The purpose of this series is to provide the layman with an introduction
to the fundamentals of installing, servicing, troubleshooting,
and repairing the various types of equipment used in residential and
light-commercial heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC)
systems. Consequently, it was written not only for the HVAC technician
and others with the required experience and skills to do this
type of work but also for the homeowner interested in maintaining
an efficient and trouble-free HVAC system. A special effort was
made to remain consistent with the terminology, definitions, and
practices of the various professional and trade associations involved
in the heating, ventilating, and air conditioning fields.
