Just received the following from Lucas:

Hey Danny, it’s Lucas. I took your class round this time last year. I’m nearing my first full year of combined experience in HVAC. Still working at Aldons, except instead of maintenance, I’m a full-on Service Technician. I’ve been diagnosing, repairing, and maintaining systems full time since a few weeks after they hired me.

When it comes to safety, trips, slips, and falls account for a huge percentage of hospital visits annually. As a result, we dedicate a great deal of time on the subject.

Whether you’re standing on the second rung of an A-frame ladder or near the top of an extension ladder, you face potential fall hazards that may result in severe injury or death.

Ladder Safety is a MUST

I got this...

I got this…

Falls are a leading cause of injuries in the HVAC industry, according to Electrical Contractor Magazine.

In 2023, The American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons reported 500,000 people were treated for ladder related injuries, with 300 of these incidents proving fatal. Numbers are not just statistics, they represent the lives and livelihoods of people affected by preventable accidents.

Dedicated to your HVAC learning experience, HVACTA centers ALL activities around safety.

Remember one small step can lead to a life-changing injury… please be careful.

Nghi Thoi video transcript - Capacitor Replacement (Training Transcript)

Speaker: Nghi Thoi

[Laughter] Hi, my name is Nghi from HVAC Technical Academy. Today I’m going to show you how to take it out capacitor and replace it. This is capacitor. It show like the rating 35 flash five mean 35 is pressure and five is a fan, be like 5%. This is a dual capacitor be like common fourprong. They got home three prong and the fans run part. Especially do is they energize start and running on compressor and the fan. When they go out, when they go bad, the fan and compressor not going to working.

So, let’s check out how it work. I’m going to check out the harm first. It reading zero, so mean it’s bad for compressor. And we’re taking a fan is it’s come up 4.9; this mean the fan is working.

So here the capacitor are located on condenser. If you want to replace it, just unplug a wire from home compressor and commons and fan. Then you swap it in. You plug back in and they should be energized for all condenser system.

That’s how it works. And that should be it. Thank you for watching. My name is Nghi. So, have a nice day.

Speaker: Roger Williford

Hello everybody. It’s your boy Roger. I’m gonna be telling you about a defrost board today.

Basically your defrost board, it just tell you signals about your fan, it give you your 24 volts, it send signal to your heat strip.

And then what can happen on your defrost board? Any little thing can happen like if an amp get into it to just stop working right and not function right.

So, and you can replace them. So, that’s what I’m—that’s all I know about a defrost board.

Braze 101HVAC brazing is a process used in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry for joining metal components together using a filler metal that melts at a higher temperature than the materials being joined.

Braze or Weld, Here’s The Scoop

Brazing is often preferred over welding in HVAC applications because it allows for joining dissimilar metals and creates strong, durable connections without melting the base metals.

The photo shows a brazing first attempt… wait until another few weeks and see the huge improvement!

We’ll delve into brazing over the next few entries but if you have any questions or suggestions, send me a note…
