Online courses with Eric Shidell
HVAC Service Mentor provides all levels of technical service training to HVAC technicians who want to uplevel their skills and take their income to the next level. With more than 20 years of in field HVAC service experience ranging from residential homes to large commercial properties, I help technicians achieve a deeper understanding of HVAC systems and their function which enables them to be more effective, more accurate, and faster in the field. This translates to increased capability, reduced callbacks and warranty calls, and greater profitability and earning potential..
What if you could have access to the knowledge and experience of a true expert in the HVAC service trade? Someone who has spent nearly two decades running calls, and working on every type of heating, cooling and hydronic system imaginable. Someone who is the “end of the line” for HVAC service problems when no one else can figure out what is wrong, he is the one who gets it done. Someone who knows what kinds of mistakes techs make that lead to callbacks and what to do about preventing them. If you had the chance to sit and talk shop with an expert in the HVAC Service trade, what would you ask? What could you learn?
I am Eric Shidell, the HVAC Service Mentor, and I am that kind of expert.
A true HVAC nerd, I eat sleep and breathe HVAC systems. I lived it for nearly twenty years. In an attic on the hottest day of the year. On the roof in the middle of a blizzard. Covered in soot in the boiler room at 3AM. I have learned the secrets of what it takes to be at the top of the service field. I now teach these secrets to others, so they too may rise to the top.
As a leader in the service field, I am in a unique position to understand what it is that technicians need to know in order to be truly excellent. I also know what it is that holds technicians back and prevents them from being truly excellent. I call these things “knowledge gaps”.
Knowledge gaps are the parts of a technician’s training and knowledge base that are incomplete. For example, most techs know “how” to replace an ignition control, but don’t actually understand what it is that determines whether or not the control is at fault (even if they think they do!)
The technicians I work with already have jobs in the trade. They don’t need me to show them how to use wrenches, torches, or other tools. They need help filling in their knowledge gaps so they are better able to decide where, when, why, and how much to use those tools. Harnessing the communication power of the internet, I can share my considerable wealth of knowledge and experience with technicians from all over North America in a convenient easy to use format.
Throughout the year I offer study at your own pace prerecorded internet based training programs in Residential and Light Commercial Heating, Air Conditioning and Boiler applications.
