Reliable and punctual does not mean driving onto the parking lot at the exact moment you are scheduled to clock in. Technicians are expected to be at location approximately ten minutes early… if you are not early, you are late!
During our six-week HVAC Workshop program, safety and customer service skills are reviewed via role playing and real world applications on a daily basis.
We discussed some of the HVAC fundamental skills required to be a solid technician, now it’s time to look at what it takes to become an EXCELLENT technician.
We’ll continue next time and review characteristics employers are looking for when it comes to becoming an excellent employee and HVAC Technician.
Brazing Alloy Application: Once the assembly reaches the appropriate temperature, the brazing alloy (filler metal) is applied to the joint. It melts and flows into the joint by capillary action.
The surfaces of the metal components to be joined are cleaned thoroughly to remove any contaminants that could interfere with the brazing process.
A flux, which is a chemical cleaning agent, is applied to the joint area. The flux helps to remove oxides and promote the wetting of the filler metal.
