I wrote a book for homeowners in 2003 and called it, “We Got Steam Heat” (with apologies to The Pajama Game). I wrote that book because I had written another book 11 years earlier that I called “The Lost Art of Steam Heating.” A lot of homeowners bought “Lost Art" because they were having difficulty finding a contractor who knew anything about steam heat, so they decided to get their learn on.
Many of those homeowners let me know that “Lost Art” had much more information than they needed, and they really just wanted to understand the basics so they could talk to contractors and not sound like they didn’t know anything at all.
