HVACTA: A day in the life
The HVAC industry offers a rewarding lifelong career, but it requires work… truth is, being in the HVAC industry can be quite challenging. After all, you will be working in all sorts of conditions, including confined spaces, difficult weather, and working closely with residents. Not trying to scare anyone off, just keeping it real.
HVACTA: Another Day of Doing
Two of the three systems are up and running. Our third, Frankenstein, has been more difficult, but that has not sidetracked progress. In addition to getting the third up and running, brazing, working with gauges, and handling preventive maintenances colored the day. This morning, we continued diagnosing and troubleshooting Mrs. Smith’s system… seems like her system is always in need of troubleshooting and resolving!
HACTA: I am a BRAZER
For those not familiar, HVAC brazing is a high-heat metal-joining process for creating strong, leak-proof refrigerant lines, using filler metal (like silver alloys) melted by a torch, requiring specific equipment (torch, rods, nitrogen) and strict safety protocols (PPE, fire prevention) to join copper pipes for high-pressure systems.
HVAC Capacitor: What about it?
Like anything else, capacitors do not last forever. Signs of failure including humming, failure to start, or short. Having a bad capacitor also causes the air conditioner system to not operate or not operate the way it was meant to. For example, if the outdoor cfm capacitor goes bad, the cfm will not operate, resulting in blowing warm air instead of cool air. Being in Florida, hot air during the summer months is not a positive experience.
