There really isn't a legitimate excuse for not doing the job correctly!
Learned about HVAC talk at Comfort tech a couple of years ago. I have been in this business starting in the supply side as a bookkeeper in 1977 and soon realized that seemed like a prison and migrated to the service side in about 80 and then full time in 85.
This is a fascinating business and is always changing which is part of the fascination I suppose. As I have seen some of you post it is never the same from day to day. Also anyone who has been at it very long knows we have to do everything from wood work, plumbing, electrical wiring and troubleshooting, refrigeration and airflow.
I look forward to learning from each of you and hope I may be able to help others as well.
Ted!!!!!!!
If you do not send me goodies!!!!!!
I will post those pictures of you from camp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes he was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I started my interest in this field about 1 year ago. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do with my life, so I checked out a couple of schools and one particular school caught my eye. WyoTech in Long Beach, California. I drove over to the campus one morning and talked with a representative, she took me on a tour of the campus and showed me what was available. They had it all to Medical, Automotive, Electrical, Plumbing & RHVAC. I had heard about all of the above but the most mysterious to me was HVAC, I had never really heard of the trade and was just curious at that point to learn more. I immediately just told the rep. I want to take the HVACR course. I didn't care, I wasn't sure why I chose it, but it felt like the right thing to do. I just went with my gut feeling, plus they had told me that it was a mixture of electrical, plumbing and all sorts of crafts in one. In a sense... so I fell in love. I learned a lot from my instructors who are respected contractors still in business. They were a few guys with negative attitudes always talking **** about the schools and instructors... saying things like, this diploma isn't worth ****, and if this guy was making money why would he be instructing? I payed no attention though, all of them dudes ended up dropping out. I figured the instructors just loved what they did, educating. I mean i'm 22 years old and my instructors are well on to their 40's. The main thing they would tell me is, you guys are the future of HVAC, we need young guys that know what they're doing and that are going to have a love and passion to do what we do, and do things the RIGHT way. They stressed all the time how most of the guys in the field are doing half ass jobs and are bringing a bad rep to the industry. It's instructors like these that made me fall in love with the trade. I learned something for once in my life that I have a passion to grow old with! I just recently graduated not top of my class, but I was up there. I'm proud of my diploma, it's like i'm looking into my future, because the future lies only in my hands. If you got to know me, you'll know that i'm a leader and always strive to accomplish my goals. I'm a very confident, motivated individual that's potentials and capabilities are unlimited. I strongly feel that we are the only limitations to life, we only limit ourselves. I cannot wait to get a job and begin my journey, I cannot wait to be a REAL HVAC Technician and one day I will be a HVAC Contractor!
Here's what I learned at school:
• Refrigeration Theory and Electricity
• Electronic Control Mechanism
• Copper Piping and Soldering Techniques
• Air Conditioning and Heating Systems
• Diagnostic and Repair Procedures
• Gas Furnace Design and Wiring Safety
• Power Sources and Circuit Diagrams
• Testing Instruments and Troubleshooting Techniques
• Pressure and Temperature Charts
Thanks for having me fellas, hope to have that pro membership

sounds like your instructors are top shelf
It`s better to be silent and thought the fool; than speak and remove all doubt.
