Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Technology: 25th Anniversary 7th Edition

This will take me through all three classes I need, and it has helped me on the job already. I am an equipment maintenance person at a medical facility, and was recently informed that our department would be handling refrigerator maintenance whether through a vendor or not. I decided to take on the challenge to not only save the company some money (we are non profit), but to also add to my skill set. This book is thorough, easy to understand, and is so heavy, it will even give you a workout for hefting cannisters of refrigerant around once you start your career! That said, I wish it came in electronic form as well.

I am an HVAC contractor in San Diego, CA and in my continual pursuit to get better at my job I bought this book in hopes it would give me insight on what's REALLY happening in the refrigeration cycle and it was exactly what I was looking for! I'm also studying for the NATE exam and a class I'm taking suggested I get this book and I wished I bought it years ago!!I sometimes go bid jobs that have equipment that I'm am unfamiliar with and I quickly look it up in this book to figure out what to do. Haha!!

Book is comprehensive and then some. Book is a little heavy too carry around though. I would definitely recommend this to someone. I would highly recommend a young man to learn heating and air conditioning and get into this field. The reason is because you will make lots of money, you will become a rich man, and last but not least you will have all kinds of money and all kinds of women besides. Thank You, Carter 4/3/2014

I have done refrigeration for over 30 years and some HVAC in the 80's. I needed some information on current systems and this book did it. Textbooks are for theory, and if you understand how something works it is easier to repair. Another reviewer claimed it didn't tell you how to repair something like change a motor etc. Those kind of things are in equipment manuals. By the way this book actually had the wiring diagram for a smart valve, not something you would usually find in a textbook. No textbook can replace hands on learning but you have to have a good foundation which this book provides. If you think you can read a book and become a master service technician, I would like to see how big that book would be (This book is 1650 pages). As for Nate certification you should get a dedicated Nate Study guide in what you are interested in such as Dewalt HVAC technician certification exam guide.

Carrying a 1600 page hardcover book around everywhere I go just doesn't work for me. This book is so convenient to have I also bought the digital version from Amazon and was amazed with how useful it is. I love the fact that I can use it on one device and pick up on another so seamlessly. I choose 4 stars for now but as I become more familiar with it I'll likely give it 5 stars. I'd recommend this book to anyone in the trade.

This book touches on all aspects of the HVACR (Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) profession. The material can be on the dry side and some sections are more informative than others, but overall its a comprehensive book for anybody interested in learning about how to do this.

Great product but my area flooded back in 2016 and I lost It

This book was for my husband's HVAC college course he is currently taking. He is very happy with the book. Also we live a hour from the college, so it was very convenient to have it delivered at our home. It cost less than the school charged and it arrived in a couple days.
