Contributions to this book were written by dedicated men who worked most of their lives in the refrigeration and air conditioning fields. This edition of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Repair is targeted to the frustrated service technicians and homeowners who deal with malfunctioning equipment. We have seen people, during the heat of summer, enduring torturous conditions waiting for a service technician to arrive. In many cases, a better understanding of this equipment could allow its repair to be made by the homeowner.
The text covers residential equipment only, including window units, automobile units, and refrigerators. Some light commercial equipment is discussed. For the first time, text has been prepared with both the homeowner and professional in mind. Its method of presentation does not demean the intellect of either; yet both will understand thoroughly how the system works.
This book explains in detail all the preventive maintenance that can be performed by homeowners to add years to the lives of their systems. Service technicians can use this guide to establish preventive maintenance programs for their customers.
This book can be carried in the technician’s tool box or placed in the home library by the homeowner. Should the homeowner save the cost of one service call and all the discomfort connected with the malfunction, this book has served its purpose.
