HVAC for Homeowners
How Your Furnace and AC Work, What to Do Each Season, Why They Stop Working, and How to Tell Whether an HVAC Repair Quote Is FairBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 52m
About this audiobook
The furnace quits on the coldest night of the year. The AC runs all afternoon and the house still feels warm. A technician holds up a clipboard with a number on it and a deadline attached. Most homeowners have never been taught how this equipment works, so every one of those moments feels like a gamble. HVAC for Homeowners is the owner-side guide to your whole heating and cooling system: how it works in plain words, what to do each season, what common faults usually mean, and what a fair repair quote looks like. It is text only, with parts described in words and simple tables. It is not a cooling-only troubleshooting guide, a general home-maintenance checklist, a quote guide for every trade, or a technician's manual: it stays with the furnace, the air conditioner, the heat pump and the mini-split, and it keeps DIY to the low-risk jobs a homeowner can safely do. Inside, you'll learn: You will not become a technician, and the book makes no promise about what any quote or repair will cost where you live. What you will have is the vocabulary, the checks and the questions to deal with your heating and cooling calmly and as an informed customer.
