The Homemade Heat Pump Manifesto

Except for the "HVAC girl" I talked about previously, HVAC engineers tend to be hostile to amateurs. They often claim stuff about safety, but that is a very weak argument since automotive repair is even more dangerous (plus a mistake in automotive repair is more likely to hurt innocent others) and every automotive parts store I've been to has been very willing to help with how to troubleshoot and repair just about anything on a car, even those that are safety-related.
