Harold:
You may be talking about the "NEC Plus" from NFPA.

Web access to the NEC, for a membership price I believe.

I still prefer a printed book to hold in my hands; but electronically, I prefer the NEC Handbook on CD/DVD.

Heck ... save some cash ... join the IAEI. Three years membership and you get a free NEC.

It is most certainly an IAEI-wide offer.

You should have received a card this year to fill out; the only charge was for shipping. Call Texas and chat with them.

If you join NFPA, there IS a members' discount.

Also, depending on when your jurisdiction adopts the NECŪ, the NFPA Catalog (or online) seems to reduce pricing somewhat as you go farther into the Code cycle, so you might save a little by holding out until when you actually need to apply the newest edition.

I agree that the NECŪ Handbook is worth the extra. Alternatively, for about $12/month or $113/year, NECplus online provides that information PLUS identifies the changes PLUS provides Formal Interpretations PLUS NFPA Staff notes. I use NECplus extensively, but it does have to be used on a computer because of the "panes" (no scrolling within a screen pane on an iPhone or iPad so far).

Also FWIW you can pick up the CHANGES in the 2011 NECŪ (versus 2008) on either your iPhone or Android smartphone for FREE; see http://necchanges.boopsie.com/ ; got to be loaded from your smartphone itself (or the app stores).

That member's "discount" is easily beat when you buy the code at your local supply house, through ECN, through the IAEI, or Mike Holt. No big savings there- and a membership dues far higher than any other 'professional association' I've encountered.

As for the book "Analysis of Changes," that book is included in the price of any code-update seminar.

We've posted here before: you want a wide choice of codes free, the internet is your friend. www.bulkresource.org That's the pl;ace to go.

I am a member of IAEI and NFPA and I do get a free NEC code book every 3 years.

John,

I did see NEC Plus and I bought the NFPA package this year which gives me 3 months of free NEC Plus. The other thing I was talking about was around years ago. Before NEC Plus, someone I knew joined NFPA and paid extra to have the privilege to be able to download sections of the NFPA codes.
