How to Check AMPS on an HVAC System — Part 3 of 3

In today’s lesson, we break down what amperage really is. If you're new to HVAC, understanding amps is one of the most important skills for troubleshooting motors, compressors, heat strips, blowers, and every component that draws electrical load. You’ll learn: 🔧 What amperage means in the HVAC world 🔧 How electrical current (amps) flows through a system 🔧 Why high or low amp draw can at times damage components 🔧 Real HVAC examples using the AMP setting on a multimeter or clamp meter 🔧 How to safely check motors, compressors, and heat strips for proper amp draw 🔧 What the “A” or “AMP” symbol means on your meter — and how to read it correctly Whether you're a beginner, a student, or a working tech who wants a refresher, this lesson makes amperage simple, visual, and hands-on so you can diagnose electrical issues with confidence. #HVAC, #HVACTraining, #HVACSchool, #HVACBasics, #HVACElectrical, #Amperage, #Amps, #ClampMeter, #Multimeter, #HVACTips, #HVACStudents, #LearnHVAC, #HVACForBeginners, #ElectricalBasics, #PioneerHVACControls, #HVACTroubleshooting, #Motors, #Compressors, #HeatStrips, #HVACTechnician
