Household Electrical Troubleshooting

Buy | My Lulu | Community | Help

Home improvement and do-it-yourself resources have been sorely lacking when it comes to tackling home electrical problems - as opposed to electrical projects.

To the rescue is Circuit Down. Available in spiral, normal-bound, and download, this concise, precise, and thorough manual helps you distinguish a short from a loose connection, and a ground-fault from a misconnection. It also helps you find where your electrical malfunction is happening.

The author is Larry Dimock, a residential Master Electrician in Washington state. There he is known as The Circuit Detective, striking terror into the household electrical villains responsible for dead outlets and other mysteries. Larry also advises a do-it-yourself crowd around the U.S. and Canada with his troubleshooting website.
