Review by Library Journal Review

Wiring is an important element of every home. Coauthors McAlister, a licensed electrician and contractor, and Litchfield, a building professional and founding editor of Fine Homebuilding magazine, have home improvement books to their credit and wrote the first two editions of this title. There is a quality level of illustration and instruction here, offering consistently clear diagrams and pictures. Safety and code considerations are highlighted. While most of the material can be found in the book's previous versions, the new information is worth the replacement. This edition features video doorbells, smart thermostats, smart house features, and charging docks for electric cars. -VERDICT This is as close to a bible of home wiring as you can get and is a key book for any renovator or builder. A necessary purchase. © Copyright 2017. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
