Have fun, you will as long as your changing Ignitors, pressure switches, thermostats, burnt obvious wires. Youll do fine for about 6 months.

[Chad711]

Can you troubleshoot refrigeration systems? Read schematics?Would you know how to wire in an outdoor stat for a heat pump with say L.P. backup? Could you install/diagnose a zone system?


Either your a freaking GENIUS or your going to get in over your head.

Or your messin with us cause your bored...

No the best way to learn, is to work with an experieced mechanic for atleast 3 years and go to school.

You didn't state your mechanical apptitude so I hope for your sake,you get the proper training. Without mechanical experence you are more apt to get hurt.Good luck

Don't get discouraged Mike, your gonna have some days real soon that will make you wanna quit and you will feel overwhelmed and frankly stupid. But stick with it , read alot ask alot of questions and By all means if your not sure of something ASK and if you don't feel comfortable doing it...don't......... get someone else out there....alot of info on this site so start reading GL mikey



And for cool, Not all contractors in MI are bad in fact there are some great ones out there. I was speaking more on "to work for" bases anyway(ya know the ones that throw ya in a truck with 4 months exp )

Evaluate your position, this company is not doing you any favor by turning you out too soon. If you can't get the proper training with in that company look for a better company one that will help educate you.
