Very good book for the serious DIY'er

All the good books on home wiring do a good job of covering the basic, functional end of wiring; how to connect wires, wiring three way switches, etc. What makes this book stand out is that it helps you design an electrical system for a residential home. This is valuable to those who might be planning on building their own home, or someone who is doing a total overhaul of an older home's electrical service (replacing fuses with breakers, etc.). There are many references to the National Elecric Code.

A good book for residential wiring

Wiring a house involves two basic tasks; designing the system, and then doing the work. Most electrical books concentrate on teaching you how to do the work, and ignore the overall design, or layout of the electrical system. If you're re-wiring a house, or starting from scratch, you need this book. This book references the National Electric Code extensively, so you know you're following the latest approved practices.
