3.0 out of 5 stars
Brief comments in the book!,
By Dimitris Orfanidis (Athens, Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HVAC Maintenance and Operations Handbook (Hardcover)
Quickly what is to be said about that book is that it is mainly addressed to people with some experience in the field and not to newcomers. well structured deals in good detail with all aspects of organizing your HVAC systems operation and maintenace. Gives good guidelines for people that are not sure if they want to run the equipment themselfs or outsource the operation. It helped me a lot deciding to outsource the operation of our steam plant. I would generally recommend it as a good reference for the evereday problems that HVAC equipment runs into and for the organization of your maintenace of your equipment. It could though deal in greater depth with the aspects of HVAC equipment design and installation.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Not hands-on oriented, better suited for classroom.,
By Mark Spark "markspark" (Kansas City, MO United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: HVAC Maintenance and Operations Handbook (Hardcover)
I am a maintenance mechanic. This book reads like a dry classroom textbook. I specifically was looking for practical solutions for motor lubrication insight, such as how many pumps of grease per inch of motor shaft diameter, etc. Instead I only found the boring lubrication schedules and warnings about over lubricating. Also, we have dirty HVAC Heat Wheels and I wanted to know how to clean them. They are not even mentioned in the book! This book is of little use to me as a hands-on handbook. At a much lower price I would have given it 3 stars, but at this price it deserves only 2 stars.
