About Us

History
Carol Fey & Associates, Inc. and P.I.G. Press were founded in 2000 with the publication of the book Quick & Basic Electricity. Carol had been teaching electricity classes to plumbing and heating contractors in her job as the Honeywell controls rep in Colorado, Utah, New Mexico and Wyoming.
When she decided to "write the book," first she called Dan Holohan of Heatinghelp.com and asked him, "If I write a book on basic electricity for contractors, would you put it in your catalog?" He said, "Absolutely--write the book." And so she did. The book was very favorably reviewed by Popular Mechanics magazine, and sales started before she knew what was happening.

Other books soon followed: Quick & Basic Hydronic Controls, Quick & Basic Troubleshooting, and Quick & Basic House Wiring. In the first five years, over 10,000 books were sold, primarily to plumbing and heating professional contractors.

Besides writing books to make technical subjects easy, Carol teaches live classes in basic electricity and controls. She specializes in teaching what a contractor needs to know, and--as importantly--nothing that he or she doesn't need. She has a reputation for her playful and energetic style, and is known as "The Pig Lady" because she uses a battery-powered pink plush pig to teach electrical circuits.

Carol also writes a monthly column for Plumbing & Mechanical (PM) Magazine.  (Find a selection of her articles in our  Library.)
