HVAC School – For Techs, By Techs

HVAC School – For Techs, By Techs

Real training for HVAC ( Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration) Technicians. Including recorded tech training, interviews, diagnostics and general conversations about the trade.

Are you using AI to Troubleshoot w/ Refrigeration Mentor

byBryan Orr

In this episode of the HVAC School Podcast, Trevor Matthews and Bryan dive deep into the transformative potential of artificial intelligence (AI) in the refrigeration and HVAC industries. They explore how AI is not a new concept in their field, discussing how manufacturers like Copeland, Sporlan, and Danfoss have long incorporated AI-driven tools and repositories of information into their applications. The conversation goes beyond simple technological novelty, positioning AI as a powerful learning and troubleshooting assistant for technicians.

The discussion highlights AI’s role as a supportive tool rather than a job replacement. Trevor emphasizes that AI cannot physically perform trade-specific tasks like climbing ladders or brazing pipes, but it can provide invaluable guidance, explain complex procedures, and help technicians quickly access specialized knowledge. Particularly beneficial for less experienced technicians working late-night shifts or challenging service calls, AI can serve as an instant reference point, helping to jog memory and provide step-by-step troubleshooting guidance.

Bryan and Trevor both stress the importance of approaching AI with curiosity and critical thinking. They advise against treating AI-generated information as absolute truth, instead recommending users ask follow-up questions, verify information, and use AI as a conversational learning tool. Trevor is actively developing a specialized AI platform for refrigeration training, working to train the system with industry-specific knowledge and real-world experience to create a more accurate and helpful resource for technicians.

Key Topics Covered:

AI’s current applications in refrigeration and HVAC industries
How AI can support technician learning and troubleshooting
Strategies for effectively using AI tools
The importance of maintaining technical knowledge while using AI
Trevor’s ongoing development of a specialized refrigeration AI training platform
Practical examples of AI use in technical and non-technical scenarios
Addressing concerns about AI potentially “dumbing down” the industry

For those interested in participating in Trevor’s AI beta test, email info@refrigerationmentor.com with the subject line “Looking to be included in the beta test for the refrigeration training AI.” You can also visit the Refrigeration Mentor website at https://refrigerationmentor.com/.
