Discussing the trade and where its right for you.

Another hvacr videos to help show hvac troubleshooting. If you are considering joining the hvac trade I highly suggest getting hvac training from a trade school. Online hvac training videos only get you so far. From experience hvac school is the way to go. No matter what you call it HVAC, HVACR, Refrigeration, Air Conditioning, Chillers, Low Temp, High Temp, Mechanical, ect, we are all blue collar in this hvac life.

I really admire your honesty... I have done 25 years in HVAC.... I really recommend that every one who enters... take pride in your work.. Take responsibility ... ask yourself each day.. What can I do better. Learn from your mistakes... You will make them daily. Don't just do but think why you are doing it. When you get to a certain level, how can the system be improved. By doing this, you are not only educating yourself but educating others.... That is the goal

I'm 54 and had to get out after 34 years, knees, back shot ect. My best advice to young guys don't be dumb like me. Take knee pads, mats, lift and climb properly, take safety, fitness seriously. Too me my career was 6 out of 10....I missed so much with all the overtime/ on call/ call outs. This man has great advice 👍

Preach brother. Im 13 years in. I got lucky and never did residential. I went straight into large equipment. Started running tubes, but I worked my ass off and asked questions. Spent a lot of my own time researching and reading. Younger guys, that is how u build a career. Work hard ask questions and spend your own time to learn.

I just left the military and went to school for this trade. I have been working for a company for about two weeks and man am I overwhelmed. I thought I was prepared after leaving school but I’m learning very quickly how unprepared I am and how much I don’t know. I’m sticking it out and I want to be good at this trade. I pray I do. I love the trade but like I said before it’s definitely a lot harder than I realized.

About to start an apprenticeship in a week. No stranger to working hard and im excited and nervous. Gonna have to hustle my ass off the next few years but this video makes me confident itll be worth it

13 years as a food service tech, 5 years of them on own, lots of work no way around it, very physical, lots of details in troubleshooting, you always have to be on your A game, never a dull day, I really enjoy it 🙏🏼💯

As an HVACR Technician, it's up to you if you want to be the best. Ive been doing this for 11 years and I love learning anything I can. I would go to work and then come home and read online about something I wanted to learn more about. Simple things too, like defrost time clocks, or solenoid valves, or superheat, subcooling, TXV's, compressors, steam boilers, pumps, couplers, I could name so much more, literally anything and everything. It was a lot of work but it's because of my desire to learn as much as possible after I get home from work that I became so successful as a technician. I always tell the young guys. You're day doesn't end when you get home. You need to read at least one thing after work. Learn one new thing everyday after work and you will accelerate your growth as a technician X2. I was told by my boss that I learned in 10 years what most guys learn in 20. Only because I worked so hard and cared so much and have the mentality of "I HAVE to know." I HAVE to otherwise I can't sleep at night. It's a blessing and a curse. Just work hard every day, pay attention to what you're doing and what you're learning, and go home and learn some more. Keep learning every single day and never ever stop.

I really appreciate the honesty in this video, it feels more real in comparison to some of the other video's I've watched in regards to getting into this trade. Thanks for your honesty!

HVAC/R has exponentially evolved over the last two decades. I came into the trade in the 90s. Back then, CFC refrigerants were still prevalent, EPA certification was a brand new requirement, and electromechanical controls were still the norm. The level of mathematics and science needed to be understood in order to be a competent service technician and contractor is right up there with college engineering. We may not get into calculus, but the understanding of electrical and electronic trroubleshooting, mechanical rigging, automation controls, as well as the ever changing refrigerants and the new protocols for them demands nonstop continuing education!

Thank you sir for the heads up, trying to mentally prepare, entering an apprenticeship in a couple of weeks so this helps! I’m beyond excited to work hard and get good at this!

I was close to being discouraged of hvac&r due to the time consuming troubleshooting and expensive parts to buy for our customers, but after watching this video, I feel a lot better and definitely will motivate myself to do better.

STILL LEARNING BRO IT`S BEEN 23 YEARS IN THIS WORK... IN THESE DAYS I DONT USE SO MANY TOOLS CAUSE OF MY EXPERIENCE I CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEMS EASILY BUT STILL WHAT I SAID I AM LEARNING.

[ASCTeck]

One thing i don’t miss about residential is summer attic jobs.

[BeardGawd]

I’ve been in this tree for five months now, I really like it. I will say the differences from when I first started to now though are definitely noticeable. When I first started to trade it really didn’t feel like a job and I loved that about it, now is really starting to feel like a job and I sometimes find myself not wanting to get up and go to work. Once I’m there though I feel good. I’m trying to figure out what I really like most about the trade and focusing on doing more of that in the future.

[hectorgarcia-zvwi]

I kno a few peps who are in tht field and yes it’s hard work but also very rewarding I’m coming from truck driver long hauls so this is all new to me ✌🏾

[toxicfg]

Thanks man I really appreciate your video
I just started my hvacR career 2 months ago as an apprentice
I feel like school was a waste of time because it really didn’t prepare me for anything at all, and I constantly feel like its overwhelming because I’m learning how to use tools, how to install refrigeration units, how to build ducts, frames, curbs, etc...
I mess up ALOT and sometimes I just feel like I can’t get stuff right and I honestly bring myself down and feel like I’m letting my team down at work.
But regardless no matter how bad it gets I’m there everyday trying to improve and I know patience and practice will only help me as time goes on.
Just wanted to know that Im not the only one in the world that has struggled to start in hvac and that I can do this shit just need to stick to it and keep trying I know that with time I’ll finally be able to call myself a tech.
Just don’t lose sight!

The hardest thing is dealing with all the text messages, emails we get and just dealing with customers that are upset there chiller is down and they don't want to pay the bill.

[jodystrickland]

It’s a very cool under appreciated and under paid job considering how much of a toll it takes on your body and health

As a HVAC technician, with roughly 6 years experience, , it can be a really good and gratifying trade to learn, but it absolutely is and always will be a really tough and at times a frustrating job. On top of trying to learn everything that you possibly can about the trade, you also have to be a little bit of a plumber at times, you have to be a little bit of an electrician at times. On top of that, there are the working conditions you have to deal with. I have always worked in residential right outside New York City in Westchester county and in the summertime you're doing a lot of air handler )condenser swap out and sometimes furnace and coil and condenser swap outs. Probably about 85% of those jobs are in the Attic on a 95° day in the New York City area the attic has to be about 120 maybe 125 and you're up there for 8, 9, 10, sometimes 12 hours. It's brutally hot up there. I could go on for hours about this but to keep it short like I said it can be a great trade I've raised my kids on it and taking care of my family on it and I try to be the best I can be every day and learn the most I can learn so I can make the most money I can possibly be paid
