We began our HVAC diagnostic mission geared up to tackle superheat and subcooling adjustments🌡️💧. However, we encountered an immediate challenge. Despite the condenser fan operating smoothly, the suction pressure unexpectedly plummeted to around 50 psi 🤔🔌. This anomaly triggered recurrent on-off cycles due to the low-pressure switch. In response, we swiftly transitioned into a comprehensive diagnostic mode, aiming to identify the core issue at play. Check out this step-by-step walkthrough of our troubleshooting process📺💡. https://hubs.la/Q025mQh90

Things I learned as a former air medical dispatcher that I’ve carried throughout my career, even outside of that industry, in celebration of National Public Safety Telecommunications Week: ✅ Always push yourself beyond your comfort zone in the name of learning something new. ✅ Proactive planning, thinking 10 steps ahead, and considering all potential outcomes of an action (even the negative ones) will save you work (and stress) in the long run. ✅ Being busy doesn’t mean you can skip steps! Systems and processes are there for a reason and shouldn’t be compromised to get “caught up”. They’re there to help you navigate the busy moments. ✅Great documentation and note-taking is sooo important…for yourself and others. ✅ Always bring snacks to work. Just in case your day gets away from you. :) ✅ “Someone has to be the calm one in emergencies, and that should always be you.” My first preceptor in that role told me this in 2006 (in more colorful terms) and it has served me in SO many ways in my career. That’s a LinkedIn post in itself. An eternal tip of the hat to all of the 9-1-1, HEMS, and private EMS dispatchers out there. Yours is an exhausting job that isn’t recognized nearly enough.
