5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent reference, 13 Jan 2005
By Tontoe (Reading UK) - See all my reviews
This taught me loads of things I had expected to learn on my NVQ course but didn't - and some of it was new to the tutors as well!! (Backfilling a sluggish system saved me hours of frustration with radiators that wouldn't fill).
This book pulls together a lot of very useful information from various sources, combines it with a practical approach to diagnosis gained from years of experience, and puts it all together in one place in a logical, structured way.
It really "does what it says on the tin", basically covering in some detail:
1) What Central Heating is
2) What can go wrong with it
3) How to diagnose the fault
4) How to repair it
Fault finding diagrams are v. useful.
This book will be invaluable for DIYer and professional. Okay, if you've been in the business for 40 years you probably know all that's in here (and more), but then you wouldn't be looking for a book like this, would you?
To the rest of us, buy it now and keep it in the van!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Central Heating - Fault Finding & Repair, 7 Oct 2003
By A Customer
What an excellent book! The author describes the book as having easy to follow text written in an authorative and concise manner... I agree.

This book is well laid out in a logical sequence with many illustrations helping to clarify what is being described in the text. Each chapter deals with one aspect of central heating and hot water systems and gives the reader the opportunity to read about the subject in depth or just skim the surface.

Perhaps, the most useful part of this book is the fault finding tables. Chapter 4 contains all of the tables and each chapter opens with the relevant fault finding tables. These tables make it easy to find symptons, faults and remedies and takes you to the part of the book that deals with the procedures to correct the identified problem.

The spiral binding allows for the book to be folded back on itself which is great when following the step-by-step procedures to correct the fault.

Anyone who has or works on domestic central heating and hot water systems needs one of these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Central Heating by J Reginald - A superb reference book., 8 Oct 2003
By Richard Jenkins (Tunbridge Wells, UK) - See all my reviews
I have found Central Heating:Fault Finding and Repair to be an extremely valuable reference book to own. I am a keen DIY enthusiast, and consequently like to be aware of how my central heating system within my home works. Following on from this I like to be in a position to remedy faults within my limitations linked to my central heating system. This book has provided me with an in depth insight into the subject and offered me sound practical advice. I would very much recommend this book if you are a like minded individual.
