Just so you know, for months upon months my son (4 now) has been watching your videos, memorizing as much as he can, and then re-enacting it with household objects. He recites your videos by heart, often. During online video call for classes, if teacher asks him a question oftentimes he answers then starts taking about repairing air conditioners. He was obsessed with air conditioners since he was much younger, and we used to go on hours long walks where he would stand on the street and check if the neighbours' A/Cs were running or not, and he would cry if it was off sometimes. So he thinks of you as a hero / teacher.
That is so awesome!!!!! I love it!! I really appreciate my little fan and you for sharing this with me 😄😄 I have a 3 year old and can imagine what that would be like. I would like to send him a note in the mail and perhaps some kid friendly tool gift. If you would be okay with that, please send me your address to WordofAdviceTV@gmail.com
I believe it! Kids have incredible minds that can fixate on anything at that age; and they are capable of repeating data that is way beyond an adult’s desire to retain! You go, Moni!!! Thanks, Jay, for encouraging such a young fan! Heroes don’t always wear capes or stethoscopes - sometimes, they wear tool belts and/or carry multimeters, and make educational videos!!!
I just want everyone to know that this dude and his videos helped me fix my air conditioner 4 times. And I'm talking about replacing the motherboard to replacing the blower fan..

I can vouch for this dude. He knows what he’s talking about. Also he explains it very well unlike some people who wanna act like they know everything. Good job man!!
I'm 41 got my Universal at Votech. 1st HVAC job getting my own Van for service! I'm older for a new Tech, but I'm learning alot from you. You should be an Instructor at Votech! I was a Boiler Operator and a Maintenance Mechanic in a Building. I hope I can be a HVAC this is my Dream Job! Moving up the Ladder from Boiler Operator - Maintenance Mechanic - HVAC Tech! This is the top of the mountain for me. Thank you Man!
WELL WORTH THE TIME! This is the most intelligent, understandable, and thorough description of an HVAC, or ANY system I have ever seen. You are easy to listen to because your pace is good, you speak clearly, and there's no wasted time - better than 99% of the people I've heard giving talks or speeches. I also like your occasional stories that add a little depth of understanding and variety. The look on your face shows that you like what you do which makes your video more engaging. All this adds up to very strong public speaking skills! You also seem to have a deep understanding of these systems so if you were trying to solve a problem with my HVAC, I know you could (and would!) actually ANALYZE the situation to understand what's going on instead of just giving a "textbook" answer. One of the VERY few UA-cam videos over 30 minutes that is actually worth the time to watch! Looking forward to checking out some of your other stuff.
I know this video is old but I just wanted to tell you, you are an amazing teacher. I am in HVAC school and needed help applying real world stuff to understand the refrigeration cycle. compared to textbook images this video guide is amazing. It really helps me understand where the parts are and what they do. No matter were you are I wish you the best. Thank you
I'm 17 heading into my second year of HVACR schooling provided by my highschool and the biggest shock to me was the fact that other technical schools didn't learn about heat pumps until the second year because you can learn so much about the ac through learning about a heat pump
Every instructional YT vid should be this detailed & clear. I was a very successful university communication instructor & find almost all how-to YT vids on all topics to be seriously inadequate &/or flawed to the point of uselessness (particularly when it comes to troubleshooting & diagnosis). You are a gifted teacher which is quite a rarity. Do NOT worry that you're going off on side topics - it's better than leaving out something important. The inserted text is a great way to optionally dive deeper - EXCELLENT job!
You are one of those who knows what he says, demonstrates pedagogy to teach and you do not leave any detail in the air because you are a true professional. Congratulations
@@dersturmerofjewery6038female *dispatcher* still props for her being here in the first place. I'd imagine getting calls and sending workers to jobs you have no idea about must get tiring.
As a generalist contractor / low voltage guy who just wanted to fix his own AC: thank you, this was all quite helpful, ESPECIALLY the 'pause the screen' more detailed explanation bits. Before, I did not understand why capacitors were needed for common HVAC motors. Now I understand how they are used to take single-phase AC to give dual-phase to a motor and why a motor won't run if the capacitor dies.
Thanks Jay for great videos. I had a technician came and diagnosed my AC and said I need new one. I watched your videos and did my own testing and found out it is the condenser fan. Called the company back and they replaced my fan and back in business. You saved me $4500!!!!!!. Thank you!!!!!
lol tried ripping you off, no reason a tech shouldn't find that problem withing minutes. had to be awk for the "tech" to come back out. (awk for the guy not you )
I work in UK as building services Engineer, the one I come across are FC UNIT AND AHU something a bit different, however in one place or contract I took, there were Hitachi Airconditioners on the walls and there were many in different parts of the building and let us say some of them let us say around 10 of them in different places were connected to a single unite on the roof which was I suppose Condensors, I was pretty confused I thought since it is only one compressor from the top of the building for each system [ Each one had around ten Hitachis] Let us say system one had ten hitachi on the walls in different parts of the build and that sysem one only had one condensor on the roof, so how does it work for so many of them in the industrial buildings???? In the case of FC And AHU they use a very different kind of system which I work on. I mean after the expension valve are there different evoporter coild in each hitachi for a single system in which there are ten hitachi connnected to a single condensors etc on the roof, if you can explaine this it will really sort out allot of problem for me. Most of the JOB I do are BMS and FC AND Ahu and electrical stuff which I understand them all but this one is a bit confusing for me if you can explaine it a bit???
I just started working at a HVAC parts supply store and your videos have really helped me to understand all the different parts and what they do. Thanks so much for making these videos! You explain it so well :)
This bro all about honesty!!! Some guy don't give the right info just basic and when we start doing it and we get stick halfway and don't know how to finish the job...
When pulling your disconnect; be sure to keep it oriented the right way. Sometimes, if flipped, it won't make contact when you push it back in once ready to fire it back up. Great video btw!
Im a maintenance tech and ive been learning hvac and want to get certified soon. Ive subscribed to you. This was super informative. Thanks. Ps all interior locking doorknobs that ive ever seen have a small hole on the outside, the locked out side that is. All you've got to do is stick a small screw driver or wire hanger or anything thatll fit really and you can turn the lock like a key. I think they make that for those type of situations. You can easily pop the lock with just about anything that will fit in there but a very small flathead works the best.
Yeah I agree. I have been trying to figure out what the heck is a heat pump and still could not understand that is until today. Thank you so much. At least I know now.
This guy is great. His explanations are not only informative, but explained simple enough terms that a regular guy like me can understand. His videos helped me fix my A/C and saved me a ton of money in repair costs. So helpful. Thanks much!!!
Thank you so much bro , I already got certified in high school but we got let off easy now I’m in college trying to get certified again I really needed this 🙏🏿
hi Jay, I’ve watched several videos from you that’s warming up what I forgets 3 years of CPCC in Charlotte including electrical and plumbing and A/C that 15 years ago and you’re the honest A/C videos speaker and easy to understand in your way. Thanks a lots Jay.
I’m starting school this fall and just watching these as a little prep and you’ve helped me so much with understanding a lot, I know this will give me a great start in learning this in school. Thanks a lot! Much appreciated.
very good explanation, im trying to learn about HVAC and wanting to get into the trade. This is one of the best cut and dry videos ive found for beginner information, thanks!
I’m a new owner of a house which has an old and complicated HVAC system. I was so overwhelmed because I was clueless about what HVAC was, until I watched this video. It is so educational and well explained, and he did a great job making it personal and relatable for this type of presentation which usually can be dry and technical. Thank you!
Thanks for the explanation, my AC was stop running, checked the fuse and CB all good, thanks to your hint about 24 volts from furnace, I found my furnace power plug had bad contact. Reseating the power plug fixed my AC!!!!!! easy fix but many people may not know of it.
This was the most helpful video ever! I work in hvac ordering parts for techs and this is so helpful with understanding what I’m ordering and making sure it’s the right parts
Thank you for putting out this video. I've just started dispatch with an HVAC company . Your explanations and the written portions brought clarity to the questions I've been told to ask the customers. Yes, I have a great team of techs to ask, but without actually seeing the unit, I didn't quite know what they were talking about. I will be more confident going in tomorrow with the information I've learned from you.
I'm close to retired, three more years, I'm a DYI kind of person always like to learn and be help full to others, many likes for this video and this young man, excellent video, he not only has the knowledge he has a gift on how to explain all about HVAC , thank you for share and wishing you all the luck in your work and personal live.
Excellent video. I would just like to mention when/if securing slack wires to fan gaurd, take a piece of schedule 80 pvc pipe, cut a channel along its side end to end, plus a few perforations for good drainage... so you can sheath the wires. Then finally fasten the pipe to the fan guard. Preventing anyone suffering a short in the electrical. That was all. Thanx again for all your time and educations.
Excellent video. I love how he explains everything and that you can understand . Neat guy. I watch this video over and over. Sometimes I catch something I missed before. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate you.
Thanks Man! I just got my 1st HVAC job, I'm getting my own Van for service. I used to be a boiler operator, and then I was a maintenance mechanic. Then I got my universal at Votech. I'm 41 years old. I hope I can do this at my age! Wish me luck Man!
Seriously, you are among the most informative individual on the tube. I was just charged $406 for replacing a starter on the conditioner unit. I feel like I was punched in the stomach. I’m about to write this company a complaint and your video helped me understand how the unit worked and provided me with the information to compose something that makes sense.
Very thankful for all the information in every video you've done that I've watched (and even the one's I'm sure I'll watch at some point in life.) Has saved me time and money working on my Furnace the last two years and now the same with my AC. And I'm a very low-skilled low-experienced homeowner when it comes to these things (or at least I used to be.)
Fantastic video, I'm new to the industry with a training certification in my state and this video is really helping me learn. I really appreciate the written explanations too, I'm taking notes with your video and having all that to write down and refer to later helps me learn. Thanks again!
just watching your videos I was able to fix my units , replaced rescue fan motor to original including new blade , capacitor, whoever pro installed it before did a terrible job, left all wires uncovered and hanging like his ballz, thank you for explaining everything, anyone who knows how to hold tools and have understanding is able to keep ac running long time
Glad I continued my UA-cam search for a/c info and finally found you. I did the wiring video and because you are so-o-o-o good at explaining in simple and straightforward language and diction I was compelled to watch your 'All AC Parts and what they do' video - which only further convinced me of your ability, knowledge and talent to make the subject very informative, interesting and entertaining - that was a great story of the refrigerant 3 point valve, - if that didn't give us all pause to check and double check, I don't know what will?? Great job, and many thanks for imparting your knowledge so clearly and effectively.
Why is the discharge line insulated in a heat pump? It doesn't have to be. You want heat removed from the discharge line! You would not insulate it. In a heat pump, the large line becomes the discharge line and you do want it insulated as it is carrying hot gas for heating to the indoor coil.
That’s not true. The discharge line (actually called liquid line) is not insulated in a heat pump. The insulated suction line becomes the hot gas line in heating mode.
Can you do a video on adding a can of dryer/sealant, then adding the R22 to a heat pump please. You do a awesome job explaining everything. Very clear and understandable. Thank you very much for taking the time making these. You are #1!
Thank you Darren! Being that there are EPA regulations on handling refrigerant, I have purposely avoided making videos on that topic... They may get my channel in trouble. The possible fines are pretty hefty so unfortunately at this time I prefer not to make a video like that, sorry.
The red plug next to the evap A coil drain tray is what brought me here... wasn’t discussed but I’m assuming it’s an extra drain port for that tray.!.!.!. Loved the video!
This guy speaks so clearly and relatable. Im really enjoying this video. Im not an engineer and work in the office scheduling serving and really want to learn this.
Still doing hvac? If so how’s the journey? I’m a hotel maintenance tech at 19, thinking about jumping to hvac apprentice as now I have a general knowledge in all trades
@@Rittercards depends on your area to be honest. Some places do more with heating than cooling. All regions in the states also use various types of different systems. I'm in Nevada. We use heat pumps, or straight cool with furnace. Some apartments communities even use heated water heating systems. Anyway, I myself haven't worked straight hvac actually. In my area, companies will hire for the season and can tend to lay people off during the winter since there's less work. I work in apartment maintenance, it's more steady people say, but you'll def want to have all your trades brushed up. In a day you might run the gambit of doing plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc... But knowing hvac and having your epa cert can open a lot of doors for you. I actually was out of trades for some time, and after recently being laid off I jumped back into it. There's always high demand for maintenance people in las vegas where I'm at. As time passes you can earn a decent living, and you'll have a skill that's always in demand. Also, soke of the most coveted jobs are commercial for sure. You go service restaurants or stuff like that and doing commercial means you won't have to be in attics or deal with the elements as much. Anyway, getting your epa is good cos it doesn't expire, so you can explore the field and see what strikes your fancy.
I can't explain how glad I am that I found this video. I begin a 30 day hands on HVAC course in mid August and tbh I'm nervous I won't understand it. The visuals you used for the compressor were extremely helpful! I will definitely be watching more of your videos. Thank you!
@@JoseFlores-bc3cf Tennessee...and wow 2 years ago! I'm a full blown residential HVAC Tech now. Cracks me up seing me talk about compressor diagnostics (I've replaced multiple at this point).
@Der Sturmer Of Jewery I'd say in general tradeschool whether it be in person or online only teaches the bare minimum. You learn WAY more in the feild via muscle memory.
Great informative video sir!!! Thank you!!! But the HVAC license and Accounting degree blew me away!!! You sound like you have a great head on your shoulders sir.
Nice presentation you did great I'm not critiquing you but you will want to note in the future to check for power after you have pulled the disconnect theoretically and often times they have a jumped leg instead of replacing the disconnect have noticed many occasion where they burned leg was jumped again you did a great job you have a lot of viewers if someone's in August they could miss that
This helps me out a great deal. I'm starting a job with an HVAC company and have only delt with water, sewer, and gas. Never messed with electricity or anything HVAC. So this really helps. Any beginner videos here or advice I can get would be helpful.
Great video!!! I just stared working for a AC company as “runner” ( getting the installers the systems and supplies) and your explanation will me comunícate them a lot more easier.
FYI: I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, some newer units install the reversing valve for heat pump units between the exterior cover and the coils. Meaning just because you do not see the reversing valve where the video indicated doesn't mean it's not a heat pump.
Thanks alot.I got out of the maintenance thing for awhile but watching you brought back all the HVAC memories and explained them easily.Your great keep up the great work and your videos.
Broooooo you helped me so much with this video i’m about to be in my last semester of HVAC school and still a little foggy on the components but this video helped me a lot I took a lot of notes

You can easily pop the lock with just about anything that will fit in there but a very small flathead works the best.
This Guy’s video is Amazing! He is very detailed without being wordy. Straight and to the point! Wish he was in Arizona to do my servicing
My company is based in Arizona, if you want you should give us a call, message me here first!
This was so helpful and much appreciated. I am currently studying HVAC, and this has simplified things for me. Keep it up the great work!
Thank you for proving that idiots do this kind of work.
You’re the man. Thank you so much. 23:12 heat pump vs AC best explanation I’ve heard. Thank you!
Much appreciated Gzzz this video probably helped a lot of dudes out 2 years of hvac n I learned more in this video than that time waisted... salute
Yeah I agree. I have been trying to figure out what the heck is a heat pump and still could not understand that is until today. Thank you so much. At least I know now.
This video helped out a lot. I'm trying to get into the HVAC career path and this is helping so much. Thank you!
This guy is great. His explanations are not only informative, but explained simple enough terms that a regular guy like me can understand. His videos helped me fix my A/C and saved me a ton of money in repair costs. So helpful. Thanks much!!!
I'm no
Thank you so much bro , I already got certified in high school but we got let off easy now I’m in college trying to get certified again I really needed this 🙏🏿
hi Jay, I’ve watched several videos from you that’s warming up what I forgets 3 years of CPCC in Charlotte including electrical and plumbing and A/C that 15 years ago and you’re the honest A/C videos speaker and easy to understand in your way. Thanks a lots Jay.
I was so confused with this system. I wasn’t sure if my furnace was combined with the AC, and thanks to this video, I 100% understand now! THANK YOU!
I’m starting school this fall and just watching these as a little prep and you’ve helped me so much with understanding a lot, I know this will give me a great start in learning this in school. Thanks a lot! Much appreciated.
Good luck dude! You’re gonna be way ahead of everyone else in your class!
@@ZackAschliman Thanks man, appreciate it!
I'm starting my new career as well in tech school this year as well!! And yes.. great video
What state ?
very good explanation, im trying to learn about HVAC and wanting to get into the trade.
This is one of the best cut and dry videos ive found for beginner information, thanks!
I’m a new owner of a house which has an old and complicated HVAC system. I was so overwhelmed because I was clueless about what HVAC was, until I watched this video. It is so educational and well explained, and he did a great job making it personal and relatable for this type of presentation which usually can be dry and technical. Thank you!
Thanks for the explanation, my AC was stop running, checked the fuse and CB all good, thanks to your hint about 24 volts from furnace, I found my furnace power plug had bad contact. Reseating the power plug fixed my AC!!!!!! easy fix but many people may not know of it.
I'm in school for this, and you explain it better than my instructors. Thank you so much.
This was the most helpful video ever! I work in hvac ordering parts for techs and this is so helpful with understanding what I’m ordering and making sure it’s the right parts
Man you are extremely effective at teaching , extremely useful information here , u have many peoples gratitude including myself. 👏🏽
I am agree with you
He is the best .
I think the quarter million subscribers and millions of views speak more toward his legitimacy than your random vouching 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for all you do, especially someone like me that started this new journey, at 32. Don’t nothing almost. Keep doing these videos.
Thank you for putting out this video. I've just started dispatch with an HVAC company . Your explanations and the written portions brought clarity to the questions I've been told to ask the customers. Yes, I have a great team of techs to ask, but without actually seeing the unit, I didn't quite know what they were talking about. I will be more confident going in tomorrow with the information I've learned from you.
I cannot beleive I found this amazing video with understandable yet thorough explanations on only my second try. subscribed, great video
man this guy is teaching me so much a couple months before school thanks man
New dad and stated hvac school. Thank you for your help. Also, the door trick might come in hand one day with my son.
i'm an Hvac student as of now and this videos of yours is so helpful.. love it.. thanks man.. please continue making videos.
where what state? i have 1 month in
I repeatedly watch every video I come across you make thank you I feel very confident
I'm close to retired, three more years, I'm a DYI kind of person always like to learn and be help full to others, many likes for this video and this young man, excellent video, he not only has the knowledge he has a gift on how to explain all about HVAC , thank you for share and wishing you all the luck in your work and personal live.
Excellent video. I would just like to mention when/if securing slack wires to fan gaurd, take a piece of schedule 80 pvc pipe, cut a channel along its side end to end, plus a few perforations for good drainage... so you can sheath the wires. Then finally fasten the pipe to the fan guard. Preventing anyone suffering a short in the electrical. That was all. Thanx again for all your time and educations.
Your furnace video helped me in school, this videos helping refresh what I learned and kind of forgot. Thank you!
I stopped at 9 minutes just to say thank you for explaining things the way you do, so easy to understand
This is really great.
A complete video on how to replace your complete AC unit will be very useful.
Thanks again for this wonderful tutorial.
Excellent video. I love how he explains everything and that you can understand . Neat guy. I watch this video over and over. Sometimes I catch something I missed before. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I appreciate you.
Thanks Man! I just got my 1st HVAC job, I'm getting my own Van for service. I used to be a boiler operator, and then I was a maintenance mechanic. Then I got my universal at Votech. I'm 41 years old. I hope I can do this at my age! Wish me luck Man!
hows it going, what state are u working out of? and what website did you get your certs?
You got this 🎉
@@JoseFlores-bc3cf I'm in New Jersey. I got my cert at Votech. I'm good working in facilities now at a university.
How is it going man
@@scott331224 All good im still in Facilities HVAC is a big part.
Seriously, you are among the most informative individual on the tube. I was just charged $406 for replacing a starter on the conditioner unit. I feel like I was punched in the stomach. I’m about to write this company a complaint and your video helped me understand how the unit worked and provided me with the information to compose something that makes sense.
This is seriously the best A/c explanation video on UA-cam!!!!!! Thank you so much!
Very thankful for all the information in every video you've done that I've watched (and even the one's I'm sure I'll watch at some point in life.) Has saved me time and money working on my Furnace the last two years and now the same with my AC. And I'm a very low-skilled low-experienced homeowner when it comes to these things (or at least I used to be.)
One of the most excellent hvac videos. Clear and concise
Dude is very talented.. Great communicator ... Easy to understand.. Keep up the good work..
Fantastic video, I'm new to the industry with a training certification in my state and this video is really helping me learn. I really appreciate the written explanations too, I'm taking notes with your video and having all that to write down and refer to later helps me learn. Thanks again!
Glad to hear the videos are helping you! :) Thank you for leaving a comment, good luck with your career!!
just watching your videos I was able to fix my units , replaced rescue fan motor to original including new blade , capacitor, whoever pro installed it before did a terrible job, left all wires uncovered and hanging like his ballz, thank you for explaining everything, anyone who knows how to hold tools and have understanding is able to keep ac running long time
I start HVAC school next week and I really appreciate the familiarization you're providing before hand!
Hey Mike how’s hvac school going? I start school Monday.
@@joshuacohoon4742 outaa where? i want to do domething in A/c too
@@JoseFlores-bc3cf Madisonville ky. I started couple weeks ago. I really like it
Your comments about zip tying the wires saved me from having to call a repair man. Thank you so much!!!!!
Your a great teacher, I just started in maintenance I’ve never done any maintenance but I’ll definitely be learning as much as I can from your channel
Glad I continued my UA-cam search for a/c info and finally found you. I did the wiring video and because you are so-o-o-o good at explaining in simple and straightforward language and diction I was compelled to watch your 'All AC Parts and what they do' video - which only further convinced me of your ability, knowledge and talent to make the subject very informative, interesting and entertaining - that was a great story of the refrigerant 3 point valve, - if that didn't give us all pause to check and double check, I don't know what will?? Great job, and many thanks for imparting your knowledge so clearly and effectively.
what state malcolm?
I'd just like to add that the discharge line will also be insulated if it's for a heat pump. As usual: excellent video! Thank you so much!
Why is the discharge line insulated in a heat pump? It doesn't have to be. You want heat removed from the discharge line! You would not insulate it. In a heat pump, the large line becomes the discharge line and you do want it insulated as it is carrying hot gas for heating to the indoor coil.
That’s not true. The discharge line (actually called liquid line) is not insulated in a heat pump. The insulated suction line becomes the hot gas line in heating mode.
It is time for me to get a certificate of accomplishment from this guy. I knew from the first video I would graduate here. Thanks indeed.
Can you do a video on adding a can of dryer/sealant, then adding the R22 to a heat pump please. You do a awesome job explaining everything. Very clear and understandable. Thank you very much for taking the time making these. You are #1!
Thank you Darren! Being that there are EPA regulations on handling refrigerant, I have purposely avoided making videos on that topic... They may get my channel in trouble. The possible fines are pretty hefty so unfortunately at this time I prefer not to make a video like that, sorry.
The red plug next to the evap A coil drain tray is what brought me here... wasn’t discussed but I’m assuming it’s an extra drain port for that tray.!.!.!. Loved the video!
I am from India, and let me tell you, seriously, your video's are worth watching, I would give up anything just to watch your video's. Thanks so much.
You're welcome! I'm happy to hear that my videos are worth watching! Thank you for spending your time on my channel and leaving a comment!
You sir, are a natural born teacher...
This guy speaks so clearly and relatable. Im really enjoying this video. Im not an engineer and work in the office scheduling serving and really want to learn this.
I’m 16 and learning to take over my dads company with my brother when we’re older, so we need this help
You're a life savor now I can confidently work on my ac myself... thank you 🤝
I’m 3 months in as an apprentice. Really useful tips here and covering each term and explaining it thoroughly! Awesome job thank you man 👍😃
Still doing hvac? If so how’s the journey? I’m a hotel maintenance tech at 19, thinking about jumping to hvac apprentice as now I have a general knowledge in all trades
@@Rittercards depends on your area to be honest. Some places do more with heating than cooling. All regions in the states also use various types of different systems.
I'm in Nevada. We use heat pumps, or straight cool with furnace. Some apartments communities even use heated water heating systems.
Anyway, I myself haven't worked straight hvac actually. In my area, companies will hire for the season and can tend to lay people off during the winter since there's less work.
I work in apartment maintenance, it's more steady people say, but you'll def want to have all your trades brushed up.
In a day you might run the gambit of doing plumbing, electrical, hvac, etc...
But knowing hvac and having your epa cert can open a lot of doors for you.
I actually was out of trades for some time, and after recently being laid off I jumped back into it. There's always high demand for maintenance people in las vegas where I'm at.
As time passes you can earn a decent living, and you'll have a skill that's always in demand.
Also, soke of the most coveted jobs are commercial for sure.
You go service restaurants or stuff like that and doing commercial means you won't have to be in attics or deal with the elements as much.
Anyway, getting your epa is good cos it doesn't expire, so you can explore the field and see what strikes your fancy.
I’m now a year and 3 months in 👍 loving the trade and learning so much every day. A lot of useful skills in everyday life 💯
Thank you for showing us what are the Ace components and how they work.
I start school in August, and your channel is so fun to watch. It makes me so excited to start school. Any ways I can get a head start I’m learning?
YOU are a great teacher my friend ! Your teaching really educates me thank you so much for your valuable lesson my friend!!!
I can't explain how glad I am that I found this video. I begin a 30 day hands on HVAC course in mid August and tbh I'm nervous I won't understand it. The visuals you used for the compressor were extremely helpful! I will definitely be watching more of your videos. Thank you!
what state out of?
@@JoseFlores-bc3cf Tennessee...and wow 2 years ago! I'm a full blown residential HVAC Tech now. Cracks me up seing me talk about compressor diagnostics (I've replaced multiple at this point).
I'm do hvac online thoughts? California
@Der Sturmer Of Jewery I'd say in general tradeschool whether it be in person or online only teaches the bare minimum.
You learn WAY more in the feild via muscle memory.
Great informative video sir!!! Thank you!!!
But the HVAC license and Accounting degree blew me away!!! You sound like you have a great head on your shoulders sir.
I love your teaching style. You make it easy to understand. It is funny that your outside system is just as dirty as most of ours. :)
Nice presentation you did great I'm not critiquing you but you will want to note in the future to check for power after you have pulled the disconnect theoretically and often times they have a jumped leg instead of replacing the disconnect have noticed many occasion where they burned leg was jumped again you did a great job you have a lot of viewers if someone's in August they could miss that
Talk to text change things in August should have said a novice it could be a novice in August
This man seems to really care about what he does. Awesome and informative video!
This helps me out a great deal. I'm starting a job with an HVAC company and have only delt with water, sewer, and gas. Never messed with electricity or anything HVAC. So this really helps. Any beginner videos here or advice I can get would be helpful.
Great video!!! I just stared working for a AC company as “runner” ( getting the installers the systems and supplies) and your explanation will me comunícate them a lot more easier.
Glad I could help with that! :) May you move up the career ladder swiftly!
sigues ahi? still working A/C where ehat state?
@@JoseFlores-bc3cf Miami,Florida.
Well done! This is the best video on the subject that I've ever seen. Thanks for posting it. Very informative and helpful!
FYI: I'm not sure if this was already mentioned, some newer units install the reversing valve for heat pump units between the exterior cover and the coils. Meaning just because you do not see the reversing valve where the video indicated doesn't mean it's not a heat pump.
Thanks alot.I got out of the maintenance thing for awhile but watching you brought back all the HVAC memories and explained them easily.Your great keep up the great work and your videos.
That's a great explanation of a capacitor and what it does.
A very good instructional video! One of the best I've seen and listened to for a detailed description of components!
Excellent explanation of sequential hvac operations, very helpful to beginners.
Broooooo you helped me so much with this video i’m about to be in my last semester of HVAC school and still a little foggy on the components but this video helped me a lot I took a lot of notes
Great video man! Your videos helped me a lot with minimum troubleshooting and maintenance of hvac in hospitality
Glad to hear the videos are helpful! Thank you for watching and commenting!
