1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible, January 6, 2006
This review is from: Heating Handbook (Paperback)
The text seems like it was dictated into a word-processor, shuffled a little and printed with no editing and no research.
Portions of text are repeated exactly in different sections of the book. The tables and diagrams are reprinted from random product literature and have no relation to the text. The entire content relevant to home heating installation and maintenance could be compressed into a pamphlet.

Perhaps the team responsible for this book learned from the same school as those who prepared Saddam's perplexing weapons reports.

This is the worst textbook I have ever seen, and a waste of time.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not enough information, December 28, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Heating Handbook (Paperback)
I too wanted information on tuning up my oil heater, and this book is worthless.
I did, however, pick up a copy of Forced Hot Air Furnace - Troubleshooting and Repair and was very impressed with the book. It told me everything I needed to know and them some about my oil heating system.
Bravo to Roger Vizi for an outstanding book on heating repair!!

3.0 out of 5 stars A Pratical handbook, August 15, 2005
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Heating Handbook (Paperback)
This is a easy reading book good for someone who need a brief introduction to heating system. The book includes some installaion details which is useful but there are many tables and and product information which I find is not necessary. It is not expensive book to own if you want to have some idea about heating system.
