Books on air conditioning and heat pumps

I am interested in increasing the efficiency of a central air conditioner system. Does anyone have any recommendations on books that have information on geothermal system design.

I feel I am fully qualified to do any work that is required as I once built a fence and have installed water faucets.

Have you worked on HVAC equipment, already?

The nice thing about geothermal, the condensor temps can be a lot lower than the temp of the outdoor air. Water cooled centrifugal condensor is a good thing. You also need less alki foam to keep it clean.

Do I really need an EPA license to buy a book?

Hey Dumbass, re-read your post... specifically this quote:

"I feel I am fully qualified to do any work that is required as I once built a fence and have installed water faucets."

So as I see it... you want to do the work. Otherwise, *why* would you have included this comment?

Sorry it is an inside joke. Some of the people here will get it. It isn't as if building a fence and installing a water faucet have much to do with HVAC.

I really do not get it. I ask for recommendations on books and absolutely no one has any recommendations. No positive recommendations, no negative recommendations.

It is not as if I am asking how to do something. And it isn''t as if I am going to go into business and compete with any of you. I am retired and find I don't want to work hard. I have too much fun doing things in my shop. Doesn't anyone here have any good or bad books.

I rummaged around on the internet and found a site that has pretty good information an ground source heat pumps. It is

And I can take courses at the local community/ tech college at pretty much no cost since I am over sixty. But I would still like to have a good book or two that people in the trade think are worth having.

Maybe if I recommend a book someone will respond.

If you want to know more about nothing, then I recommend
