5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent central heating sections for novice DIYers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: "Which?" Book of Plumbing and Central Heating ("Which?" Consumer Guides) (Paperback)
When looking to upgrade my heating to a Combi-boiler system with instant hot water. I was looking for a book like this for weeks, I have read other titles, not mentioning any names. I have now completed my goal, not bad for a novice DIYer. Excellent book for plumbing, invaluable for central heating. Jas, Birmingham, England.

This review is from: "Which?" Book of Plumbing and Central Heating ("Which?" Consumer Guides) (Paperback)
I'm going to send this book back. Its very dated and makes virtually no reference to combi boilers or and instant hot water systems. Most annoyingly, it has no section discussing how to change from an older style hotwater and heating system to a combi boiler.

OK, but dated.,
By A Customer
This review is from: "Which?" Book of Plumbing and Central Heating ("Which?" Consumer Guides) (Paperback)
I had to send this back, because it's essentially identical to the 1990 edition which I had already. So, for example, no mention of replacement ceramic mechanisms for conventional taps. With increased emphasis on energy saving in the last 10 years, I was also looking for objective assessment of the merits of CH features like optimum start and boiler compensation - but the CH control system section had actually got less thorough. One of the bugbears of this industry is the very slow dissemination of technical innovation; often the excuse is "there's no call for it". Through books like this, Which? should be countering this attitude by helping create more demanding and knowledgable consumers. This may still be one of the better DIY books on this subject, but Which? should give it much more thorough and frequent overhaul.
