Residential Electrical Troubleshooting Kindle Edition

by Jesse Kuhlman (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.5 out of 5 stars 113 ratings
When Jesse Kuhlman started this guide, his original intention was for it to be used by his own employees of Kuhlman Electric to refer to and learn from. Jesse takes the education of his company’s employees very seriously and hoped to make them better field electricians. Being an effective troubleshooter, is one of the more difficult things to teach an employee as it requires a lot of experience due to the many different issues one may come across. As he started to develop the guide, Jesse thought why not tweak it, so it could be used by anyone who is interested? The potential audience includes everyone ranging from homeowners who are interested in electrical problems, to field electricians looking to improve their skills.

This guide covers troubleshooting situations that can be found in residential homes including:
* Switches * GFCI's
* Arc-Fault circuit breakers
* Electric Heat
* Electrical Panels
* Lighting
* Basic HVAC systems
* Low voltage doorbell, cable, Cat6 wiring
* Troubleshooting steps depending on situation
* And much more!!

Jesse Kuhlman always said he learned the best from looking at diagrams, and put many in this guide. They can be found throughout and should help the reader in further understanding the material. At the end of writing this guide, Jesse said if this guide helps even one person to be a better electrician, mission accomplished!

    5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT GUIDE FOR DIY LEARNING AND FOLLOW-ON HELP FROM AUTHOR!!!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023
    Verified Purchase
    Jesse's book is an amazing guide for learning how to troubleshoot issues in my older (1954) home. Not only has it answered so many of my questions, but it has also taught me about issues to look out for that I hadn't even thought of. This book is a great teaching tool, troubleshooting guide, and safety reference.

    The diagrams are very easy to follow for a beginner DIYer and the pictures that correspond to them are excellent. Although the book is printed in B&W, Jesse has provided an email address in the beginning so he can send you the full book in color for free, in PDF format. This is to keep his printing costs down so us consumers can pay less. I emailed him with a copy of my Amazon order confirmation and he emailed me the color copy immediately. Honestly, this setup has worked out perfectly for me. I keep the paperback book open to the text for whatever project I'm working on, while I have the pictures open on my tablet, which is going to have better resolution than any printed picture. This way I can also zoom in on the color pics when necessary. Now I can read the text right next to the pics, avoiding any flipping pages back and forth when the pics are on the back of the page I'm reading.

    Another great benefit to this book is Jesse's willingness to answer email questions about my projects and offer helpful hints. He truly is a great guy that wants to help DIYers be safe and save money. I HIGHLY recommend this book and I will be purchasing more of his books. Trust me, you'll be extremely happy with this book!!!

    4.0 out of 5 stars Clear text with much improved illustrations!

    The text is clear, well-organized, and useful. A bit simple, but I believe the author hit the right level for his intended audience.

    The target audience appears to be inexperienced homeowners trying to troubleshoot their own electrical problems. I wish the electrical references to gold (colored) contacts, silver contacts, and wire colors using black and white illustrations were a bit more clear. Take care following the wires and contacts.

    To his credit, the author acknowledged the difficulty of providing color while keeping the cost of publication down. He offers to send a color PDF to verified purchasers. Mr. Kuhlman proved true to his word. He sent the promised PDF within a few hours of my request.

    The author is serious! My request for a color PDF led to some communications. Mr. Kuhlman has been responsive to suggestions to improve the illustrations. Not only did he provide the PDF as promised, but he revised the print copy with clear, distortion-free illustrations that are day-and-night improvement over the original edition.

    I have two additional suggestions, namely, to find a way to denote the colors of wires and connectors in gray scale and to increase the image resolution.

    I recommend.

    Love the book. I have been looking for a guide for my guys for a while. Unfortunately not everyone comes up through the trade the same, and most of the guys haven't ever seen or dealt with half of the things they are running into.

    If you put out a book specifically on HVAC control wiring and troubleshooting those components, I know we would buy a copy for every single employee, both HVAC and electrical.

    Thanks for putting this together, I just ordered 5 more for my guys on Amazon. I look forward to adding these into some of our trainings that we run.

    1.0 out of 5 stars A little Disappointed
    Reviewed in Canada on July 14, 2021
    Verified Purchase
    I received this book and started to read with a lot of excitement; However was disappointed because the information in this book is very basic. Still reading it, and still will keep the book. But my expectation was to at least learn few things. One more disappointment was the pictures in the book; first of all they are black and white, some pictures are not even clear. You simply don't use black and white pictures in instructional books like electrical troubleshooting. I was very disappointed with the quality of the pictures of the book.
