The Story

Bryan Orr was an HVAC business owner in Florida who noticed the industry had a massive training problem. Trade schools were outdated, and journeyman training was inconsistent. In 2017, he started creating technical training content for HVAC technicians - refrigerant charging, electrical troubleshooting, and system diagnostics. His content was highly technical but accessible. He explained complex concepts with clear visuals and real-world scenarios. Young technicians used his videos as a free apprenticeship supplement. Experienced techs used them to stay current. HVAC companies started requiring employees to watch his content. The channel evolved into a full training ecosystem. He launched a podcast, training courses, and live events. Manufacturers sponsor him to train technicians on their equipment. His HVAC company still operates, but his education business generates more revenue with less operational headache.

I started making videos because I couldn't find trained technicians. Now the best technicians find me.
