Description

Acquiring an EPA certification should be high on your list of priorities, but a high-level understanding of refrigerants and their applications is just as important. Improper identification and use of refrigerants can damage or destroy HVAC equipment, cause serious environmental damage, and even lead to personal injury or death.

If you want to be able to handle refrigerants, you need to have a certification from the US Environmental Protection Agency. Attend our hands-on training that will help keep you and the environment safe while preparing for your EPA Certification that will last you a lifetime.

Who Should Attend?

It is recommended that anyone who maintains, services, repairs or disposes of appliances that contain regulated substances be certified in proper refrigerant handling techniques.
