Hi to all,
For those inspectors who give out homeowner reference materials to clients, Keiths book is the best of its kind, bar none. It is very well written and laid out and has some great clear pictures in it.

I've had the personal pleasure of reviewing Dr. Keith Swift's, "Manual For A Happy Home", and strongly endorse it for Home Inspectors to use in their marketing arsenal.
Dr. Swift's writing skills has transformed the mundane and boring subject of home maintenance and care into a well thought out indexed and informative book that any homeowner will treasure for years. In addition, when reviewing the manual, the reader feels involved and comes out with a sense of understanding, knowledge and recognition of systems and components of their house. All basics needed to make an informed decision on the maintenance and care of their castle. Possibly saving them thousands of dollars. This is a must have for anyone who desires to educate the public. See for yourself, order a copy. I have little doubt that you will be ordering more for your clients. You'll be the envy of your competition. www.buildingcenter.org Quickly determine the date of manufacture, age or production of most HVAC and Water Heating equipment |

This manual looks nice, but can anyone tell me if there is a section on boilers and or furnace... most homes in Maine are heated with oil fired hot water baseboard or hot air heat... I do not want to supply them with info that only includes gas heat which apppears in many books.
thanks... Jeff |

OK....how does this compare or is it a completely different type of book..than the handbook Jay and Nick are pushing in the various threads?
Thanks |

Tony, I haven't looked at Jay's book, but he says that it's a condensed version of a book that has been available for years. I guess what we're seeing is marketing and the free enterprise system at work, but this manual was commissioned by Nick and is NACHI's "official" manual. It reflects the experience of twenty-five years in construction, and in excess of ten-thousand inspections, and I hope I know what inspectors need and the consummer deserves.

Tony, it is very different. Keith's Manual for a Happy Home was created especially for NACHI members, and designed to generate you word-of-mouth referrals when you include it with your inspection report.
