    Can’t stop listening since I found this
    As a newer tech to the field this podcast has helped me. As I work I listen to to this and have actually passed on to management to tell other tech just to listen. This is great keep it up!

    Second to none
    I am really grateful for the positive and humorous approach Brian and his guests take to expanding on the HVAC field. I’ve got them playing in my ear a lot of the time while I’m thinking through service calls. Excellent information about doing things right and avoiding inevitable headaches.

    New tech
    I am a new tech and trying to learn all this at once is hard. Love the podcasts cause I can replay them over and over to help me remember everything while I am doing window time.

    What an incredible free, learning resource!
    These podcasts are always fun to listen to and hugely informative. Brian is just so pleasant to listen to. He couldn't be a better presenter for these podcasts.

    Fantastic teacher!
    I’m not in HVAC was just looking to learn a little more about electrical and this podcast has been amazing for that. He’s a great teacher even without the visuals.

    Good Drive Listening
    For any level of Tech Old or Young New or Old to the trade All need to listen to help keep up to date with the latest industry Information as well as keep knowing what you definitely forgot to remember in the first place…I know I definitely forgot a few important things… Thanks Bryan for being a leading voice of an ever changing industry

    3 out of 5 stars, would not change a thing!
    Ok that’s an inside joke! I am a one man show in oregon who loves knowledge. This podcast is fun, engaging and best of all it has provided me more real-time knowledge. and Make me truly think. Learning things i never new. Relearning things i’ve became complacent in. the tips, the people this podcast i feel has linked together in the industry is huge. seriously amazing work. Never give up, don’t settle for less than the best for you, the work you do or the value you hold in yourself. this podcast won’t disappoint weather you are coming up in the trade or even a seasoned pro or somewhere in between.

    Thank you.
    This one goes in the top 10%. Is the video or PowerPoint presentation available to help with training.
  • NCMikeyG
    Thank you
    Thank you for this podcast. I listen to it every time I’m in the car going anywhere. Currently in a class for hvacr and between the class and this podcast I have realized how poorly I was trained by the company I used to work for. I am gaining deeper knowledge of the entire trade and more avenues that I would like to take in the trade. Thank you Bryan for being a mentor and an example to follow. God bless you.

    Even a non HVAC guy can listen
    Ok, I’m one of those maker/diy types that like to learn about basically everything, and this is THE podcast to learn about all things HVAC. I’ve leaned so much, even with 80% going right over my head. Getting acquainted with some of the terminology and fundamentals is interesting and likely helpful when I build my new house and have equipment that will eventually break down. Brian is world class.

    He danced around the chemical name but he was talking about Teflon…. They have to go back to ww2 blood draws to not find that chemical in the blood of people. There’s a documentary about teflon on how DuPont was dumping it into the river system and the birth defects, cancers in the workers.

    It’s just great!!!
    I still remember the day I found out about this podcast, it was 2017. I had recently started working for the company that opened the doors for me to this awesome trade. I can say I learned a ton from Bryan and his guests, from Erick Kaiser, Eric Mele, Trevor Mathew’s, Ty Branaman, Genry García etc. It’s hard to mention them all. If you are just starting your journey to this trade this is the best source to get educated. Thank you Bryan and thanks to all the guests that take the time to participate.
  • Zaphoid's cousin

    Great podcast.
    Love the podcast. Would like to see more technical discussions and less of the basics. Also would love to hear more on Market refrigeration and commercial refrigeration.
  • Tiggibrar

    Thank you Bryan, re visiting all episodes, great resource for technicians. Delighted that you have quoted Douglas Adams. I thought I was the only one.
  • BluFox3
    Hit and Miss
    It’s not bad. There is some really good stuff contained within these talks. The problem is that it’s becoming harder and harder to find the gems within the ‘cast as a whole with so many fluff episodes. I would recommend this to someone who’s running an HVAC business, but for the boots on the ground tech? Not really.
  • Big daddy popcorn Mike
    Let me in on the conversation if you please get some questions
    I’ve been doing eating eating heat ventilation and air-conditioning for 18 years plus recently a electrical company came in and did a pressure test for the duck work and the pressures are way off now they didn’t tape up none of the registers the supply they didn’t seal up the return was like a piece of cardboard in the hole cutting it with the flex running through it they weren’t 15 feet off the measurements were wrong the other the readings were off the charts so I will leave that all they did it incorrectly and there’s anyway I can join podcast and get down on it with you let me in I got some questions fellas
  • HVAC4Jesus

  • ednomx1
    Great podcast with awesome tips!!
    This podcast is one of the best HVAC podcasts I’ve listened to! They put tons of practical and theoretical information. I’ve been in this field for 15years and I’m still surprised by how little I know when I listen to this podcast!

    Just getting into HVAC a couple of friends who are plumbers recommended this podcast and youtube channel. I am super interested now having listened to a few to get into this field.
  • Dan O'Doyle
    Great HVAC material for anyone who would like to keep learning!
    If you are looking to continue learning about the basics and to keep up with new technologies in the HVAC/R trade, this podcast will be beneficial for you. The facilitator, Bryan Orr, combines knowledge with some humor, and teaches on a wide array of topics in the field, while often including others who offer their expertise and experiences.
  • Springdalesam
    Well made podcast
    This is the gold standard for HVAC podcasts.
  • Bucksh0t51
    Great for all skill levels
    This podcast is great! I’ve been in the field for 11 years and once I found this I listen while I’m working. Like he says In the podcast you will learn something we forgot or never learned along the way. Great guests and information delivered in a way that anyone can understand. I would recommend this to everyone.
  • Jpb2469
    Great information
    Always an enjoyable and educational podcast from the very basics to the advanced. My only complaint would be there’s not enough dad jokes...
  • Silk Masta Flex
    If you really want to understand
    If you want a deep understanding of your job, this is the right podcast. Almost every episode has perfect sound quality so it’s great to listen to between calls. The amount of knowledge I have gained and been able to pass on to the technicians I work with is unbelievable. Thank you for this podcast and thank you for making the trade a better place.
  • JohnFarrar
    Love it
    I live listening to the pod casts! Love that you can get some of these guys to come on and help explain things in more detail! Keep it up! Keep coming with CO2 racks!
  • TimS402
    For more than techs
    I’m not a HVAC tech. I’m an engineer looking for good content that teaches me something without trying to sell me something. Great conversation with funny banter about things I want to learn about. Don’t stop making this show. I recommend it to anyone I can.
  • SpectreX05
    Honest advice for young techs and old
    Been listening since I started trade school but through the HVAC/R app, decided to check the podcast app and I’m not disappointed, beyond that though I just spent 6 hours of window time listening to Brian and his guests and there’s things I’ve been dying to ask older techs about that he covers quite in depth.

    I am new to podcasting. The Hvac/r podcast is a great way to stay on the cutting edge of the hvac business. I enjoy the mix of technical and business podcasts. Everything is pertinent information that you can put into practice the next time you are on the job. It has definitely helped me improve my skill set as a technician. It would be awesome to work for someone as smart as Bryan.
  • edward gerlach
    Awesome podcast
    I listen to a episode every morning on the way to work
  • Wally6464
    Every new and old tech should listen to this!
    I can’t say enough about Bryan Orr and this podcast. I literally passed my EPA 608 test using this podcast and flash cards. The continued training this podcast has provided me has given me an edge in finding better employment and understanding my job, as a residential and commercial service technician. Without HVAC School, I would still be guessing and be in the dark on modern troubleshooting techniques. Thank you for all you do.
  • Kelsea Nicole
    Bryan is the man!!
    Young and in upper management. I’ve had questions and things I wish I knew more about. Listening to this podcast has given me the confidence and knowledge to make changes, implement procedures and provide proper training to my employees. Thanks for putting this out there for people like me. You da man Bryan.

    I started in 95 right out of high school and went to many different schools. Your way of teaching is going to help the young ones . I already have a few Apprentices listening than I question what they picked up. Thanks for the tool.

    I have recently started listening to podcasts and have to say, this podcast has the most valuable information I’ve come across. Great free teachings.

    HVAC wouldn’t be the same without you!
    As someone who is only a few years into the HVAC world, after a career change, I can say that without your contributions,I.e. thru podcasts, HVAC school and the tech tips I know that I would know and understand half of what I think I know today. From everyone in the industry today keep up the great work for our industry!
