Fundamental Concepts to Advanced Level System Maintenance and Troubleshooting
NEW! 235 High Performance Heat Pumps (30 Instructional hours. 365 days to complete)
This advanced level, ten-module series is designed for experienced HVACR technicians, or those who have completed an educational program in HVACR. The 235 course focuses upon introducing the HVACR technician to high performance heat pumps, and equips you with the knowledge to master modern heat pump systems, from initial cost analysis to advanced diagnostics.
Completion of this course prepares you for a “DOE Energy Skilled” exam.
005 Heat Pump Water Heating – Provided by AO Smith and HVACRedu.net
Heat pump water heaters are the most efficient type of electric water heater and are required under NAECA III for some applications. Heat pump water heaters are easy to install, but do require management of the condensation produced. Heat pump water heaters have built-in diagnostics to make troubleshooting easier. Most problems can be diagnosed with the built-in diagnostics and a multi-meter.
This comprehensive workshop is provided free of charge. It includes video modules that we recommend watching in order. At the end of this course, there is a certification test. Upon passing with a 70% on the test, you will be able to download your certificate in PDF form.
135 Heat Pumps (21 hours/365 days to complete) Advanced
An introduction to reverse-cycle heat pumps used in residential and light commercial applications. The course covers components and operational differences of a heat pump vs. a straight air conditioning system, troubleshooting, and solutions. Instruction aligns with ACCA Quality Installation & Maintenance Standards.
Recommended Prerequisites: You will want to have a strong working knowledge of basic HVACR fundamentals prior to enrollment into this advanced course. This course includes e-textbook reading assignments from Cengage’s “Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Technology” 7th edition.
136 Heat Pump ll (12 hours/365 days to complete) Advanced
A continuation of the topic of reverse-cycle heat pumps used in residential and light commercial applications. This course concentrates on troubleshooting and servicing heat pump problems encountered by technicians in the field. The course is generic and not focused on one manufacturer. Emphasis is put on real-world troubleshooting and operation scenarios.
Recommended Prerequisites: You will want to have a strong working knowledge of basic HVACR fundamentals prior to enrollment into this course. Completion of the 135 Heat Pump course is encouraged.
137 HVACR Geothermal Heat Pump Systems (18 Instructional hours/365 days to complete) Advanced
You will gain an introduction to geothermal heat pumps as one of the most efficient heating and cooling technologies available today.The course focuses on geothermal (water source) heat pumps utilized for residential and light commercial applications.
Recommended Prerequisites: You will want to have a strong working knowledge of basic HVACR fundamentals and a good understanding of the refrigeration cycle prior to enrollment into this advanced course. This course includes e-textbook reading assignments from Cengage’s “Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Technology” 7th edition.
423 Commercial Water Source Heat Pumps (18 Instructional hours / 365 days to complete)
Many commercial buildings today use Water Source Heat Pumps (WSHP) to meet their heating and cooling needs. These unique systems can be all electric energy and meet emissions regulations by not using fossil fuel systems for heating.
The operation and designs of these Water Source Heat Pumps are unique. Any technician working in commercial buildings must have a basic understanding of these systems. This course is designed to equip commercial HVAC technicians in maintaining and troubleshooting these systems.
