Accidentally became Youtuber
I would never consider myself to be a traditionally “handy” person.
- I’m very logical and I can figure a few things out here and there, but I am no home appliance expert.
Most of the time I manage to troubleshoot with the help of online tutorials and user forums, rather than my own insight or knowledge. Still, all these things considered, I recently started a whole youtube channel on home repair. It turns out that people would rather watch me fix things than figure it out through other means, and now I have over 100k followers. My biggest area of interest is home heating and cooling repairs. Apparently that is a huge problem area for most homeowners, because I’m constantly getting fan mail and user comments about new furnace and air conditioner issues. In fact, some might say I’m a certified heating, air conditioning, and ventilation expert at this point. It all started when I made a video about basic furnace maintenance service. I demonstrated the handful of routine heater services that should be completed every Spring and Fall, including changing out the air filter and cleaning up some of the internal components. After that video, the HVAC requests just kept rolling in. Soon I was repairing furnaces and air conditioners around the neighborhood so I could demonstrate how to troubleshoot a faulty AC unit, heater, or thermostat. I learned how to access and clean ductwork, and began to recreate major HVAC failures and their subsequent system repairs. At this point, I’m beginning to learn how to complete full heating and cooling system installations for my youtube channel. So much for not being “handy…”
