Bookmarked! Thank you for this. I've been developing an interest in HVAC work over the last couple of years, and don't doubt I have the mind for it. I am unfortunately very uncertain whether I'm physically suited to it; I have the balance of a toddler thanks to surgery when I was 20, so ladders and/or precarious footing are not my friend. Although beginning to consider retirement (I'm 63) from my "first" career in the computer world, I'm nowhere near ready for the rocking chair, and like the idea of remaining useful and working with my hands in another aspect of technology. With the poor balance, I'd be perfectly happy in a "helper" type status, for all the things I'd be hesitant to attempt myself.

I’m about to finish hvac school at my local community college but this is great for people getting into the field👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@bobboscarato1313]

Curtis you're right on the money about schooling and field training experience in service and troubleshooting equipment!

[@Ytgrenzostikkedup]

Im 21 years old, and I really want to learn and actually build a career in this field, but when I was younger I made some mistakes in my life and I became a felon. I’m trying to turn my life around and I have a kid on the way also. Do you think that I would be able to still work in this field and what are some good tips that could help me actually find a place to start?

[@Kanjiromaji]

get the certs your record wont matter a good amount of ppl in trades are felons brother i assure you me included

[@jthonn]

Unfortunately, I am too old to start a new career, I would rather call you out. What a great field for a young man (or woman) to get into. It is something that will always be around. I know you had told me that the school out there graduates people that are not ready. Maybe you could start an apprentice program and help train serious people. I know there are times you could use the help. I always said with any occupation, if you want to be the best, learn from the best.

How old are you ?

After searching through my local hvac companies, physically calling and going into locations to drop off resumes because other places said go on indeed and see what positions we have that are open. I did get a answer from one small company, i did a helper position yesterday that took 14 hr to install a furnace and AC. that had alot of problems i observed, such as them attempting to braze and install a condenser in 50° ambient, without flux, and reaming the copper. Many other technical errors that i wish i was able to do right for the customer if it were me. Such as not recovering the little bit left of R22 in the system. I hope to find something great through your recommendation that can benefit me in the long run. I enjoy watching your content.

[@fixitdude9748]

You didnt call out their errors?

[@citricdemon]

​@fixitdude9748 no one's gonna listen to the helper, especially if he's right

Hi, Curtis, Great video as usual. At time stamp 3:13, please change the on-screen banner from "Hands's on . . ." to "Hands on . . ."

[@tekjunkie28]

This is amazing. I have been applying for jobs and looking for apprenticeships but nothing has been offered to me except 1. I should have taken it but I was skeptical and the company was new and I have 2 younger responsibilities at home. At the same time I have a stable job even though I'm pretty much not going to make more here.

[@pipi7731]

An ides for you. Start at the breaker in the air handler and show how to wire the transformer to circuit board and thermostat. Then to the condenser unit. Another would be a draw down. Vacuum all the gas out of a unit step by step plus settings on equipment.

[@Hvac-dude]

That's how my school was my instructor would break furnaces then make us fix it!!!

[@natersalad889]

Dang $2500 for this program including a laptop is cheap. I'm a mechanic and just do my own hvac repairs on my own home, but if I was wanting to do this as a career I'd definitley jump on that. Especially since all the school portion of it can be done at home on my own time, except the externship part afterwards of course.... is is just a certificate, not a degree, but thats all you need in the HVAC industry

[@Niveous23]

Hell, I paid over 1500 in tools alone to start. The courses were another price tag. But I still have like 95% of those starting tools over 5 years later, so it's not a waste or anything. But it aint cheap!

[@natersalad889]

My 2 year degree to be a mechanic was $25,000. So $2500 isn't spit to be roughly the same income give or take...

[@Niveous23]

@@natersalad889 Agreed. I got lucky. I think I only paid roughly....12 grand for my two year degree. Give or take. It's been a while. Mechanic is a cool degree to have. Bet it can take you anywhere in the world.

[@seansweeney8588]

Thank you for a great video to guide us to the right school!

[@peace7221]

Thank you. What motivated you to recommend this online program? I was on their website and I see that the some of the benefits you mentioned are actually what is mentioned on the website. Did you go through the program? I am looking for someone who actually completed the program and benefited from it by actually entering the HVAC field successfully as a result. Thank you again.

[@agordianknot]

If you are describing your HVAC educational experience as a student at Albany Technical College, it must have changed immensely for the worse. The HVAC instructor I had at Albany Technical College owned an HVAC company and would send his students out, by themselves, on a call he had received and let them figure it out. He also let you keep the money he would normally charge for that call if you fixed the problem. He didn't send someone out who was the class clown or was unable to do the classwork.

[@Man11235]

I live outside Kansas city Missouri and I been leaning towards Penn Fosters Online certification courses because they seem very professional and the last 10 days you do actual in field work. I'm not sure if they have simulations in their online courses. If anyone is using Penn Foster for their HVAC certification program or know if they're a good program to go through I would greatly appreciate your feedback.

[@tonyneal21]

You ever do the penn foster program

[@Niveous23]

I'd love to get NATE certified. I got my Universal and most of my ICE certs. But it's not easy from what every technician tells me. A lot of code involved.

[@bobboscarato1313]

Most tests are open book!

[@bobboscarato1313]

Or multiple answers. Need to get them right!

[@ConfusingZark-hj5bt]

Necro post: So i want to move to another state but I want to arrive with a license for that state when I get there. Is that possible?

[@JSATI]

Hypothetical. As a business owner. You are looking for an employee. You are going to on board someone who completed Preppy certification and has EPA universal with zero other experience. In your geographical location what are you as a small business owner able to onboard that applicant at hourly & benefits wise? What can said applicant look forward to in income growth potential within the company? In brief what would their work scheduling look like? 40hrs guaranteed, 40+ req OT, 40 + on call, weekends, etc..

[@bobboscarato1313]

Good questions but difficult answers as HVAC is very seasonal even in places like Houston Texas where we need a/c in the mild season due to humidity!

[@elle-xu3ep]

​@@bobboscarato1313Hi Bob, are you a HVAC business owner or a tech. ? You sound like you're talking from experience .I'm a nubie from Spring. Any words of wisdom? Things you wish someone had told you when you first started out ? Programs ,schools to avoid in the area? things like that?

[@greenlightstudios3816]

I took a SkillMill course that costs farrrrrrr less than what you offer here man. As a certified technician myself. You could've went and about way better to find better and less expensive learning software.

[@Momosassers]

You happen to have a link to that?

[@WaldoG-b9j]

So I got my universal certificate I feel that now refrigerant is changing to flammable and toxic refrigerant so changes everything. Equipment going electronics I feel my pay should be better the new equipment like a2l and mini splits

If you want to learn HVAC, join the Navy. Huge systems, great training and in depth experience with large systems, you can work anywhere.

Hey Curtis, Kevin dexter Barnes here from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean, can I train online from here with the school u are talking about?
