Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

Temporary access may be available for some Cengage courses. If offered, you can use your course during the grace period and purchase or register your access code before it ends. Options for expired access vary by product.

About this product

Featuring a great deal of new content and a new full-color, reader-friendly design, HEAT PUMPS, 2e, helps readers learn to install, service, and maintain air source, water source, and geothermal heat pumps. Dedicated troubleshooting chapters provide ample opportunities to apply the steps required for successful completion of every service call. The Second Edition addresses the latest green building codes and includes a wide range of built-in learning aids and real-life examples to help readers develop the knowledge and skills they will need on the job.

Now available with this text is The Complete HVAC Lab Manual, which features over 250 lab exercises, covering 15 topic areas. See the supplements section for more details.

Each system component is treated separately, allowing readers to concentrate fully on a single component before attempting to assemble all of the pieces of the heat pump puzzle.

More than 50 "For Discussion" topics excite and challenge readers while providing instructors with opportunities to encourage thought-provoking in-class debate.

Cutaway views of devices allow readers to see inside the system as they explore the operation and function of each of its components in detail.

Three chapters aid readers in developing the ability to read and interpret electrical schematic and ladder diagrams for air source, water source, and geothermal heat pump systems, a skill required of all successful technicians.
