Designed for the new hire into the HVAC residential light commercial installation and startup business, this course was specifically developed for the person with minimum training or field experience. It is intended to quickly help a new hire become a useful and profitable member of the installation team. The course not only provides practical hands-on training, but will show the students the right way to install and start residential and light commercial equipment. This will help insure proper system operation with top efficiency, promote customer satisfaction, and eliminate costly callbacks. This course can also provide the first stepping stone in training for an installer, who is being groomed to advance towards a service technician position. This 4-day course splits time in the classroom with hands-on training. Skills covered include brazing, refrigerant recovery and charging and proper use of common HVAC troubleshooting tools.
