HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) service technicians play a crucial role in maintaining, repairing, and installing HVAC systems in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Technical Proficiency: HVAC service technicians should have a strong understanding of HVAC systems, including how they operate, their components, and troubleshooting techniques. They should be able to diagnose problems accurately and efficiently. To note, at HVACTA’s aggressive workshops are all about preparing you for the job.
Certifications: Employers often expect HVAC technicians to hold relevant certifications and licenses, such as the Universal EPA 608 certification for handling refrigerants. Continuing education to stay current with industry standards and regulations is also important.
