Mat-Su College: Refrigeration and Heating

The library has books on refrigeration and heating subjects. Here are just a few from the last couple of years that our library owns:

• HVAC Licensing Study Guide (2018)
• Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (2017)
• HVAC and Refrigeration Preventive Maintenance (2016)
• Cold-climate Buildings Design Guide (2015)

These are just some of our newer print books. Many new books are available through the library as eBooks.

The library has two places for refrigeration and heating books.

Most are in the general collection on the second floor. These books can mostly be found in the TH, TK, and TP sections.

Some refrigeration and heating books, such on building codes or the ASHRAE Handbook, are in the reference room. The reference room is the small room next to the checkout desk on the first floor. You can't check out these reference books.

Some books are only available as ebooks. You can access tens of thousands of ebooks through the University.

Ebook Central is a good, easy to use ebook collection. We recommend starting here.
