It's unrealistic to think that you can learn everything you need to know about HVACR in only two months.

  • i recently went back to school for HVACR because i needed to upgrade my skills also employers wont keep you working unless u know your shit bottom line so learn all you can

  • @erd675 Thanks for watching. The more you learn; the more you earn.

  • Hello Dr Z, I knew absolutly nothing about HVAC/electricity/brazing before I went to school for it. The HVAC program was 2 year program, crammed into 9 months, which was great considering I needed a job. The teachers did a great job with getting everone prepared for their new career. I kinda wish they went into the troubleshooting a bit more, but on the job experience during the summer months, you learn REAL quick. What are your thoughts on the new Trane air handlers? I HATE THEM lol

  • @nickfkd76 There's no perfect HVAC system out there. Each brand has it's own issues. It seems that the engineers think that they're too good to ask us techs what we think. Just wait til you get started in the commercial end of the trade. You only think that you hate Trane air handlers. You can't do shit without a computer with any of the new equipment out there.

  • Yes, you have to learn on the job. Well that's what helped me anyway. Anyway Dr. Z, the secondary windings on the transformer burned up on my friends furnace. I can't seem to find out what caused it. Usually the problem I've run in ]to is, the 24VAC wires that energize the contactor on the condenser are severed and have shorted because they touch. I don't want to put a new transformer in there, because I know it will burn up. Any suggestions or corrective criticism will be appreciated. Thank you

  • @matai06kyodai You could have a bad coil on a contactor or relay that's over amping when it energizes.

see all

  • I started learning HVAC back in 89. I remember being able to buy freon at a plumbing store for $35 a jug!

  • One thing about HVAC, you have to learn as you go and you NEVER seem to stop learning. Hitting the books helps a lot but its not a substitute for experience on the job.

  • Heck i been doing this since 96' , and i'm still learning.
