Heating Ventilation and Air Conditioning

The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning program provides the basic knowledge to develop skills necessary to work with residential and light HVAC commercial systems. This course consists of three sessions: Levels 1, 2, and 3 for classroom and hands-on training.

Introduction to HVAC (Level 1): Serves as the entry-level requirement for an understanding of basic copper and steel piping practices, basic electricity, introduction to heating, cooling and air distribution systems, soldering and brazing and HVAC tool recognition.

Intermediate HVAC (Level 2): Builds upon the skills learned in Level I one with a focus on air quality equipment, alternating current, basic maintenance, chimneys vents and flues, commercial airside systems, fiberglass and fabric duct systems, heat pumps, leak detection, evacuation, recovery and charging, metering devices, and sheet metal duct systems. Toward the end of Level 2 students will have the opportunity to sit for the EPA Refrigeration Recovery/Recycling Certification Exam 608.

Advanced HVAC (Level 3): Builds upon the skills learned in Level 2 with a focus on fasteners, hardware and wiring terminations, control circuit and motor troubleshooting, cooling unit troubleshooting, ductless and variable refrigerant flow systems, gas heating, heat pump troubleshooting and refrigeration systems.
