Everyone in my family thought my cousin would be the bad one in our family. Well he did do time in prison in his youth, once for stealing a guys car, and another time for drugs, but he became an HVAC in early 2000s when he got out. He did installs for many years, now he's just a contractor, brings in a lot of money, has a big house big car, beautiful girlfriend. Life is good for my cousin despite a short bad start.
I personally think prison is good when you're young, it teaches kids to grow up and get a career, yet for others, it also prompts them to do much worse when they get out, because nothing for them out. I think prison is only good for the young, if you're old stay away from prison.
🔥🔥🔥 but life is full of trials and tribulations where your at now doesn’t matter good or bad bc one good move can change your life completely also your past doesn’t define your future!
I learned to stop stressing out about what's going wrong at work that's out of your control. It all pays the same, so I just do what I'm told and go at a steady pace always.
I currently work in the automotive field considering taking some classes for hvac I love automotive but it’s becoming increasingly more work for less and less pay
Dude, do it. Just know, HVAC is not much different. People complain left and right about the cost of services and depending on where you end up, the pay might not be the best at first. If you can get trained up and become a selling tech with spiffs, you'll make some good money. I've been in HVAC since 2013 doing primarily sales now and bring in around 130K. Get some!

If you have a good work history a smart company would prefer you, many of the younger guys we get only last a few weeks or months. It's well known in the trades that most middle aged guys will out-work guys 10-20 years younger.

When paid by the hour, the boss makes the value determination. It looks like completing the repair was priority regardless of what it did to billable productivity. The check cashes the same.
The time spent changing the blower speed could've been spent at the condenser to diagnose the real problem in 10 minutes . Once that's done set your blower speed to tonnage and static . You could have left a customer happy instead of making a video on him spending 700 dollars and your day doing nothing by fixing his problem This video made me happy to be a commercial tech
I dont think saying you're gettin paid to do nothing is the smartest thing to say to company on UA-cam.. dont post everything.. its the downfall of your generation
@@5822huron these kids these days are idiots they all wanna be UA-cam and tik tok celebrities instead of actually working for a living this kid would be fired immediately at the company I work for
You mean to tell me, your still getting paid ,even with the uncontrollable circumstances you ran into that interferes with your ability to do your job and make money? I definitely need to switch trades. Been a mechanic (flat rate) for almost 10 years now and with all of the uncontrollable circumstances I run into on a daily basis, I’m the one who gets screwed, makes pretty much next to nothing for an hour of my time and just gets told “better luck on the next one.” Sorry for my rant, I just think it’s nice that your company is still paying you, even though you ran into issues that are not your fault whatsoever. I think it’s time for a switch up for me.
No. You get to keep all the money the customer pays and your boss just buys all the parts, gives you the truck and pays your wages. Seriously, did you just ask that question? Dude, you must not be the sharpest knife in the drawer .
why not just use a simple rescue motor ? keep a 115 volt and a 208/230 volt on your truck at different amps/hp/rpms configurations. 4 motors is all you need 2 for indoor and 2 for outdoor. plus universal mounting brackets.

I have a similar story! I’m happy to hear that.

@@Trav-u2u how about just stay away from prison?
@@Trav-u2u so, I have to go in prison first to be successful😅

I started late in life around 35 now 45 and lifes never been better never too late to start
Would you recommend going to a trade school for hvac just graduated school

The same is happening for HVAC in Central Florida

Agreed. It was a good customer of ours, I was happy to get his system back up and running. Just a fun video to make 😎

Remind me to slip this resume in the garbage when he applies at my company

Unless it is a warranty repair use either a rescue or evergreen brand self programming motor
If I was in your situation I'd be sitting in the car whipping out my PS Vita and just waiting. Best of luck!
Why that look like the bridge to Oregon when yu were driving
Supply houses Don't Program the Motor ?
Yeah they do lol
lets goo! Good content :)

I will be starting very soon with Entry level Hvac. With the money you make on the jobs do you keep it or do you return it back to the office?
No. You get to keep all the money the customer pays and your boss just buys all the parts, gives you the truck and pays your wages. Seriously, did you just ask that question? Dude, you must not be the sharpest knife in the drawer .
It's a piece of York!

Should have
@@ShortyHVAC unless you come across that rare 115 volt 8+amp motor you see on 20 yr. Old equipment lol then you'd have to order it 😅
@@hecticmotorsports3202 hahahah for real 😂
@@ShortyHVAChe obviously has NO IDEA how to wire the motor up
@jacobkennon9603 LMAOOO
Just get a Evergreen motor.
How about in the winter do you still make your 40 hours weekly??
Not always.
Only if you the top lead of the company
Mike is right, personally I always get 40 but not everyone.
@@ShortyHVAC I had an offer, currently doing apartment maintenance but when he said 30-35 hours in winter it is deal breaker for me
@@elmerramirez1215 stay with commercial.. They gonna get you 40 plus every week … Residential is really for ppl that love to be outside
I get pay to sit at home when there is no jobs . Best job ever haha
Hvac or electrician
Right!
What
Dude, .... Your Title is full of BS...👎👎
😂
I currently work in the automotive field considering taking some classes for hvac I love automotive but it’s becoming increasingly more work for less and less pay
I strongly recommend it. HVAC is hard work but extremely rewarding
@@ShortyHVAChow easy is it to learn ?
