I really hate those blower motor brackets. Why can’t they just have each foot physically attached at all 3 points. I’ve been screwing them in place if I have short 5/16” or 1/4” self tappers. It’s so frustrating fumbling with those damn things and they’ve been that way for years.

[@jasonstewart5942]

Might be a good idea to do that going forward Curtis. Get ya a little cup of those short self tappers and before even removing that blower motor bracket just screw each leg in place to the outer band. Save you from the hassle of fumbling with them anymore.

Been a service tech for 2 years and still some days I struggle with confidence. When did you start feeling good and seasoned?

[@OGHVAC]

Annalise, welcome to the HVAC profession. I retired this year after 43 year's kicking butt in residential, commercial and industrial service, installation and repair. To answer your question truthfully, it's different for everyone as far as confidence and how you approach each job. For me I started feeling confident with my abilities at about 7 to 8 year's into learning, doing and making a LOT of mistakes, which btw, will continue to happen for you. The best teacher is OJT (on the job training). A positive work ethic and attitude will go a long way. Try to learn from your mistakes and success on every job no matter how simple or difficult. The best thing that had consistently benefited me was not to beat myself up when I screwed up. Give yourself a break and pat yourself on the back when you've done a professional and kickass job. YOU WILL screw up...keep your head up and move forward. It's a HARD and rewarding career so have FUN with it. Good luck!
