In that time, you could earn a real engineering degree

Nigga, it does not take 4 years to learn how to fix an air conditioner

If you want to get into HVAC, go for an ME degree.

The 2 year degree is to fix the air conditioner

the BS isn't for fucking fixing air conditioners jesus christ you're retarded use your god damn head it's common sense

>adjusting PID controllers doesn't require calculus
It requires differential equations, which requires calculus. Anyone that says otherwise is memeing you.

>> No.1645570

I worked with these design engineers when I was in college. I ran the power plants they comissioned them. Be prepared to be grilled by the chief engineer and showing off a new plant to a bunch of people who have been actually running the stuff for like 20+ years of experience. Don't do this if you can't present things and are autistic like most of 4chan.

if you want to get into HVAC go get a fucking job at a HVAC company. AND THEN go to school for it. Alot of HVAC companies want experience, not some bullshit degree. the same goes for electrical and plumbing.

I get that OP is a faggot, but I still want to point out that tradesmen make more money than engineering technologists, there is more room for career advancement, and you waste less time in school. The question is are you willing to sacrifice earning potential so that you can work in an office instead of getting your hands dirty.

>no AC in 100y.o. house
>HVAC pro wants $9000 to install system
>do that shit myself for $3300 + $1400 in tools

Installing AC units can be learned watching youtube videos. The whole system of HVAC licensing is basically designed to prevent retards from venting refrigerant into the air, even though most modern refrigerants have an atmospheric half-life a fraction of CO2's (for example R-1234yf that is the new automobile standard only stays in the atmosphere for 10 days). Shit is not rocket science.
