The electrical system in your home may seem like a complicated, mysterious beast, ready to breathe fire or deliver shocks at any time. It is somewhat complicated, and in an older home it may actually be a dangerous beast, but the system itself is mostly straightforward. Even if you never intend to attempt a wiring project more complicated than changing out a ceiling fixture, it is important to understand how the electrical system in your home works.

HomeSkills: Wiring explains the current standards in home wiring and explains how to test and evaluate your home’s system. Illustrations of all the most common types of electrical cables, receptacles, and switches are provided, with explanations of how they function. You will learn why it is important to update a service panel or install AFCI protection. You will learn what it means to blow a fuse or trip a circuit, how to remedy the problem, and whether something should be done as a longer?term solution. Detailed directions for installing in either new construction or finished areas are given. Most wiring tasks do not require high levels of skill. They do, however, require a great deal of attention to the details of meeting the current codes which protect us from dangerous and costly misuse of wiring. Safety is very important when dealing with something as powerful as electricity. Hundreds of people die each year from electrocution, or from fires started by improper wiring. Make sure that your wiring project is safe and appropriate by getting a permit and having your work inspected.
