CAREER PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

HVAC/Refrigeration Program students learn to troubleshoot issues, install, and repair a broad range of heating and cooling systems, including, window and central air conditioning, refrigeration systems, and various heating systems. Students study different heating systems; for example, gas, oil, and electrical. Experience troubleshooting of oil and gas-fired burners for heating systems extend students’ experience. The curriculum includes significant experience with electricity because electrical controls are involved in all of HVAC and refrigeration systems. Design and installation of refrigeration systems, including walk-in refrigerators and freezers give students a foundation on cooling systems, and this is followed with air conditioning system installation and maintenance that includes split-central and multi-zone hydronic systems. Students also are exposed to job estimating and business practices relevant to HVAC careers.
