Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Troubleshooting Handbook

LEO RECOMMENDS

This is the most thorough book on all types of HVAC troubleshooting that I have seen. Chapter 7 consists of 47 pages of troubleshooting charts. These have the usual columns of Condition, Possible Cause, and Corrective Action. But the unique feature is the fourth column—Reference. This gives an easily found reference to a section of the book that gives clear and simple instructions about the component, how to check its operation and how to replace it.

There is a good chapter on service procedures for refrigeration units. Also included are over a hundred pages of wiring diagrams of different air conditioning units.
