Allowing challenges, hands-on learning, and frustration to ride shotgun, the group is progressing nicely. All three systems are scheduled to be up and operating before end of Tuesday… and you know what that means? You guessed it, plenum, distribution boxes, flex, and registers will be next in line… how exciting this is becoming!

HVACTA: New System Installation – Getting Close

Though there were a couple re-do’s over the past couple days, striving for excellence will never be marginalized. After all, if our group was installing at your place, perfection is what you would expect also.

Photos displayed are all action from today… so you get an inside depiction of what HVACTA does and expects. So far, only a couple minor cuts (but those are to be expected) while ALL are well on their way to a new career.

Later on today, Wednesday, the group will be partnering hard work with pizza from Humgry Howie’s. Will let you know how that goes. Until then, remain groovy and keep sharing, commenting, and checking us out.

HVACTA is dedicated to building YOUR HVAC knowledge, skills, and abilities, all in six weeks. For those looking for a new career, consider HVAC Technical Academy.

Achievements are always a great opportunity to bring family, friends, and peers nearby for recognition and celebration… each step forward is a success.

This past Friday evening many gathered to celebrate the completion of our six-week HVAC workshop. If you followed our posts and progress over the past six weeks, no doubt you recognize the hard work and dedication everyone put in.

HACTA: Celebration Time

We experienced another standing room only event. And don’t forget the provided refreshments purchased from Publix… overall, an awesome way to celebrate their professional progression.

On this note, we owe a great deal of respect and gratitude for the following organizations who help make this possible:

* Tropical Air of Central Florida
* Kalos Services Inc.
* TruTech Tools
* CareerSource of Central Florida

For those who attended, thank you for showing support and simply being there. Your presence means a great deal!

Truth is, either you love HVAC or you don’t. For those who enjoy working outside (oftentimes in the most challenging weather conditions), doing something different every day, identifying problems and then resolving problems, HVAC may be your career choice.

HACTA and Loving It

When it comes to knowledge, skills, and abilities, HVAC service technicians do it all. We are talking about plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and air conditioning / heating, there’s no other industry like it. With so much to learn, our principle is straight forward: learn by doing.

Looking forward to being part of this journey. For those interested in HVAC as a career, give me a call.

Nothing like spending an afternoon working on condenser fan motors… today all were tasked to perform full cfm replacements, check capacitors and ancillary components.

Interested in HVAC, our learn by doing approach may be the right method for you.

If you enjoy daily challenges, working with your hands, and never a dull moment, the HVAC industry may be a good fit for you and HVAC Technical can help you get there quickly, we are talking six weeks.

Being in the HVAC industry is not always for the lighthearted. Getting cuts and bruises are part of the game, thus PPE is always stressed.

HVACTA: Boo Boo’s Happen

Yesterday we experienced a medical emergency. The enclosed photo showcases what can happen if one is not careful and not wearing appropriate gear.

For those looking for an exciting career, working with your hands, and never a dull moment, the HVAC industry may be a good fit for you. To note, proper PPE is always recommended.

Whether you’re standing on the second rung of an A-frame ladder or near the top of an extension ladder, you face potential fall hazards that may result in severe injury or death.

HACTA: Ladder Safety

Falls are a leading cause of injuries in the HVAC industry, according to Electrical Contractor Magazine.

In 2023, The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons reported 500,000 people were treated for ladder related injuries, with 300 of these incidents proving fatal. Numbers are not just statistics, they represent the lives and livelihoods of people affected by preventable accidents.

Dedicated to your HVAC learning experience, HVACTA centers ALL activities around safety.

Remember one small step can lead to a life-changing injury… please be careful.
