Niccas in here on some hvac aw shyt
my nicca them gotdamn theories will have u either stuck like chuck or truly intrigued. I was both for a long while. Shyt is so mf cool and the tools make u elite when get it. Like breh breh said learn that superheat and subcooling, learn how to measure gas pressure by the water column, CHECK AIRFLOW BEFORE U CHECK REFRIGERANT. Get the theory on analog gauges hold off on the digis til after u get it FULLY. EPA cert is good when u get ready to buy your own refrigerants that’s for later.
Get your NATE cert now
FIELDPIECE and MILWAUKEE tools nicca ftw be the best

So the OSHA cert is fugazi?

How much of a difference does it potentially make in earnings when negotiating a salary, vs. not having it ?

I was told in prison multiple times the 30 costs like $1200 to take. True or nah? Thanks for the input too







I'll Google it myself but lmk what the benefits / purposes for being NATE certified are if u can b. I'm good on superheat/subcooling/w c. and manifolds already though but I'm def gonna tighten up on it

OSHA is a requirement for most job / construction sites. Everyone’s big on safety and it’s a liability issue for someone to not have safety certs...Idk about costs, our union takes care of all our certs.

Idk what Nate a certificate is but we go off type 1, type 2, universal certs. A, B, and C cards

Ok but you can still apply your electronic knowledge at a WasteWater plant right?

I see job ads online all the time for Instrumentation, PLC, and Controls Technicians at Water plants

nah breh, Home Depot. I've also done some finish carpentry and literally every journeyman I've worked with swears by em and their quality

I've got an impact drill and regular drill and you can tell the difference

 

[Jim Cornette]

Nice. That's my goal. Does Instrumentation work with PLC's like Electricians do?

yeah instrumentation electricans work with PLC's a lot more than regular electricians actually...

like I have over 10+ years in the game as a regular electrican but have zero knowledge on PLC's.

really depends on the companies you work for tbh... if you work for a company who doesn't deal with them, then obviously you aren't gonna get experience with them.

wish I did know about them tho, a lot of good paying jobs require knowledge on PLC's and programming
