 Worth every penny!Jun 01, 2010
At first glance, many will pass this book by as too expensive. Don't make that mistake! Mr. Wirz gives thorough coverage to the subject in 380 pages. The book is packed with solid troubleshooting information. Especially valuable are pages 179 to 195 which discuss "diagnosing nine system problems". There is a drawing for each system showing pressures and temperatures for a cap tube system and a TXV system. Very helpful.
I have worked in industry on large refrigeration units (50-200 tons) for 25 years. If only I had this book years ago. I purchased Doolins Doolin's Trouble Shooters Bible: Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, Heat Pumps, Heating, 5th Edition, which turned out to be refrigeration troubleshooting history. Sent it back for this instead.
It seems clear to me that Mr. Wirz is more interested in educating people than writing to sell a book. Thanks for the effort!

I bought this book for my husband who works in HVAC-R. He absolutly loves it! He has many books,but this one is the most helpful and even comes with a diagnostic disc for diagrams and troubleshooting. A real helpful and affordable deal. It has a lot of refrigeration tips that he was looking for.

well doneMay 31, 2007
the book is well put together and provides well thought out information, as well as being in depth enough to help anyone serious about the HVAC/R trade. I hate spending money for bad books and am happy to recommend this book for purchase. Buy it.
