Worth every penny. Do not be fooled by contractors that say they can install hydronic heating without reading this first.

April 2, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I am a contractor that has been looking for a greener approach of building. I had a friend that was interested in putting Hydronic floor heat in his shop floor, and I decided to invest the money and learn the ins and outs of the systems besides the basics you can find for free online.

If you hire contractors, plumbers, or HVAC professionals to install hydronic heat be sure you ask to see previous work, or at least follow up with references. ALWAYS get a signed contract. This subject is very much an exact science to get the efficiency, and longevity you desire your system to have to begin with. I have seen several poorly designed systems that cost more money to operate, didn't work well enough, or even worse, didn't work at all. People think it is only a matter of running pex piping under concrete and plumbing it into a boiler - they could not be more incorrect.

Personally I have several contacts of mine that have hired professionals to install under floor heating systems - and failed to do it correctly. The home owner is left with a negative opinion of hydro heating because they trust that the installer did the job correctly, but the heating system is just not what they expected it to be. Truth be told if the contractor had read this book it would work correctly.

This book is a text book - full of information and proof of engineering. It is well worth the $170 paid for it. It is chocked with 700+ pages of information that even the season veteran plumbers will look to draw information on for the rest of their careers. If you are thinking about building and installing a Hydronic heating system , I highly encourage you to purchasing the first (nd most important) tool of that installation right here.

A learning experience, even for pros

I had wanted to purchase this book for quite a while, but the price kept me from buying it at first.
Well, several new projects came across my desk, and I purchased it to design and bid the work.
This book is well written and illustrated. I was not only impressed with the author's knowledge of the
topic, but how the information was presented and explained. You could save a small fortune by reading
this book before you design or install a hydronic heating system. I have used other resources for reference,
but I have never seen all the information you would ever need, in one resource. This author put a lot of time
into this book.

Hydronic heating bible

November 14, 2013

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This is a technical text book for folks who design and install Hydronic heating systems, I am not a heating contractor or specialist - I am a home owner that designed and installed my own unique system and used this book as my bible. Most of the info that I needed was included in this book. However since I had some unique situations, I did not find everything I needed in this book, but make all safety decisions and my assumptions based on the theory that was outlined. Most of the other publications written by non-professionals did not have the theory behind hydronic systems, but this book did. I did find some other practical sources of information that also helped. I highly recommend this book for hydronic heating professionals (5 stars)

Took a boiler maintenance class, again... and instructor mentioned this book , it's loaded with information on boilers and hydronics.
I would definitely recommend this book for students as well as homeowners.

Excellent resource

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

After natural gas became available in our neighborhood I used this book to design a replacement for the 40 year oil oil-fired system we had. I found the book invaluable for this purpose and it didn't matter that it isn't the latest edition. The new edition covers topics that weren't relevant to my project anyway.

Fabulous

June 24, 2014

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

Siegenthaler is the guru of modern hydronic heating and this is the Bible. It's not for the faint of heart if you don't have a head for math and science, but if you can wade through it, the potential system performance is quite impressive. This was a crucial foundation that allowed me to design and install a hydronic heating system for my home.

Thorough , concise and current

August 16, 2012

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

I used this book to install my radiant heat system. I have a working knowledge of heating systems and their application and was hoping this book would help me avoid some of the problems which can bite you in a radiant floor heating system. I found the book well organized, up to date and concise. I am a licensed engineer and licensed mechanical contractor but needed this book to make me feel comfortable with my plans. If you want to learn about all types of hydronic heating systems or , as I did, need to learn about one ,this is a great source of information.

Please don't trust a contractor to size your hydronic hot water system until you do it yourself.
