This book was NOT written as a step by step guide of how to make a total electrical inspection, but rather as a guide to make certain the Home Inspector is not overlooking the critical areas that have started fires and caused accidents.

Experienced investigators uniformly cite high-resistance connections as the most common electrical cause of fires. It has been estimated that 90% of electrical failures occur at connections. Loose wire connections at the receptacle outlets and switches are a common reason for an electrical fire in a residence.

The 14 chapters are: History, Code Violations, The Service, Grounding, Overcurrent Protection (circuit breaker or fuse), Receptacles, Flexible Cords, Wiring, Electricity, The Circuit, Voltage Drop, Loose connections, AFCI, Summary. 149 pages

The two DVDs have approximately 3 hours of demonstrations of appliance overloads, cord and receptacles short circuits, the actual time it takes for a circuit breaker and fuse to open under the same conditions with an overload and short circuit, branch circuits being load tested with the circuit analyzer, over 35 demonstrations, etc...
