This review is from: Electricity for HVAC & R: A Guide to Troubleshooting (Answer Man Pocket Reference: HVAC&R Reference Guide, Vol. 3) (Paperback)

Not a troubleshooting guide at all. It explains basic electrical systems, something you would get in 6th grade science class! Absolutely junk for troubleshooting....oh wait it would have to have some troubleshooting in it to be junk. Give it too your children to understand elementary electricity.

Not quite what I was expecting, the book is extremely basic. It is really a book of descriptions for everyday items in the HVAC field. Would be an ideal book for students or maintenance techs.
