I'd rather show you the job than talk about it.
Licensed mechanical contractor. Twenty years of installs, service calls and other people's mistakes. No manufacturer paying me to say nice things about their equipment.
Why this course exists
Ductless went from a niche product to something on nearly every quote sheet in about a decade. The training didn't keep up. Most of what's out there is a manufacturer slide deck read aloud by someone who has never had to get a blower wheel out of a head unit in a customer's bedroom at 6pm.
So the videos here are the opposite of that. They're shot on real jobs, with real faults, in real houses. When something goes sideways on camera it stays in, because that's the part you actually learn from. When I'm not certain, I say so and show you how to find the answer in the manufacturer's documentation instead of guessing confidently.
What I'm not
I'm not sponsored by an equipment manufacturer, and nothing here is trying to steer you toward a brand. I'm not going to pretend every job is clean or every diagnosis is quick. And I'm not going to teach shortcuts that put you, the customer or the equipment at risk — where a shortcut is genuinely safe, I'll show it and explain why; where it isn't, I'll say that too.
Who this is for
Apprentices and second-year techs who keep getting handed ductless calls. Experienced HVAC people who came up on furnaces and conventional splits and want to stop treating mini splits as a black box. Shop owners training a new hire without losing a senior tech's whole week to ride-alongs. Serious homeowners are welcome too — but the refrigerant work is written for people who are licensed to do it.
How the course gets updated
Lessons get added as they're filmed. If a lesson turns out to be unclear, or the field proves me wrong on something, it gets re-shot rather than quietly left up. One-time members get all of it at no extra cost — that isn't a promotion, it's just how the course is meant to work.
This page is written as a placeholder in your voice — swap in your name, your licence details, your region, and a photo when you're ready. Everything here is safe to say generically, but it lands far harder with your specifics in it.
Filmed, cut and checked the same way every time
Shot on the job
Real equipment, real fault, real customer. Nothing staged on a bench.
Cut for the point
Dead time removed, the reasoning left in. Most lessons run 6–13 minutes.
Checked against the manual
Where a procedure is manufacturer-specific, the lesson says so and shows where to look.
Re-shot when it needs it
If a lesson isn't clear enough, it gets replaced rather than left up.
