    Hello all.

    How's it going everybody, I stumbled across this site while looking for info on EPA certification and seeing that I am just getting started to becoming a HVAC tech ( I just started school) I thought I would join the forum. Looks like a great site with a lot of knowledgeable people here. I look forward to being able to join in on some discussions as soon as I learn more. I am just now getting into the Nature of Electricity. So I hope you don't mind if I lurk around a bit. Justin

    Yeah we have HVAC here, it's about the only type of work that is stable right now. This is going to be a big career change for me, I was in shipping and receiving and I shipped out plumbing , heating and cooling parts. Our hours were cut drastically so I figured I will take advantage of the time off and actually get into a career. I decided not to trust what jobs that are available and get into something that is universally used. My family and I have decided that when my daughter is 3 years old we are going to move from Michigan hence my career choice.

    Ok I will keep that in mind. I really appreciate it. I had trouble with formulas. I haven't used that stuff in 12-13 years. I took the exam and got a 92%. Surprised myself, but I study it for awhile. Justin
