Invaluable reference tool and study guide, Jan 29 2010
By MH - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Audel HVAC Fundamentals: Volume 1: Heating Systems, Furnaces and Boilers (Paperback)
As a first year HVAC student, I found this book to be an excellent "go-to" source for much of the information being presented to me on a daily basis. The charts, diagrams, and pictures are an excellent source of information. This book not only covers older units, it covers newer technologies also. All three books in this series will find a home in my office.

This review is from: Audel HVAC Fundamentals: Volume 1: Heating Systems, Furnaces and Boilers (Paperback)
I work as a Plumbing Pro at a home center, and purchased this book to help me field HVAC questions from customers. For anyone attempting to do their own work on heating applications, I'd highly recommend it. Because I live in Alaska, I can't comment on the Air Conditioning element, but would assume that information is just as useful.

Really good text books (Volume One of Three), Aug 19 2011
By R. Zauner - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Audel HVAC Fundamentals: Volume 1: Heating Systems, Furnaces and Boilers (Paperback)
This is book one, of a three book series (or volumes).Although at first, I didn't know which book to get, so just get all three. There's plenty of good info in all three making it worth while and they're not overly priced. (Material is pretty much spread across all three volumes.)
One reviewer stated it's "Old Info", but has the HVAC manufacturers done anything newer these days not requiring you to know anything within these books? And, if a HVAC manufacturer does have some newer product with bells & whistles (ie. power venter), they usually package an instruction manual including codes and advisories.
The books go into a little more detail then I really need for installing a boiler in my house. So they're pretty good. The only thing the books omit, construction of a utilidor or similar access way (ie. 4 inch ABS with PEX pipes).
Your other option, buying some $100-500 textbook(s).
Remember, safety first. These books adequately detail draft & safety. When in doubt, call a licensed trusted contractor.
