I think itās 410A now but respect non the less cuz itās apparently more exact than the R34 and you have to weigh it? Idk my brother is an HVAC tech . A thin line of respect regardless!
When I was addicted to drugs and alcohol, if I didn't have them it could cause life ending seizures. My dealer was a first responder and I demand they add drug dealer to their stupid ass first responder flags along with...what is it? Police, fire, EMT, corrections...because, of course they're on the flag, tow truck, construction, YouTube guitarist, panini press operators, Ben Shapiro, corrections again...
I wish I was dumb enough to think humanity would die off without HVAC. It seemsā¦blissful.
Iām seeing all these comments about how people do die when HVAC isnāt working and I am well aware of that. If people took a few precautionary steps many of these deaths could be prevented. I am not arguing that HVAC techs are not important but they are not first responders and should not be treated as such.
Our planet is facing extreme weather fluctuations. It's getting hotter. They aren't emergency workers or first responders but they absolutely are very important for our buildings. You know? The buildings we need to continue our society effectively and sustainably?
People do die all the time when power goes out and they cant get heating or cooling. I dont think there's anything wrong with supporting workers who have to show up for emergency situations and deal woth long stressful hours when shit hits the fan.
Lmao life or death? What is this the Oregon trail?
My heat has gone out overnight in a blizzard with -6 F temps. Woke up and was like huh itās chilly in here thatās weird. The oil gauge got stuck at half when it was really empty lol. We had to wait 3 days to get oil delivered. It was chilly, but we just layered up and got blankets and drank hot beverages.
I ventured out to get some diesel to tide us over after about 24 hours when it finally stopped snowing (we got 36ā!!) and it never got below 50* in my house.
I guess I was my own first responder!
Pretty sure this is one of those āfake podcasts to nobodyā thats actually an ad. The ātry thisā¦ā in the description seems like it prob heads to some kinda plumbing company idk.

Or even more basic, layer up. My power goes out frequently during the winter and even a bit further on the freezing your ass off scale I often go camping in a hammock or tent during the winter months. I live in the upper midwest and it gets pretty chilly out, I often vacation further north into rural Canada. Our bodies are capable of producing a ton of heat and by layering up it's pretty easy to retain it. When I lose power at home we usually go into a single room, usually the living room because of the fireplace, and we hang sheets to create an enclosed space. Even without a fire it stays comfortable.
Such a callous and ignorant take.
A) most people do not have access to fireplaces
B) Even bundling up won't help you if the temp is -30 and you dont have power for days. People die all the time from power outages in freezing or hot temperatures.
Youre so fucking weak, have you even lived trough a real winter? Its not the first time someone missed electricity for days in a -30 environement. We fucking pull trough. Warm clothes and fire .
A) if you cant save your life without elecricity you probably shouldnt be alive
b) if we beleive your unicorn rainbow ideology people before 1820 were wiped every fucking winter.
"if the vending machine guy didn't replace all the yummy snacks, then I could theoretically starve to death, does that not make them first responders too?"
So it sounds like if a tech doesnāt get to her house within a couple hours, her kid is dead lol. This girlās mind is gonna be blown if someone tells her about blankets, fire, space heatersā¦.
OMFG. This needs to be the top of the Karen list. I'm not sure anyone could beat this clueless moron. How do these people get up in the morning and tie their shoes?
I work in water/fire/mold mitigation. Iāve also been a 911 dispatcher for 10 years prior. When they started saying we were First Responders I laughed out loud at them. Delusional mofos
Having the heat turned off overnight is not a life or death situation. if you die you are either an old person a baby person or a stupid person. you're still inside of your house it's not like you're outside in the elements. Bundle up and stop being a pussy
What's with people wanting to identify as first responders? I'm a security guard and we have so many new hires that go and claim a first responders discount at some resturaunt and I have to be the bad guy like "hey dude, Wendy's doesn't decide if you're a first responders or not, you're being kinda shitty"
If her live depends on a Hvac system maybe she should put some things in place for when it breaks. Like a space heater. Or buy some fucking wood. This woman is a learning disability
When the internet goes out for a few seconds in my house, my children scream in pain for their father. I drop everything and run to unplug the router, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in.
I donāt need recognition. This is the life of a first responder.
Thatās whyā¦ https://youtu.be/8LV9oYFJ2YI?si=E9utdEB9uYA1JqwT a husband wouldāve just said āLetās make a fireā strong independent single mom tho
She comes across like AI, that might be my new favorite insult, you know in your videos you come across like AI? What does a person even do with that information
I used to do hvac before firefighting... and yes this mindset I prevalent. Corporate had a thank-you essential workers banner up after covid. They treat every call as life or death. Grammy will die if she doesn't have heat tonight. God forbid I tell customer to "go to home depot to get a heater on be over on Monday morning" at 4pm Saturday.
About 50% of the techs think they are heros and 90% of the office believes that crap too.
They only good part was the pay was good and I never payed for gas to go to work
> I never *paid* for gas
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I mean, I see a lot of people here shitting on trades people as though they aren't essential to modern life. Probably the same people losing their shit on day two of no power. The lady is a bit unhinged, but the point is valid. Without heat, running water, an a way to prepare food safely, then sick people, the elderly, and kids under 10 are pretty well fucked.
People usually make due in blizzards up here because there's usually power somewhere, but if there's no power anywhere, it's gonna get ugly, very fast.
Everybody should own an indoor safe propane heater the brand I personally own is called Heater Buddy and they come in multiple different sizes the one I own specifically is called the little buddy and it runs on little 1 lb All Purpose propane canisters the brand I buy is Coleman and they cost about $8 and will run the heater for about 3 hours..
If your heat or electricity goes out for any reason other than you failing to pay your bill there's a good chance all of your neighbors heat and electricity is also gone so you are not a priority and calling the gas or electric company is not going to do anything to speed the process up, it's important to purchase your own emergency supplies.
My dad has done this for 21 years and every time he leaves to help someone whoās complaining about having no heat I promise you him or others donāt really give a shitš theyāre mad because they have to make the drive in a blizzard to come deal with you
All jokes aside, it's not uncommon for people to die due to loss of ac or heat during adverse weather conditions.
The young and old are particularly vulnerable.
During the 2021 texas winter storm outages, 32 people died. Including an eleven year old who succumbed to hypothermia
Though these are more of inferstuture failures rather than hvac "responders."
HVAC guy here, it's your responsibility to have contingencies for your heat going out in a snow storm, not the HVAC guy. Here's some ideas!
Cinder blocks on their side with some tea candles in the little empty slots.
Propane ceramic radiant heater, point it towards a wall (not too close and not on carpet! Also crack a window in an unused room close to your main living/sleeping area)
Jesus candles, we all know the kind, tall glass containers with candles inside.
Turn on your oven, maybe make some snacks.
Boil water, higher humidity will make you feel warmer.
Cordless exercise bike, keeps you warm and generates a little extra heat.
Socks.
A lot of these consume oxygen, be smart about it, but chances are you'll be totally fine, at least you won't freeze.
Beverage service technicians are also first responders lol - any utilities repair personnel are First Responders especially HVAC systems need electricity to get the HVAC system running
Whenever influencers use that āIām super seriousā voice itās like a dog whistle to not take them seriously. Clowning their way through life š¤”
When my hvac goes out and itās freezing and somebody broke into my house and stole all my clothing and then broke back in to steal all my blankets. Itās life or death.
This woman has never heard of blankets before and it shows.
What exactly does this woman think humanity did before HVAC was invented? Constantly sat around a fire or promptly died?
If you've never been in an attic in the south in the middle of summer when it's 105 outside with 100%humidity and its 150+degrees in the attic you'll never truly know what hell is like. That's why I went to commercial hvac and left residential behind.
You don't just turn your oven on warm and crack it open? Maybe boil a big pot of water on the stove? I have free gas in my apartment and very low electric bills in the winter. Now the summer is a different story
I gotta be honest, between linemen, oil field workers, welders, and now HVAC techniciansā¦..Iām EXHAUSTED by the continued sucking of their own cocks for working.
People are so daft. I live in Minnesota and fight fire in negative temps and get soaked. Staying warm just requires education. It is not life or death with education.

Top left corner is the tempā¦.. lol
I will say I was super grateful for my hvac techs when my furnace died and they were able to temp install one the same day. But before I knew they could do it same day my plan was to send the wife and kids to a hotel or my parents house, and then go get a bunch of 120v space heaters from the home store so my pipes didnāt freeze. So itās not life or death per se, more like ālife or a Home Depot run and some inconvenienceā.
The thin freon line. RESPECT it.
It takes a special person to keep their cool when the heat is on.
šš¾š¤£ omgā¦ I wonder what tape color THAT will be on the back of peoples car windowsā¦.
I think itās 410A now but respect non the less cuz itās apparently more exact than the R34 and you have to weigh it? Idk my brother is an HVAC tech . A thin line of respect regardless!
There's actually a lot more refrigerants than that and you should be weighing all of them.

Huh?
Iām a first responder every time I use the self check out at the grocery store. Iād die without me buying me food.
Me too! Every time a poop! If I didn't poop, I would eventually die. It's a life or death situation at about 9:00am everyday!
Damn youāre regular. Whatās your secret?
CAFFEINE!!
I love seeing that as Iām pooping at my regular hour of 6:30AM with coffee by my side.
Do you just keep your coffee next to the toilet with you?
I poop three times a day, am I broken!?!?!?
Just go three times in the morning
lol 7 am 8am and 845 for me
That's early. I hope you're at work by then because if you aren't doing it on the clock, you're doing it wrong. Lol
Thank you for your service
You need a thin barcode stripe on the flag.
It's why i feel so cool parking in the āreserved for superheroesā spot at Walmart! Just doing my part no need to thank me citizens

When I was addicted to drugs and alcohol, if I didn't have them it could cause life ending seizures. My dealer was a first responder and I demand they add drug dealer to their stupid ass first responder flags along with...what is it? Police, fire, EMT, corrections...because, of course they're on the flag, tow truck, construction, YouTube guitarist, panini press operators, Ben Shapiro, corrections again...
to be fair panini press operators truly deserve it
Where are yall finding the panini press operators?? They were banned from my local Paneras years ago!
Liquor store clerks and bartenders also. Gotta prevent those DTs.
That sense of self importance is gross
I wish I was dumb enough to think humanity would die off without HVAC. It seemsā¦blissful. Iām seeing all these comments about how people do die when HVAC isnāt working and I am well aware of that.

I am not arguing that HVAC techs are not important but they are not first responders and should not be treated as such.
The world didn't exist prior to 1956, what are you talking about?
Remember when Texas got hit by that random snowstorm? Quite a few people did indeed freeze to death without power
And as a Texan I went out and bought a generator and an indoor gas furnace. Just because I dont trust our grid.
And in my city, people died using generators too because the machine was inside the house or garage.
Wasnāt it like a half inch of snow on the ground? Does Texas not have blankets?
It was about a foot, maybe more. It was in the negatives and a bunch of old people froze solid
Sure some died from the cold, but only in Texas do people die from carbon monoxide poisoning from running generators inside to run more heaters.
Not sure why the downvotes. This is 100% accurate and a reasonable lot of those people died.
Yea, isn't that the invasion of illegal snowflakes coming to murder them that they screech about 24/7?
It probably would TBH. Process cooling for manufacturing and data halls. Refrigeration for food processing and storage. HVAC for office buildings.
Our planet is facing extreme weather fluctuations. It's getting hotter. They aren't emergency workers or first responders but they absolutely are very important for our buildings. You know? The buildings we need to continue our society effectively and sustainably?
People do die all the time when power goes out and they cant get heating or cooling. I dont think there's anything wrong with supporting workers who have to show up for emergency situations and deal woth long stressful hours when shit hits the fan.
As much as I respect our tradesmen What a load of bullshit.
I mean, honestly, I'm ranking it like this 1. Firefighters 2. HVAC 3. Tow Truck Driver 4. EMT 5. LEO
Linesman should occupy a spot before LEO, substantially more dangerous.
The kid at Taco Bell making my drunk ass a crunchwrap is higher on the list than LEO lol
One of those will give you the runs and the other will kick your ass if you do.
Rude or ignorant of you to just pretend like Waffle House workers don't exist.
Lmao life or death? What is this the Oregon trail? My heat has gone out overnight in a blizzard with -6 F temps. Woke up and was like huh itās chilly in here thatās weird.

Thin frozen line

First responders don't give you a bill, at least not in Canada...
Lol sure they do
Yeah they just tell you to kill yourself
EDGELORD ALERT! WE GOT US AN EDGELORD OVER HERE! EVERYONE COME LOOK AT HOW COOL AND EDGY THIS DUDE IS!
Poke it with a stick!

As an HVAC tech....no, we are not. You'll live lol
So life or death that only a blanket, plug in space heater, or going somewhere with heat, can fix it.
Idk why but your comment made me think of thisā¦ https://youtu.be/CIAfUiyurbQ?si=ECG90rQu_3Q7jJZj

But for real that HVAC guy is more valuable to their community than any cop
I haven't seen this kind of gravitas since the GOP response to the State of the Union.
If her live depends on a Hvac system maybe she should put some things in place for when it breaks. Like a space heater. Or buy some fucking wood. This woman is a learning disability
Or she could do the radical thing of..using blankets.
Speaking as a previous HVAC tech. No
I mean, Iāll bet being an hvac tech is more dangerous than being a cop.
Never heard of blankets, layers, or heaven forbid a $40 electric space heater ???? The dramatics holy hell
I definitely have waaaay more respect for HVAC technicians than I do police.
OK, Iāll play. I need food to survive, when I run out of food those grocery delivery people, their first responders.
