What is HVAC? - Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning is the technology and trade of indoor environmental control. HVAC systems are designed and installed by degreed or certificated technicians to promote clean, comfortable, efficient airflow in offices, homes, apartments, and commercial buildings.

Getting into HVACR can give you a shot at living your dream of working in a high-skilled trade where your mechanical aptitude and problem solving skills earn you the respect you deserve. It also means joining a growing industry where technology is evolving and companies are competing for talented mechanics and installers.

There is nothing one-size-fits-all about heating, cooling, ventilation and refrigeration. The systems used throughout the country are different because the heating and cooling needs are different, and what works in one industrial application may not solve the problem in another. On-call service techs, installation contractors, and in-house engineers have no choice but to become experts in their niche, and to continually refine their expertise on the job as technology and efficiency standards change.
