Reddit reviews Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring, Updated 7th Edition: Current with 2017-2020 Electrical Codes (Black & Decker Complete Guide)

Black & Decker The Complete Guide to Wiring is an amazing book for Home Inspectors (and home owners) that explains all of residential electricity including service entrance conductors, sub panels, circuits, electrical converstion etc. Tons of pictures and diagrams.

There are several books out there that should help you out with understanding home wiring. Here's one.

The main things you'll need to look into are how to add a circuit breaker and a completely new circuit, how to branch off an existing circuit, how much you're allowed to put on a single circuit, how to properly ground everything, and what kinds of wiring and outlets you should be using where (15A vs. 20A, which wire gauge to use, GFCI, etc). Those are just the things that come to mind, but when you're DIY wiring, it's important to read through a whole book like the one I linked and make sure you're completely comfortable and knowledgeable about the whole process and how everything works. Don't do anything until there's no question in your mind that you're doing it the right way.

Ignore the advice from that poster. This is incorrect. Black and Decker has an extremely good book for reference. Goes into detail for how to do common electrical jobs and the reasoning behind choices.

It is very common for a do-it-yourself homebuilder, or a general contractor, to field out certain things to specialist tradesmen subcontractors. Plumbing and electrical are two of the top ones. The consequences for getting something wrong are ugly. Some learning experiences in electrical & plumbing will kill you, some will destroy the house. Mostly they'll just fail you inspections and cause expensive delays.
