Book Reviews of Modern Hydronic Heating for Residential and Light Commercial Buildings, 2E

Book Review: Great book for the technical-minded DIY'er
Summary: 5 Stars

I am a DIY'er with an engineering background and this book is great! It walks you through various systems and associated calculations.

This book is assembled like a text book and comprehensive. It is not like a DIY brochure you'll find in your hardware store. This book covers everything you need to know to design and build a hydronic heating system and why you do what you do. As an engineer, I needed that level of explanation, however, some folks might not.

In summary, I found the book to be absolutely invaluable in designing and building my hydronic baseboard/boiler system and I highly recommend it.
