Phillip Hurley does a great job in all of his books. The average person can understand and follow his instructions. This is my third Hurley book and it definitely will not be my last. He covers each step of his projects several times in several different ways in case you didn't understand the first time. Most of his projects can be completed with normal every day tools, a big plus for most of us.

This is the definitive book that all should have in their personal library. Phillip Hurley takes you step by step to energy independence. No fluff here. Well written and thought out and well documented with illustrations and photos. All one needs to know is how operate a soldering iron. Low tech teaching method with high tech results. Want to slash those energy bills? Buy ALL of his books. Not one contains any disappointment.Ed Rivera
