In this episode, we continue the journey toward performing a perfect HVAC maintenance — this time diving into the hands-on technical steps that truly make a difference. From checking system performance under load, testing electrical components and safety controls, to cleaning coils, burners, and drains the right way — we go beyond the quick-swipe maintenance that too many techs are taught.

We talk about:

What readings matter and why

How to identify early signs of failure before they become breakdowns

When to clean, when to adjust, and when to recommend repairs

How to communicate findings without “selling” — just being honest and professional

This episode is about precision, intentional work, and doing the job in a way that earns trust and builds your reputation. If you want your maintenance calls to mean something — this is where it happens.

In this episode, we kick off the first half of what it really takes to perform a perfect HVAC maintenance. Whether you're a seasoned tech or just stepping into the field, this breakdown covers the fundamentals that too many overlook. We talk about the mindset you walk in with, setting expectations with homeowners, documenting system conditions, and the why behind each step — not just the what.

From airflow checks to visual inspections, communication tips to professional habits that build trust and long-term customers — this is where great service begins. If your goal is to elevate your work from “good” to professional-grade, you’re in the right place.

Tune in, take notes, and be ready for Part 2 where we get into the hands-on technical deep dive.

In this episode of The HVAC Road Show, Ty gets personal — and practical — about the financial goals every technician should be setting and tracking throughout the year.

This isn’t about getting rich quick. It’s about using your trade to build real financial stability — and a future you’re proud of.
