Recommended Reading

Norm Christopherson

    Only the very best books make it to my “Recommended Reading” list.  I have a vast collection of air conditioning, heating, refrigeration and electrical books but, there are only a few that I consider worthy of recommending.  These books are selected because of their content, clarity or high quality.  Additional books will be added to this list as I see fit, so check back often.

  

“TECH Method Troubleshooting” by Gary Lloyd
An excellent troubleshooting series written by a veteran service technician. Very well written, clear and concise. Gary has the ability to state the otherwise complex in an understandable way in few words.
Visit his website to order his books. www.techmethod.com

 

Indoor Environment Technicians Library
Fans & V-belt Drives
Math For The Technician
Airflow In Ducts
Variable Air Volume Systems
Indoor Air Quality
Layout for Duct Fittings
And More.  Well written books available individually or purchase the entire set. My favorite is Math For The Technician.
Available from LAMA Books. Visit their website; http://www.lamabooks.com/

 

“Modern Hydronic Heating” by John Siegenthaler.
A modern classic on heating with water. Very well written, understandable and excellent content. A new and updated edition is about to be released. I am looking forward to it.
