Expensive, but worth it.

The author has a knack for explaining this relatively complicated subject. I feel like I finally understand superheat and subcool and why they are important to the refrigerant charge. The book is expensive but it's cheaper than taking a course at the local college to learn the right way to service refrigeration equipment.

Well written and good training book👍

This is a great place to start with hvac. I’m almost finished with the book and can’t wait for a refresher when it’s time for the workbook. You learn all the basics of hvac and he even has videos that go along with each chapter on his website. All in all, worth the price!

Great book

The best explanation book I have ever seen. It's thorough, but clearly written with accompanying pictures. It has greatly improved my understanding of the principles of Refrigeration and Air Conditioning. It also greatly improved my understanding of the "how tos"! - If you were to go through this book first, you would be a giant step ahead of others in HVAC classes/training. I highly recommend!! Joe
