  • A Day In The Life Of An HVAC Technician with HVAC Roddy. Hey I’m Roderick and I became an HVAC Technician in April of 2020. Watch as I take you on a typical HVAC repair or HVAC maintenance call for a rookie/new HVAC Technician. I started this channel to show and motivate anyone who is eager in getting into the HVAC World . But just an FYI I am a rookie so my experience level and techniques are no where near as good as some of the senior level technicians lol but that’s okay because that’s why I’m here to show we all have to start somewhere. Subscribe to my channel to see my daily life or my service calls or even maybe we can go under someone house inside a crawl space. Hope you enjoy :)

    For being a younger guy Roddy and somewhat newer you’re very professional. You listen to the homeowner, which is really important, and you thoroughly investigate issues even if you can’t determine what the issue is, you at least try to find answers. You definitely have the ingredients for making it far in this trade. 👍

    How do you get started in hvac ? I’m also in Georgia. Do you just take a course at a tech school and then apply for an apprenticeship ?

    • @HVACGUY
      @HVACGUY Рік тому

      That’s a great start. In GA we can apply for the Pell Grant, and the Hope Scholarship. Between the two you may not need to pay anything at all. And if you’re applying for a job if they know you’re going to school or that you’ve graduated it very much helps.
