DIY Heating guides/books

[smeunier]

I'm looking at replacing my current Oil Hot Air furnance with a Natural Gas Ho water boiler. I would like to do as much of the work as possible and am looking for a book or similar instructions with basic layout, preparations, installation, etc. I would hire someone to do the final inspection when complete or to do the final hookup, but like I said I 'd like to do most my self. any tips on good books for DYI heating installations?

From the problems I've seen with warm air installations and wet installations, I would keep the warm air unit.. The money you will save can pay for an awful lot of fuel.

Where abouts are you?

He's in the US. You can tell from terminology - furnace, hookup, DYI (?? - Do Yourself In?).

Um, yes.......... but the US is a hell of a big place, one part gets very cold in winter, while another part is incredibly windy a little while ago, some parts are up mountains, some parts are below sea level, some parts are three hours behind other parts. I would like to know a little more precisely than + or - 1500 miles
