Editorial Reviews:

Earlier editions of The Complete Guide to Home Wiring sold more than 500,000 copies, and this expanded new book includes all the tried-and-true projects from earlier editions, updated to feature the latest fixtures. The book now meets the requirements of the 2005 National Electrical Code, including important changes for bathroom, kitchen and utility area wiring. No book is more complete when it comes to traditional wiring, but this is only the beginning. One of the biggest challenges facing homeowners today is hooking up the many electronic components they own-computers and printers, home theaters and surround-sound systems, CD and DVD and DVR units, to name a few. Getting electronics to operate together correctly has its own dedicated chapter on how to solve this common source of frustration. You'll learn everything you need to know about home media connections, including how to create a high-definition home theater with surround-sound. And the newest wave in home wiring is to lose the wires altogether. Technologies with names such as "Bluetooth" and "wi-fi" are creating homes with fewer and fewer wires and greater and greater freedom of movement and communication. The final chapter in this book covers this exciting technology, and will show you how to integrate computers, printers, telephones, audio and video equipment, and more-all with no wires attached.

User Comments about the The Black & Decker Complete Guide to Home Wiring - 3rd Edition: Includes Information on Home Electronics & Wireless Technology (Black & Decker Complete Guide)

One thing it cannot do is tell about "local" restrictions and regulations but it does let you know that there may be local restrictions on some methodologies. I thoroughly enjoy this book. It is well illustrated and informative. I highly recommend this book to everyone. I would recommend it to anyone.

Take the time to ship in rugged envelopes or find some boxes you can mail flat items in. That is until the shipper rolled it into the smallest box possible, creating a permanent wave in the binding. This is a great used book and it was in excellant condition. I am all for recycling materials but would love to see the day when used book sellers ship books flat. Books never roll well. Please eliminate the roll.

More illustrations need to be added of examples of circuits and setups of connecting to breakers.But excellent book. I think its THE BEST i have seen.

I bought this because I am an avid DIYer and wanted to run electricity to my shed but was unsure exactly how I wanted to do it. Not only did this book show me what I needed to know, but it gave me more ideas for the future.

It is very thorough and it has helped me identify electrical mistakes in my house from the previous occupants, such as reversed polarity on outlets which I was changing over to GFCI. I live in an older house and I have had this book for a while now. It gets referenced every time I need to do electrical work. This book is an excellent addition to any homeowners library and very much worth the 17 bucks. Even if I feel comfortable with what I am doing I still reference the sections pertaining to what I am doing just to make sure I am doing it right.
