Reading list

I have had a few people recently ask me what books they should have for hydronic training and reference . Fact is, when I think of it I could use them too because every time I begin to think I'm a pretty smart guy, something, well, comes up;) . So...If you were to suggest a reading and reference library of say 5 books, what would they be?

    Click on "SHOP" on the upper left task bar, then "Hot Water Heating Books" and then choose any written by Dan Holohan.

    I'd start with

    Sigenthaler's Modern Hydronic Heating (3rd edition is current.)

    Then one or two of Dan's books - probably Classic Hydronics if the inquirer is going to be doing any service work on existing systems.

    The old B&G Handbook is a treasure trove of good basic info, and free http://www.heatinghelp.com/article-categories/123/Bell-Gossett-Handbook-Second-Edition-1949

    I've only been noodling around this site for I don't know how many years...;)
