The daily hands-on lab assignments work in conjunction with the classroom lesson to form the best learning experience. Service call scenarios are commonplace in the classroom and lab environments. In a typical HVAC Service Protocol Course, the student spends 80-hours in the lab and 20-hours in the classroom.

Our HVAC Replacement Protocol class, which is our HVAC Install program, is a 5 day, 40 hour course and will prepare students for proper removal, installation, and start-up of new equipment. Proper equipment installation and start-up is essential to system operation. If shortcuts are taken during installation it can create issues in the system causing the customer to call the installing company back for repairs, plus it can potentially shorten the lifespan of the equipment. Our course teaches the student proper usage of gauges, the recovery process, proper line set sizing, silver brazing, wire sizing, breaker sizing, superheat, sub-cooling, airflow, and much more. Upon successful completion of the course the
student should be armed with the proper knowledge to remove and replace or install an HVAC system.
