5.0 out of 5 stars I owe my rebuilt steam heating system to this book, January 24, 1998

carr@netusa.net (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Lost Art of Steam Heating (Paperback)

The book is easy to understand and allows a novice to troubleshoot and fix their own residential steam heating problems without calling-in a plumber, serviceman, or other so called expert to "crank up the pressuretrol" (worst thing you can do). This book comes highly recommended. --Ed Carr Eaton's Neck, NY
