The Complete Guide To Residential Oil Heating
The Complete Guide to Residential Oil Heating is just that; a  concise, step by step guide from individual components through advanced  troubleshooting of oil heating systems.  With the aid of an instructor,  this book will allow the student with a rudimentary mechanical ability and  little or no knowledge of an oil heat system to troubleshoot, diagnose, and  repair almost any problem that may be encountered. It will contain detailed  chapters on preventative maintenance, proper operation, and related systems  such as electrical components all in easy to use paragraphs that address  each problem in a logical flow of possible scenarios.  All chapters are  supported by extensive art work which will clearly demonstrate the  directions given in the written steps, as well illustrate unique parts,  situations, or instructions.  This book is set up to first familiarize the  reader with components that may be encountered, their function, and a brief  description (all components individually illustrated, will the  illustrations placed net to the corresponding text).  Next, the reaper is  invited to learn how to perform the requisite annual cleaning and tune-up.   The following chapters deal with troubleshooting electrical, mechanical,  and no - heat problems, as well as providing solutions and cross -  references within the book.  A helpful hints/guide is included at the end.Some of the unique and outstanding features you will find in this book  include the previously mentioned component/illustration listing;  troubleshooting flow-charts which will enable the reader to quickly narrow  down a problem thought simple yes-or-no answers and achieve a solution; and  wiring at a level that will be easy for the first time student as well as  the more advanced user to understand.  This will alleviate the possible  feelings of frustrations that may arise from an overly technical test, but  will not comprise the professional integrity that will be evident to the  more proficient user.  The illustrations, composed on the Auto- Cad system,  are clear, detailed, and easy to follow, and are textually keyed as  required to make the book "user friendly."  It has been written by a  professional oil heating repairmen and a novice oil heat owner with a B.A.  is English.  Both have been and are now involved in the field of technical  publications, all of which combined lead to a very strong background for  this manual.It is this idea:  taking the reader from the basic component  descriptions, their integrations within the system, their function,  possible problems with corresponding solutions, and finally maintenance,  repair, and replacement, that makes this book unique in its genre.  The  annual cleaning and turn-up chapter is clearly illustrated and thoroughly  yet interestingly explained - it is something all oil heat technicians  should know.  The troubleshooting flow-charts are true time savers.   Finally, we invite users to write us with questions, comments, and  suggestions to be integrated within future revisions to the book
