HVAC Beginner's Guide to Systems

Two things become immediately apparent upon reading this book: 1. It is very information dense! I was initially nervous when I saw how thin it seemed, but the author utilizes every page to fill potential. No wasted space with superfluous diagrams or stock photos. Everything has a purpose. 2. The author is GENUINELY PASSIONATE about HVAC systems! This isn’t a bland technical manual, it’s a labor of love! This is entire HVAC course, taught by an engaging and enthusiastic instructor. I am completely new to HVAC systems, and this book is amazing! ______ If you are someone who gets overwhelmed by blocks of text, this book might seem daunting, but if you are one who loves info-dumping and full details, this book is for you! (Heck, even if you do get overwhelmed by text blocks, I’d still recommend this book as a backbone reference to HVAC system.)

A very good read with lots of valuable information.

I bought this for my grandson who said he wanted to do what I did. I spent 46 years in the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. I haven’t read through the book entirely but it seems to be a good book for basic understanding of a/c.

Shipped in a timely manner. Easy to read and includes some graphs. I wish it went more into detail on certain things but it is a great piece for a collection.

This book has a diagram of the cooling system of a car (yes, an automobile) on the cover, a subject which isn't covered in the book at all. It is, though, the most detailed and specific information in the entire book. The rest is a mass of vague generalities, and may well have been written by AI. If you want to learn how HVAC systems work, with a view to being able to troubleshoot and repair them, look almost anywhere else.
