My partner and I are eager to deepen our knowledge of hydronics and are looking for solid resources—seminars, books, online courses, etc. If you were starting from the ground up, where would you begin?

    This website is a good start. loook ar all the videos available on YouTube by HeatingHelp.com Featuring Dan Holohan. I learned more from those seminars when I attended them than in any Trade School. It was nice of Dan to provide video of his classes. He retired and therefor no nonger teaching in person. 😕

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    This sight is hands down the best place. The books that are offered are terrific. Be sure to give them a look.

    Here is another very helpful booklet. It was written by the founder of this site and is a good read, too.

    @Tim McElwain 's training materials are really good too. They may not be the best organized but they have a lot of stuff that is hard to impossible to find elsewhere. I think you have to buy them directly from him.

    @HeatingHelp.com I have a suggestion for the bookstore part of the site, it would be nice to be able to search by author and to be able to see the author(s) in the list.
