can anybody recommend a good book(s) on hvac, specifically the H and V part? I have amazon coupons from my credit card, and have $75 to spend. The last book I bought, to give you an idea what I'm looking for now, was "Refrigeration & Air Cond. Technology, 5th Ed." Whitman, Johnson, Tomczyk. So I'm set good on AC and refrigeration, need something to understand all the home heating methods available.
thanks.

The book you have has pretty good chapter on gas heat its chapter 31, I believe the next chapter is on oil heat. This is the book we use in the HVAC program I am enrolled in.
