Please wear your "Wild-n-house" shirt to this session, all all day! Dan loved wild shirts. We'll have a simple celebration of his life.
This session will reveal the fundamental workforce skills that apprentices, new techs (and all techs) should master.
Based on workforce development programs that promise to provide "HVAC technicians in 4 weeks" !! Dan and I felt we needed to alter these outcomes to provide "HVAC technician apprentices in 4 weeks" So I'm fulfilling Dan's legacy, the "Wildenhaus" - join the session to see the details
• Non-Invasive Testing - Homer Simpson tests (warm/cool air at registers), airflow (with psychrometers, flow hood, TrueFlow Grid), static pressure profile including TESP, refrigerant charge via line temps
• Visual
Assessment: Walking Past the Obvious: Why Visual Assessment Is the Most Missed Diagnostic Step
• Identifying mechanical things: H and V and A/C or HP and Filtration and DHW and DEHU and Cooking - Oh my... (things me-can-control = mechanical)
• Homeowner communication: join to see the details
• Ventilation Check: join to see the details
• Duct, Duct, Goose: join to see the details
Learning Objectives:
By attending this session, attendees will:
Perform a structured homeowner interview and whole-home inspection and provide unique commentary on the conditions
Apply non-invasive airflow, static pressure, and refrigerant charge testing methods
Evaluate duct adequacy to determine if systems can deliver rated performance
