Customer Reviews

NEC 2008 CD Limited to Two Downloads?
The web-based 'key' only lets you install the CD to your hard drive twice. Most of us have a desktop at home and one in the office, plus a laptop for the field. They know this. We need three downloads plus three more for when we upgrade our computer hardware or rebuilkd after a crash. The publisher's tactic is a crime. This will end the era of using any NFPA code materials on my computers, its back to hard copy. AMAZON NEEDS TO STATE THIS TWO-INSTALL LIMITATION IN THIS WEBSITE AD TO PROTECT US. We have no other way to know what we are really buying.

National Electrical Code 2008 Looseleaf Version
The book itself is fine. However, we had problems getting complete copies. Short story, we got several shipments with binders only, no filler. Replacements came in the same condition. Whoever boxed them for shipment didn't pay attention that it was for "books," not binders only. Third time wasn't the charm, we had the backorders cancelled. Regardless of who was "at fault," it created a lot of extra steps to try to resolve the problem. If you order this item, pay attention to what is shipped - don't let it sit for a while before checking the box(es). Again, book "good," packaging "bad."

A must have for DIY electrical work
If you are going to do any electrical work in your home or garage, I highly recommend this publication. Some of the wording and references take some thought to decipher, but this book will save you headaches down the road, either with current electrical code inspections, or selling your home later on.
