The majority of HVAC technicians receive at least some specialized training before starting employment. Most HVAC technicians nowadays begin their education by attending a technical school or community college. Shorter programs can take as little as six months and lead to an HVAC technician certificate, whereas lengthier programs can last up to two years and lead to an associate degree. HVAC professionals can start preparing for this sort of training as early as high school by completing math, physics and shop classes.
HVAC training will provide you with a strong foundation in a variety of HVAC systems and procedures. You'll learn how to install, maintain and troubleshoot the following:
- Heating and cooling (evaporators, compressors, condensers, etc.)
- Tools, equipment, methods and components for refrigeration.
- Duct systems for heating and humidification.
You'll also learn about the building as a whole, as well as how building design affects factors like humidity, heat, ventilation and energy efficiency.
Communication Skills: Working with clients is a big part of what it takes to be an HVAC professional. You must be able to clearly describe what has to be done and why as the expert.
Ability to Solve Problems: An HVAC technician must be able to diagnose and correct problems. An HVAC expert must diagnose what is faulty and get it operating again.
Work with Heavy Objects and Machinery with Confidence: HVAC equipment can be large and cumbersome. To execute duties, these experts are frequently required to lift heavy equipment.
Computer Skills and Aptitude: Many aspects of HVAC technology are moving toward digitalization. HVAC technicians must be competent to operate the digital components of the equipment they are installing, maintaining or repairing. Similarly, many businesses utilize software to keep track of their clients and personnel.
