 Good Cheap Starter Book May 05, 2009
By Clifford Goodrich
I should give it 5 stars for the price. It's a book full of troubleshooting detail, but you have to learn the material to find it. For an example, he mentions to be careful of sulfuric acid contamination in the refrigeration oil under the title of "Compressor Testing". If you flip pages and see only the broad titles you'll miss the good stuff. Most HVAC guys come in on a hot day and just replace the compressor units because the store operator is frantic (after cleaning coils and charging the unit). This "oldie but goodie" book will teach you how to do a continuity test on a hermetically sealed 3 phase motor to see if it's still good. Is it a motor winding insulation leak, winding break, or locked rotor? Explains what can lock up a rotor. Perfect starter book for the maintenance guy who wants to make some side money fixing tossed equipment like Store or Hotel ice machines.

 Out of Date and Very Basic Oct 26, 2004
By Full Time Cruiser
This book is an excellent primer for someone that has no prior knowledge of A/C systems. It is very dated and lacks information on the newer systems and refrigerants.

review of AC and Refrig Repair by Fisher Sep 29, 2005
By Ronald F. Sobchik
I found the text to be very useful, although it was not the complete and through guide that I was hoping for. That would probably be in the factory shop manual for the central airconditioner that I am attempting to troubleshoot, and those are hard to come by.

Readable but not enough information Mar 06, 2012
By Joseph G Eidelberg
Some more tips and more detail would have been better. I don't think the book is complete enough. I guess it's always a compromise between an encyclopedia and outline. Some repairs just take hands on illustration. I found more information on NATE and lasvegas.ac on how to repair air conditioners. I don't think a book can replace a hands-on repair course. Some things are do it yourself and some things should be left to certified professionals. But as far as readability, its OK.
Strugle To See Dec 17, 2011
By Mike, reader from Moss Point
This is a great book to have. The format is perfect and it's written so, a chicken could understand it.However , there's one little major problem in my opinion. FOR ME, THE TEXT IS TOO SMALL. Please take into consideration, people with impaired vision. If it's possibe, have an option on your webpage for people with impaired vision to be able to select books wih larger text.I love to read and would probably purchase books more frequent if I had an option to purchase books with larger print.
