is that there was an extra line going into the box. With the help of the clear diagrams in this book (pages 164 and 166, specifically) I was able to confidently rewire the box and make the fan, light and switches work properly for the first time in 3 1/2 years. This is typical of what is possible using this book. The clear diagrams show different ways to be able to work on things with confidence, which is half the battle.
Highly recommended.
Best DIY book I've ever read! December 13, 2007

All I planned to do was to add a new outlet in my bathroom. NOW, however, I plan to add a few, add a new circuit to the panel box, add a few outdoor lights and install 3 recessed lights above my bed in the master bedroom along with a switch so I can turn them off before I go to sleep. Heck, I should make it a two-way switch so I can turn them on when I come in the room.
This book started me from the beginning - planning and how to ensure I wasn't putting too much on one circuit. Explains basic concepts if you care to read them, and how to fix, add or change just about anything electrical in exactly the detail needed to be confident you can do it.
I'm a mother of two trying to re-do my bathrooms and not have to fork out 150k (the estimate I got for a bathroom remodel). I am buying the other Stanley books now - tiling is next!
Great reference book July 21, 2008

This book has got to be one of the best illustrated wiring books. I have used this book for multiple minor projects. The photographs allow you to follow closely and clearly as to the correct process for wiring. I lost my 1st book to rain, just ordering my office reference book now. Now I have a "working copy" and a home reference copy (safetly tucked away). The book is good enought that I bought it twice.
Great & useful August 16, 2007

This is a really well designed text. Very userfriendly. They talk you through sections that might give you pause, and give you plenty of well-taken photos to document what they mean/for you to look for.
The honest truth is, 99% of home wiring can be done by you, with the basic tools you probably already own. This text will help you get those done. From the planning, to the purchasing, to the work itself, just take a deep breath, and a few bookmarks handy.
Well Thoughtout and Carefully Planned July 25, 2008

The Stanley Complete Wiring Book is great for tackling the weekend projects all the way to completely wiring an entire house.
The book is laid out in easy to find sections with easy to follow instructions and detailed steps. The pages are not cheap, thin pages but heavy, glossy, easy to turn pages. The book has over 800 full-color pictures and detailed illustrations.
Whatever your project is, you can find it in this book. Each project begins with a prestart checklist and tips. It also includes problem solving and explains options. At the end of the book, it includes metric conversions.
Sections include:
Working Safely, Getting Ready, Checking Your Electrical System, Basic Techniques, Repairs, Switches and Receptacles, Lights and Fans, Planning New Electrical Service, Installing Cable and Boxes, New Receptacles and Lights, Installing Fans and Heaters, Household Voice, Data and Security, Outdoor Wiring, and Appliances and New Circuits
This book has everything a homeowner needs to know about wiring. Good book. Highly recommend.
