Each can be easily and completely read within 2 hours. I...

Probably the only book I have ever read that I wished was actually longer!! Thanks Ms. Fey; PLEASE WRITE MORE TEXTS!!!!!!!

This review is from: Quick & Basic Electricity : A Contractor's Easy Guide to HVAC Circuits, Controls, and Wiring Diagrams (Practical Is Good (P.I.G.) Technical Training Series) (Paperback)
This is THE book to own if you really know very little about electricity. You will be surprised at how much you learn after reading this easy-to-read and quick book. This book will not put you to sleep. I admired Carol Fey for making this excellent and very approachable book to electricity. Beginners will have a fun time with this book

This review is from: Quick & Basic Electricity : A Contractor's Easy Guide to HVAC Circuits, Controls, and Wiring Diagrams (Practical Is Good (P.I.G.) Technical Training Series) (Paperback)
wonderfully written, a real asset to the person that less than knowledgeable in the field. Is able to read this book and have a better grasp of the subject. The content is intriguing as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy this book!, November 18, 2011
This review is from: Quick & Basic Electricity : A Contractor's Easy Guide to HVAC Circuits, Controls, and Wiring Diagrams (Practical Is Good (P.I.G.) Technical Training Series) (Paperback)
This book is for elementary electrical understanding. If you don't understand basic electricity this book will help you understand the theory of electrons. Other than that it is really basic and for the more advanced technican don't buy this book!

This review is from: Quick & Basic Electricity : A Contractor's Easy Guide to HVAC Circuits, Controls, and Wiring Diagrams (Practical Is Good (P.I.G.) Technical Training Series) (Paperback)
Every book I've found so far skirts the real issues in Heating & air conditioning. They discuss very little about problems actually encountered in the field, systematic troubleshooting, or forget electrical furnace systems. Electric systems must be a real taboo.
