Over the past few days we have been working on completing three complete system swaps. No better way to close out the month (and week of hard work) than getting all three up and running!

HVACTA: System Swap in Action

This means once all are up and ready, we will continue the project by working on air flow; plenum, box, flex, and registers will be added on. Naturally once all is resident ready, the art of hands-on diagnosing, troubleshooting and preventive maintenances will be keeping us busy.

Not to worry, photos of their progression will be joining as we go so check back soon.

Getting all hands-on deck, today we continued the journey by completing a total of three system swaps. The past two weeks have led to this moment… success will be found by end of day (Friday at latest).

Books to the side: Time to Get It Done

Though there were a few struggles, clarity remained on focus from all. Provided are a couple photos of their first-time experience… I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow!

Getting all hands-on deck, this week we are getting down with a total of three system swaps. Hard to believe this group is advancing to this point so quickly… needless to say, I have confidence everyone’s knowledge, skills and abilities will progress smoothly.

Though there were a few struggles, clarity and resolve remained focused for all. Provided are a couple photos of the first-time experience… I can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow!

Here’s a quick summary of what the installation process requires:

Refrigerant Recovery: Safely removing old refrigerant according to EPA regulations.
Removal: Disconnecting electrical and gas lines to remove the old indoor and outdoor units.
Installation: Setting the new units, connecting new refrigerant lines, and upgrading the thermostat.
Testing: Pressurizing the lines, pulling a vacuum to remove moisture, and calibrating airflow.

Yep, we do it all, and so shall YOU!

Can you say, “up and running?” I certainly hope so as the group completed the installation (from scratch) a double headed mini split. We are talking, doing it all!

Totally proud of the group as each got involved above and beyond the call of duty. Check out the photos and recognize something special is going on… we are building dreams, one capacitor at a time.

Interested in HVAC, our learning by doing approach may be the right 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.

Today all are getting their hands in some mini split complete system swap. This is a rare treat but one which will hold a great deal of value… after all, having the knowledge, skills, and abilities to clean, troubleshoot, and fully swap out is a HUGE plus.

HVACTA: Mini Split Swap

Getting you in the know, a mini split system is a ductless heating and cooling solution composed of an outdoor compressor unit and one or more indoor air handlers, offering zoned temperature control, high energy efficiency, and easier installation compared to central HVAC systems.

Several Key Benefits include:

Energy Efficiency: Mini splits use inverter compressor technology, which adjusts power output to match demand, saving energy compared to traditional systems that cycle on/off. They also eliminate energy loss through ductwork.
Zoned Control: Each indoor unit operates independently, allowing for individual temperature control in different rooms or zones, reducing energy consumption by only conditioning occupied areas.
Easy Installation: Since no extensive ductwork is needed, installation is less invasive and requires only a small opening in the wall to connect the indoor and outdoor units.
Improved Air Quality: By bypassing ducts, these systems reduce the circulation of allergens, dust, and other debris that can accumulate in duct systems.
Quiet Operation: Indoor units are typically very quiet, with some models operating at sound levels as low as 19 dB.

Over the past couple days all participants took part in complete system swaps. Heavy hands-on learning, progress leads the way.

HACTA: System Swap Progress

Throughout the following weeks all will have the opportunity to build distribution boxes, run flex, attach registers, perform troubleshooting, and get down with multiple preventive maintenances. Naturally working on gauges happens daily.

We are living the HVAC dream… and making it real!

Not even through the second week, participants are getting involved with a complete system swap. No doubt the system will be up and running before week’s end.

HVACTA: System Installation

Understanding low voltage wiring is not an option… it is a MUST. Here’s a quick summary: HVAC low-voltage wiring uses a 24-volt AC control circuit to send signals between the thermostat and the heating/cooling equipment (furnace, air handler, condenser). This control wiring tells high-voltage components, such as the compressor and fan motors, when to turn on or off via relays and contactors.

The thermostat acts as the primary control interface and a series of switches that open or close the low-voltage circuits based on temperature settings.

Keep in on this journey as the group builds, tests, troubleshoots, and performs preventive maintenances on the system they are installing… it’s gonna rock!

For those interested in a challenging and rewarding career move, HVAC may be the perfect lifelong journey where every day you get to become a hero.

Mrs. Smith, our standing resident, is cheerful and not just because of the Holiday… Her split system is up and running AND cooling the place to her comfort level. With the plenum up, registers in place, air flow is making all ready to open Christmas presents.

HVACTA: System Swap Complete and Cooling

The group excelled in the new system project, take a look at the flex and imagine cold air blowing on you right now.

From wiring to the vacuum, to everything in between, all got their hands in the groove. Come to think of it, the BEST way to learn the life of an HVAC technician IS to learn by doing. There were a few mistakes along the way but that’s to be expected. After all, without challenges and overcoming issues, growth will never happen.

HVAC Technical Academy is about your personal and professional growth… and when it comes to the HVAC industry, we are pretty awesome.

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.

After a relaxing weekend, all returned today with one goal in mind: get all three system swaps up and running and it looks like all are focused and well on the way.

HVACTA: New System Installation Day 3

System swaps require a great deal of concentration, skill, patience, and knowledge. This workshops group has all the above and it’s getting close to getting all up and running.

Drain lines, float switches, low voltage wiring, and a whole bunch of brazing and testing are about to come to a positive conclusion. Suspect tomorrow (or the day following, just before Thanksgiving) will find all working on plenum and building boxes. Next week will be installing collars, flex, and registers… at least that is the plan. Once all are up, that’s when the HVQAC servicing element and preventive maintenances comes in play.
