My experience with the HVAC equipment test
The upcoming test was a crucial contributor to my overall performance.
I had done my best to study, but I could still feel the nerves curling up in the pit of my stomach.
I was in my last year of the training school for HVAC technicians, and my goal was to work in the most successful HVAC company in the country. Since my brother was also in the same field, working as an HVAC repairman, I would accompany him on field jobs such as furnace/heater repairs or installations of HVAC equipment such as the heat pump. There I would practice jotting down, in theory, the processes I observed practically. I would then go home and continue studying quality heating. I also had a waitress job to help pay for school. sometimes, I would be exhausted. My family members quizzed me on questions such as changing the furnace filters or the different types of HVAC systems like the furnace. The night before the test, I could not sleep. I kept tossing and turning in bed. After a while, I woke up and decided to study. I was woken up by knocking on my bedroom door. I had drooled all over my computer. Sitting in the exam room with the test in front of me, I could hardly remember anything I had read. The first question was about ways you can offer help with indoor comfort to a customer with a broken system. I took deep breaths, and after a few minutes, my nerves calmed down, and I started carefully answering the questions. The test went well, apart from the HVAC maintenance question, which included outlining the steps in a heat pump service. I knew more about heating from all my studies.
