Sorry about that.... I am just saying...things are different now adays.... you can read it in a book but there is a big difference between that and having a mentor....... As per books you would be better off taking coarses. .....

This just my opinion

George Lanthier has a website and has a ton of oil burner, control and heating books. I have about 12 books from George and he's great at explaining the fundamentals as well as the advanced theory behind combustion and hydronics. I own about 6 books by Dan Holohan as well as some of Siggy's material.

All of the books mentioned in this thread are great and have taught me a lot.

Also, try to get into either Emerson Swan's (if they represent your area), or any of Taco's seminars. Some of the best when it comes to training.

I was thinking of taking the two day Taco "complete boiler room" course this spring when they come to town. It is a shame that more people don't have small courses or seminars here in Toronto.

Anyone know of any information session happening in the Toronto area? I'm going to the CMX-CIPHEX and taking a few small seminars there, but nothing too interesting. The Ontario sales reps need to get more organized. We need some tankless training, boiler troubleshooting, and heating design courses.

If you can get your hyndronics rep from your wholsaler to set it up, lots of times manufactures will come right to your location. It probably varies from rep to rep. Some will go the extra mile.

I know you asked about books, but there are a lot of online resources as well.

Thanks for the links. Bel and Gosset one was informative.

Flow-Pro site was a good one too.

Just signed up for the Armstrong training. Thanks!

Glad it helped. B&G has a lot of literature out there to go through and Armstrong has a bunch of different modules that should keep you busy for awhile.

What I like about them is it isn't brand specific, they are talking about systems and how they work, not just a brand plug.

Anyway I'm glad you like them.

FYI,

Taco's "university" video on the anatomy of a circulator is a helpful one
