What Is Air Conditioning Technology?
If you enjoy mechanical systems and solving problems, consider a career as a heating, air conditioning and refrigeration technician. HVAC systems control temperature, humidity and air quality where we live and work and let us store and transport food, medicine and other items needed to sustain life. These systems consist of many mechanical, electrical and electronic parts, and HVAC mechanics and technicians must be able to install, maintain, diagnose and repair them.
To become a journeyman, you need 2 years and 3,000 hours of work experience. Our classes in this program can count toward up to 1 year and 1,500 hours of the experience needed. Let us help you get closer to your goal!
