About hackfreehvac
I am an HVAC/R journeyman technician in the Phoenix, AZ area. This area is infested with HVAC hacks, especially in the residential HVAC side of the business.
In the past 10 years of being in this area I have collected many pictures and some videos of the hackfest problem in our area which I have shared on youtube.
Now that I work "in house" doing commerical HVAC/R, most of my new videos will be "how to's" or otherwise show n tell.
I still do some part time commercial/residential repairs "in the field" every now and then which means the occasional HACKERS LOG video may result as well. :-)
