HVAC-R 101
Tessa Nguyen is 20, an HVAC-R student who rides along with a Fort Worth service company on Saturdays — a fictional company, a real ladder. She carries the vacuum pump, reads the nameplates, and writes down every word she doesn't know. She wants her own truck. You'll follow along through four acts and build your own versions as you go.
Next on the ladder: HVAC-R 202 · the work, the tools, and the money · and the T3 office, when you choose a mentor.
The gate is open and the plan is set. The acts themselves — lessons, practice, guides, and narration — are in the Forge now, and each will be reviewed by an EPA-certified HVAC-R professional before it opens. Nothing you click here is stored or sent anywhere.
