5Well layed out and completely covers basics of HVAC.  Jan 10, 2007 By Ken Fishback "Ken Fishback"
This book is layed out well and completely covers the basics of HVAC. Any person who has used NAVEDTRA Manuals will find this to be both similar in lay-out and comprehensity of subject. It is inexpensive for the depth of knowledge contained. For the price, I don't worry that it may get wear and tear as I carry it around in my service van. You may be interested in Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Althouse, Turnquist, and Bracciano/ 18th Edition) the ultimate inclusive textbook as used in trade schools and colleges. It is relatively expensive but worth the investment for a career person. I have both.

2Basic but inexpensive book  Sep 18, 2007 By dusty
As someone above pointed out, this is a very basic book. The theory in it is ridiculously oversimplified and the description of many working and diagnostic procedures lacks detail. On the other hand, it is not very expensive compare to other books on the subject.


4Pleased South African  May 19, 2007 By Mr. Pjm Van Den Heever
The info covers both basics and detail in a easy to read and comprehend manner, I have a vending machine business and needed to know more about refrigeration.

1Hopeless  Apr 05, 2008 By Socrates "Demigrenouille"
This book is hopelessly out of date. I returned mine for that reason and was promised full return postage refund...it cost me $31.00 Australian to return this book and Amazon closed off without refunding it. So much for trust..better I just threw it in the bin!.. Ever tried to email them by the way? My suggestion from a bloke who paid $31 for the experience...don't buy it...get something modern and remember, in 2010 the present R134A will be extinct!!....it's a hopeless gas in terms of efficiency any way, however I'd hold off or get a book based solely on the simple events of air conditioning, how it works, unless you desperately need modern information...in which case forget this book...go to the library and then wait(not in the library of course!) and see what happens post 2010.
