"From Rookie to Pro: My Humble Beginnings in HVAC 12 Years Ago"

If you could go back in time, I wonder what the Walter of now would tell the Walter of back then? Thanks for the footage!!

That's a good question. Listen more, speak less, and always keep learning. The most valuable insights often come from truly hearing others-not just their words but their perspectives and experiences. When you listen, you understand; when you speak, you repeat what you already know. Balance the two wisely. Make curiosity your constant companion and seek knowledge in every situation, even in setbacks. The world is a classroom, and every person you meet has something to teach you. Stay humble, ask thoughtful questions, and never let the fear of not knowing hold you back from learning. Growth comes from being open to what you don’t yet understand.

Memories bro. I hope the youth who don't know what to do, consider a career in HVAC before the door closes! Great video.

[@WWHVAC]

Its nice to look back and see how much you and I've growed. I still look at some of your older videos as well. God working through you has truly blessed me to become a much better technician over the years. I really look up to you! Keep it up WWHVAC!

Was this right out of Hvac school?

Long journey

12 years in the trade? That's about the mid- level of a journeyman in skills. You become pro when somebody pays you. Keep at it PAY ATTENTION to everything and gain experience and by 20 years you'll gain the beginnings of master level in skill. You will notice the need for less tools for diagnostics and doing repairs as the years progress. I could just touch,see or hear or smell something and knew what was wrong with it. I could generally get it diagnosed in under 5 minutes.
