HVAC Capacitor: What’s it all about
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.
Let’s review what a bad capacitor may cause to your cooling comfort:
Tru Tech Tools: Nothing but the Best
During the second week of our six-week program, tools are distributed fresh out of the box. Over the next four weeks all will break down systems, diagnose, troubleshoot, perform preventive maintenances, and build distribution boxes (and so much more) with their new tools. Once the program concludes, tools are theirs to keep.
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.
On another note, for those looking to obtain HVAC tools, our position is clear: Tru Tech Tools is the place to go.
Resideo and ARS in the House
Yesterday 2nd Chance University was honored to have three guests share insight about the HVAC Industry with our group of ten. Those sharing were Christopher Ward from ARS, and Katy Smith as well as Mollie Medrano (who flew in from Houston) representing Resideo.
We are honored to have such guests delivering the highest level of professionalism and knowledge as well as a few takeaways along the way!
HACTA: Braze Masters in the Making
We waste no time to get into HVAC action. That’s the great thing about HVAC Technical Academy, we learn by doing. In addition to brazing, tomorrow we will be handling out tools and get down and dirty by taking apart systems… yep, that adventure will soon become a reality.
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.
HVACTA: Group and Warm Up
Over our aggressive six-week term, all learn the complete HVAC refrigeration cycle, preventive maintenances, component diagnostics/replacement, and so much more… 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.
