Customer Reviews

great book for learning refrigeration

as a homeowner considering central air and seeing how idiot contractors screw people firsthand, I wanted to learn as much as I could about refrigeration and HVAC before hiring anybody. This book is great, from a design and selection standpoint on refrigeration all the way to installation and maintenance practices. I can easily see why it's a college textbook, too bad my college texts back in the day didn't explain the subject as well. You can basically read this book and understand refrigeration without taking a class.

awesome

The book is really concise and packed with very useful illustrations. I would recommend this book to anyone- beginner or advanced.

Very Informative

I am going for my certification and this book is the one you need to be fully prepared. An excellent guide in all the aspects of A/C.
