You forget we 'engineers' had to take 42 credit hours of just pure sciences - physics, chemistry, mathematics, mechanical engineering courses (statics and dynamics), thermodynamics, electives, etc. , and that's NOT even including our major and it's way harder than HVAC school. That would take 1...

I had three HVAC guys come out to fix a short cycling gas furnace issue in Jan. First two couldn't figure it out. The first guy LITERALLY DISCONNECTED the inducer start capacitor almost right in front of me. "Oh here's one issue, your inducer is starting super slow." Me: "Is the start capacitor...
