Learning about heating and cooling: where do I start?

[ahedge]

This is a great forum.

Knocking on wood I almost regret not having a problem with my electric furnace (and a question to ask).

But wait I already asked a question: how can I learn more about my electric furnace/AC system? It's a Kenmore, not sure how old but there is a serial number (and other numbers) on the plate..

Some of the answers that I read in the forum are way over my head, so I am assuming I need to understand the basics first

I am a DIYer, familiar with things like putting up drywall, setting tiles , hanging a door or rewiring electric circuits and repairing small appliances.

Do I have hope learning about my furnace or should I just call $ears when a problem will pop up?

Thank you all for your advice

Look for a technical college in your area and check for courses on heating and cooling. A 12 week course at one of those adult or tech college courses would do wonders in starting you on the right track.

If you have a problem arise on your heating equipment post the problem explaining as much detail in your problem subject. We will try to help as you try to do it yourself. If you jump in over your head we usually can pick up on that by what you are asking or how you ask then would warn you of any concern we have in what you are doing. We will try to help if you have a problem.

See you then

Good Luck
