Product Description

This short book explains hot water heating (hydronic) controls and circuits from the perspective of power suppy, switch, and load. The book starts with a simple control circuit and builds to multiple zone circuits. It explains that adding a control panel simplifies a job rather than making it more complex. The book then looks at various panels, building from an aquastat relay to multiple-zone and multiple-purpose panels.

Review
"Quick & Basic Hydronic Controls" takes the confusion out of electrical control wiring. -- Larry Drake, Executive Director, RPA

I loved Carol Fey's first Book "Quick & Basic Electricity," but she really knocked me out with this one. -- Dan Holohan, author

This is a book for technicians who don't like to admit that they don't know hydronic controls... -- Bob Boltz, Past President, National Association of Oil Heating Service Managers (NAOHSM)

Customer Reviews

This is a worthless book on Radiant Floor Heating
This book is totally worthless if you are hoping to understand and design the control systems for radiant floor heating. I wish I could get my money back. The book description by the publisher and the Editorial Reviews are misleading at best. I wish there had been a buyer review at the time I placed my order with Amazon--I would have passed on this book. Avoid.

Too basic to be of use
I was very disappointed in this book. It says right on the front cover that it's "A Contractor's easy guide to hydronic Controls, Wiring, and Wiring Diagrams". If a contractor needs to refer to this basic of information, I don't think I want them working in my house. I learned everthing in this book in High School. Don't waste your time unless you have no idea about how electricity works

way too simple
This book is far too basic. Almost all of the book is
about very simple electrical concepts; the "hydronic
controls" portions are only examples of these general
concepts. I was greatly disappointed with the book --
most manufacturer's web sites have much better and
more understandable descriptions.
