Heating and Air Conditioning

My husband is colorblind and wants to pursue a career in heating and air conditioning (HVAC). Can he do this?

robbsgirl asked:


I know there are many colors of wires when repairing heaters and air conditioners. He cannot tell many different colors from one another. I want to believe he can do this, but is it possible with his colorblindness?

   Yes. The only problem may come when he is applying the ground wire, but that becomes easy with practice.

   I’m sorry, that made me laugh a little, as one of my friends are almost completely colorblind and it’s kinda hard on him.. I agree with you and would love for your husband to persue this career, but it would be terrible if he did make a mistake in the colors and got electricuted or something. I’d **** for him not to be able to do something he likes, but maybe try to find something in the field that doesn’t require color coding… (I don’t know what but maybe theres something?)
