No Ducks in the Attic: & Other Basics of HVAC Installation

No Ducks in the Attic is a fun and easy look at residential HVAC installations. Professionals in the industry are often taught theory in the classroom, and the "just do it this way" method in the field without knowing how or why. From the owner of the company, right down to the newest apprentice, all can learn how to properly install a system, create a happy customer, and be profitable without the pitfalls of trial and error mechanics. No Ducks in the Attic discusses the dos and don?ts of load calculations, duct design, equipment specs, condensate problems, electrical basics, and other subjects to fill in the gaps that others assume you know. Especially good for those who aren't "big readers".

5I learned!!! I like it!  Nov 12, 2010
By Sandra J. Hovey "I love my life!"
I work in an office for a sheet metal company (HVAC also). This is so well written that even I understand what the guys are talking about most of the time now! The ideas are centered more on the AC end of things as opposed to the heating but I love anything that helps me learn something new!!

3Not what I expected  Jan 28, 2011
By Jim Bashford
As a DIY homeowner, I was looking for more specific information pertaining to heat loss calculations, duct design and sizing, as well as system design and layout. This book only touches on those items and is geared more toward helping a contractor interact with the customer and perform more efficiently and more profitable. This would be a good book for someone starting out in the trade that already has the classroom knowledge but could use some advice from someone who has quite a bit of experience.

4good covers some basics  Jun 27, 2011
By givinmyopinion
This book covers some good basics and some good buisness practices. Alittle on duct selection and hardware. It does not cover any duct/room load data or how to calculate cfms per room a must for any new or update install. It does have many good points and facts and would make a great addition to a collection on this topic.

4Great book for the money  Apr 27, 2011
By Peter
This residential AC book is probably the only straight forward "here's how you do it" HVAC book around. There are a lot of text books out there, but this book covers the need-to-know basics and touches on some business aspects (for those who own their own HVAC companies). It is a great book if you're unfamiliar with the principles and basic techniques involved with residential AC installation. It goes into everything deep enough that you can probably install your own central AC better than some contractors out there -- except it doesn't really cover charging and evacuating systems.
