Day in the Life of an AC Apprentice PT.1 First Day on the Job Maintenance on 80% Furnace

In this video, I am training one of the newest members to our team on an 80% Lennox furnace. He seems to be pretty sharp and hungry, so I think he’ll do well. We’re covering all the basic operations and checks for a fall maintenance. Including checking, temp rise, checking, volts and amps on motors, inspecting burner assembly, checking and cleaning flame sensor, inspecting ductwork, performing combustion analysis, inspecting blower assembly, checking static pressure, changing filters, and more! Let me know if you think in the comments below, and if you remember your first day in the field, and how it was. Thanks for watching!

These style of videos are greatly appreciated by newbies such as myself. Also cool seeing a return that looks like this cuz I'm used to the return boxes, haven't encountered a duct like the one this unit has.

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

Glad you enjoyed! Stay tuned should be a pretty busy summer, so a lot more content to come!

[@tchaikovskymaye6227]

Nice work your a good teacher

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

I appreciate that!

[@AlexisRobles-yf3mw]

Love these apprentice videos 🙏🙏 helping me a lot

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

Happy to help! And thanks for watching!

[@deanmartin1966]

He has a great teacher. I'd also point out the condensate drain. P trap looks too deep. Plus although they put the vent in the right spot, they capped it. So its basically useless. Good video.

[@HVACTechKnowledgy]

I appreciate that man! Good catch on the trap👍

[@angelvaldez8503]

[@user-pw1mc5gw2m]
