The HVAC Maintenance program is designed to help students develop technical knowledge and skills related to the installation, repair, and maintenance of residential heating and air conditioning equipment. Students will learn details about HVAC equipment, with an emphasis on making repairs in a safe, efficient, and productive manner. Students will learn WHAT failed, WHY it failed, and HOW the failure can be prevented. Understanding these principles (WHAT, WHY and HOW) will increase worker productivity and reduce overall maintenance/capital expenditures. Students will also develop skills in recognizing and testing the components, interpreting the schematic wiring diagram and tracing the sequence of operation, cleaning the equipment and performing annual maintenance, and tweaking settings for optimum efficiency. In addition, students will learn terminology, energy saving tips, technological advancements, tools and test instruments used in the trade, plus more.
Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to:
- Summarize how HVAC equipment operates
- Classify the components of various HVAC equipment
- Interpret the schematic wiring diagrams and trace the sequence of equipment operation
- Make use of HVAC diagnostic and repair procedures
- Develop professional documentation of tasks completed and customer relation skills
- Apply HVAC maintenance skills within governmental regulations and industry standards
