Introduction to Furnace Service

This is an introduction to the world of an HVAC Technician; what the boss expects of you, and what the customer expects of you. This class will introduce you to electricity, how it works, and how to follow it in a circuit. We will introduce you to multi-meters, manometers and how to use them. An introduction to the different wiring diagrams, relays, and controls and the assorted components in todays furnaces. We will teach you troubleshooting skills and take you through troubleshooting scenarios. We will teach you how to do basic ‘Start-ups’ on equipment and what a basic ‘Service Call’ looks like on an actual functioning furnace, and what to do on a maintenance call.

In the 2nd day we introduce you to the world of HVAC motors which includes the newest version of the ECM motor. The meter of the class is the Combustion Analyzer. We will show you how to use it and care for it. You will learn what the analyzer measures and what measurements you need to know.
