Employer HVAC Service Technician Expectations

Employer HVAC Service Technician Expectations

HVAC is AWESOMEWe 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.

HVAC Service Technician Proficiency and Certifications:

HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) service technicians play a crucial role in maintaining, repairing, and installing HVAC systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Here are a few expectations employers typically have for HVAC service technicians (we will review more as the days approach so check back on a regular basis):

Technical Proficiency: HVAC service technicians should have a strong understanding of HVAC systems, including how they operate, their components, and troubleshooting techniques. They should be able to diagnose problems accurately and efficiently. To note, at HVACTA’s aggressive workshops are all about preparing you for the job.

Certifications: Employers often expect HVAC technicians to hold relevant certifications and licenses, such as the Universal EPA 608 certification for handling refrigerants. Continuing education to stay current with industry standards and regulations is also important.
key areas employers are looking for when it comes to hiring and promoting HVAC Technicians.

Braze: Cooling and Safety

Braze: Cooling and Safety

Braze: Mark in ActionLet’s conclude the brazing process and DO NOT forget about safety!

Braze: Cooling and Safety

Cooling: After the brazing alloy has solidified and formed a strong bond between the components, the assembly is allowed to cool.

Safety: Let’s not forget about safety as the flames are hot. When brazing ensure you have a small pale filled with water and a rag just in case it is needed. Upon brazing completion, remember the pipes are hot so do not grab immediately, place water and rag on the line as well. In addition, make sure you keep the torch away from your flesh, clothes, or objects nearby.

Conclusion: HVAC brazing is commonly used for connecting copper tubing and fittings in air conditioning and refrigeration systems. It ensures a reliable and leak-free connection, essential for the efficient operation of HVAC systems.

We’ll continue next time and review characteristics employers are looking for when it comes to becoming an excellent employee and HVAC Technician.

Braze: Assembly and Heating

Braze: Assembly and Heating

Braze: Assembly and HeatingLet’s continue the brazing process and quickly review assembly and heating.

Braze: Assembly and Heating

Assembly: The metal components are positioned and secured in place for brazing.

Heating: The assembly is heated using a torch or another heat source. The temperature must be sufficient to melt the filler metal but below the melting point of the base metals.

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.

To note: When heat is overapplied the metal component (typically copper tubing) will turn a distinct red color (indicating extreme heat) and a hole in the component could result… which is not a good thing.

We’ll continue reviewing the brazing process next time.
