I’m 22 now, been a service tech for a little over 2 years and getting into this field has been the best decision I have ever made. I bought a house at 21 and I’m now making a little over 100k a year. If you’re questioning whether or not to get into it, do it. Be willing and able to work and learn and you can do this. It’s not the easiest career, but it’s so worth it. It’s very rewarding.

I just retired from 25 years of being a hvac technician. I'm 56 and can now take it easy. Just want to add that the HVAC industry more than just residential work, if you want to make a good living you can go into commercial HVAC field. Working on large equipment is more stressful and requires special training but can be very rewarding. It takes years of training both in the field and in the classroom but once you get there you will be highly skilled and you will be in demand.

Bro that quote “Start of as a padawan and one day you’ll be a Jedi” was so motivational

[Crawlerfiles]

Great advice. I’m an installer in Vegas and one piece I’d add is that you can be afraid of heights (pack units) afraid of the heated attics (up to 140 degrees.) the hardest part of the job is the mental part. There will be times it gets so hot you feel like you’re going to pass out or blackout. Remember drink a lot of water, and NEVER DUMP ICE COLD WATER ON YOU AFTER GETTING OUT OF AN ATTIC. Easiest way to send yourself into shock. The money is really good from March/April through sept/October. Then it’s slow after. You still can make 60-80k a season installing. Maybe 15-20k off-season.

I’m a current HVAC student. This video gave me hope, no lies school is pretty intense and I’m only in month 3. Learning to read schematics can feel overwhelming and actually tinkering with thermostats / ac units feels like I’m climbing a mountain with my bare hands. But this video made me feel better about myself and my dream of becoming a technician 15 months from now 🙏

Damn, I watched this video 4 years ago when I thought about making the switch. I know have non- union residential, union residential, and full commercial experience. I start out out installing, maintenance, and now I am a commercial service tech. It’s incredibly how far I have come in such a short amount of time. Thank you! But man, this video is absolutely 110% accurate. I agree with all of it and could not explain it any better. Hope you are still out there man!

As a master Commercial/ Industrial HVAC technician with 34 years experience you are exactly right!!
I work for one of the largest HVAC manufacturers in the world. In this career you will be an installer, service tech and a salesman if you expect to get to the top of your game. Learning every aspect of this business will drive up your worth throughout your career.

This career field has unlimited possibilities if you give it your all...
I also teach HVAC at our local trade school at night and try to instill this in the new techs!

I’ve always had a moto about my worth...”learn everything you can about this business....and sell it to the highest bidder”!

Glade to see young new talent!!!

51 year old journeyman of almost 30 years ehre.. love seeing a young man get in the trade and promote it.not enough people getting into the trades these days. we have been telling kids for 50 years you can't make money with out a college education, here is a prime example of a young man proving that just because you don't go to college does not mean that you are locked out of a good career.

[themorosepittbull]

Don't work for any company that forces you to sell. The job is hard enough

[josephsantos]

I start HVAC school in August, I’m applying at a few locations for helpers now. I’m 20 years old and glad I found my passion for this young! Super dope channel man!

[glopez]

I live in Florida and just made the decision to change at 33 years old from my desk job to something that will not only have great income potential but also will keep me physically active as well as provide me with the skills to be part of a trade that is a need in so many aspects of our lives.. I start school Monday and this video definitely helped me feel way more confident in my decision.. Thanks

[JonathanGarcia-grno]

I resonate with this! As an 18 year old with 80 years of experience working on Jupiter servicing alien tech to cool their tentacles, it’s the more satisfying than a drop of water in the Saharan desert!

[Tsunami]

Been in the trade since 1984 when I entered a college Technologist program for HVAC. Did some mechanical estimating, sales and marketing early on and then went full bore into the trade .
I’m 55 now and still enjoy it but I’m feeling the workload more .
God Bless all who chose this Trade ✝️

[DReaves]

I’m 22 years old and just got hired at this small company to get some experience. Thanks for this video man, you got straight to the point and it gave me more confidence that i can succeed in this field

[kurtmattox]

Working for a small mom and pop company is by far the best way to get started in HVAC. You learn so much more vs. working for a larger company in my opinion

[georgewgayiii]

Tip 11: Avoid residential at all costs. Heavy commercial refrigeration is where the money is at.
Get in with a supermarket company if you enjoy a challenge and don't mind the occasional stressful situation

[Dark_Ages_Crusader]

Stick with it, never give up, think outside the box, and learn to work fast. And always be honest!
I’m in just my 5th year as service tech....feels like It’s not the world’s hardest job. This stuff takes time to learn, but if you’re immersed in it the knowledge/experience will come. Thanks for the video!

[gregm]

I have been a HVAC/R Technician for over 32 years and I love it. I could not picture myself doing anything else!

[Luvoglatinas]

i’m in highschool and i’m blessed to have a hvac class but shit hard asf, but i definitely needed to hear this

[carsonJones-gfsx]

I’ve been in the field for over 8+ years and I’ve done very good for myself and worked very hard to get to where I am and I get bored every now and again and look up random videos about hvac (difficult diagnoses processes or even hearing peoples opinions/ tips on coming into the field) you have the most spot on examples and advice for some one come in and I want to tell you you that I respect you and you said everything I would have said to anyone asking about it . Keep it up and I hope you the best on everything you do man
