Customer Reviews: Read 8 more reviews... Radiant Floor Heating May 9, 2008 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 February 28, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful 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 November 28, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful 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 July 27, 2007 0 out of 2 found this review helpful 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 This book is a waste of your time and money January 13, 2007 McGraw-Hill should be ashamed of themselves for allowing this book to be published! It meets none of the advertized criteria, and you couldn't begin to attempt a design or purchase after having read this thinly disguised manufacturer's sales pitch. There's better information available on the web for free. What's more the writing style is extremely superficial and repetitive, with identical illustrations used in numerous places simply as fillers. The author (if really an actual person) should go into hiding immediately. The publisher's "text book" reputation really deserves to be tarnished if this is the best they can come up with. Do not buy this book!
