Radiant Floor Heating:
This book is very comprehensive. The author explains just about everything you would need to know. However I would have enjoyed reading about solar applications in combination with what the author had to offer. Still, I would highly recommend this book to anyone wanting to install radiant floor heating. Book on solar heating do not provide the necessary details found here.
Good practical introduction to Hydronic Heating Systems:
The author has a wealth of practical knowledge from years of experience in the field. I picked up much useful information from reading the text, but I also found myself reading the same information over and over again in different parts of the book! What I learned out weighed the annoyance of redundancies.
where's the beef:
Really not much info in this for it's size. It's the type of book
someone would get if they wanted to get radiant heating, didn't
know anything about it, and were going to hire a contractor to
put it in. This way, they could at least use the right words
describing things. Surprisingly, it's the only book 2 local bookstores had in
stock on radiant heating. Modern Hydronic Heating by Siegenthaler had much more info, background,
designs, etc.
very usable:
most complete i have ever read on radiant heat simple enough for someone like me new to radiant floor heat.but very complete has info for figuring size of pumps needed and number of loops etc
