HVAC Break Down: Pizza and Learning

HVAC Break Down: Pizza and Learning

HVAC Break Down: Pizza and Learning

Taking advantage of Hungry Howie’s Whacky Wednesday, all got their slices and drinks. My favorite flavor is the Hawaiian (gotta have pineapple) while we ordered six other flavors to feed the need.

When it comes to the learning part, here’s a sketch of what we do at HVAC Technical Academy:
* Fundamentals: understanding refrigeration theory and air conditioning systems
* Technical skills: working with hand tools, brazing, gauges, vacuum/recovery, etc.
* Safety and Compliance: keeping the environment and participants safe… in addition to obtaining their Universal 608 Certification, all also go through OSHA 10 General Industry training
* Diagnostics: from complete system swaps, component replacements, diagnostics, troubleshooting, to performing preventive maintenances

We are not just an HVACT workshop, our methods are guided by building lasting relationships, personal growth, and practical knowledge, skills, and abilities while mixing hands-on, theory, and safety upon each step in the path.

Questions, give me a call, make comments, email.

HVACTA: Group Day Two Photo and Warm Up

Day two is about development and seamlessly getting into HVAC industry expectations from an employer, client, and technician perspective. In addition we came together as one unified group as the photos detail.

Participants are expected to learn the complete HVAC cycle, including proper procedures for using a dolly to take a condenser off the trailer.

Gotta run as a new system is heading down the road and we need to take it off the trailer, inspect, and ensure all paperwork is correct… yep, we do it all.

Definitely proud of the product given the limitations presented (which was intentional). After all, getting the job done in the most in confined areas makes the job easier when given open spaces. That’s what we do here, make it a challenge and this gives all an advantage.

HVACTA: System Swap Continues

This means once all are up and ready, we will continue the project by working on air flow; box, flex, and registers will be added on. Naturally once all is resident ready, all will perform troubleshooting and preventive maintenances.

Not too worry, photos of their progression will be joining as we go so check back soon
One-on-one attention paid off big time.

HVACTA: Burn Baby Burn

After several hours/days of brazing, all are required to perform in the oddest situations. Often enveloped by cardboard, all practice flame lengths and positions. Truth is, better to burn under a controlled situation than at Mrs. Smith home… don’t you think?
