5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me, February 25, 2004
By 
Robert Daniels (Fort Lewis Washington) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forced Hot Air Furnaces : Troubleshooting and Repair (Paperback)
I have read the other reviews here, and I guess it all depends on what you are looking in this book.
I own an older gas heating system with a standing pilot and I was having a problem keeping it lit. This book gave me all of the information I needed to fix the problem, and the ability to tune my heating system up so this doesn't happen again.
I read the book from cover to cover after reading what others have written, and I guess there could have been more written on some subjects, but if that were the case, the book would have had to be several hundred pages longer to cover every event that could happen.
I feel the author did an excellent job hitting the high spots on each type of heating system and I don't think the objective was to make a professional repair person out of the readers.
For my money, this is a great book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heating professionals and homeowners should have this book, October 1, 2002
By 
Bob Jones (Hollywood, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forced Hot Air Furnaces : Troubleshooting and Repair (Paperback)
I have been in the heating business for over 20 years, and this is the most complete book I have ever read on heating system maintenance and repair.
Every heating professional and homeowner should own this book. It is written so that anyone can understand how their heating system works, how to properly maintain it, and what to do when something goes wrong.
This is a "must have" book, and I have advised to store owner to order enough books so there is one in every repair truck.
This is by far the best heating book on the market today, and the author has written it so anyone can understand how their gas, oil, electric, or heat pump works.

3.0 out of 5 stars Review of Forced Hot Air Furnaces, February 24, 2004
By 
Ramesh Dave (Round Rock, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forced Hot Air Furnaces : Troubleshooting and Repair (Paperback)
The book is published in 1999. There is agood discussion on older technologies like standing pilot, intermittent pilot, HSI
etc. There is very lirrle information on "Direct Spark Ignition System" which was available in late seventies. I was disappointed in the book because it had very little discussion on DSI systems. I have a house built in 1979. I was hoping to find this type of information from a book written in 1999. It had very little information on control modules, ignitor flame sensors, ignition retries, lockout etc which is vital in trpuble shooting DSI type of hot air furnaces.

I am still looking for a good book on this subject !
