If
you’ve made up your mind to become an HVAC technician, it’s a wise choice. The
HVAC industry is growing, and that should continue as HVAC systems become more
complex and sophisticated. Skilled technicians will be needed to meet the
demands, and those who have certifications will command the highest wages and
can even choose better working conditions.
While
certification might not be required in every state, there are good reasons to
obtain it nonetheless. Here are some of the things you should know about
certifications as you start in this exciting field:
What Does an HVAC Certification License Say About You?
A
certification license indicates that you are a trained and qualified HVAC
technician. You have passed the exams and can perform installations and repair
tasks within your state. Here are just some of the benefits you’ll get by
becoming certified:
You will have a substantial
advantage in the job market
Your earning potential will
increase
You’ll have the opportunity to
work on larger projects as you enhance your skills
It will give you credibility
with your clients if you decide to become a contractor
As the
HVAC industry grows and attracts more people, you will always be a step ahead
of the competition if you are certified.
There are Several Types of HVAC Certificates
The Section 608 Technician
Certification—more commonly referred to as EPA HVAC Certification—is required
by the Environmental Protection
Agency to handle refrigerants. Incorrect use of refrigerants can damage or
destroy HVAC equipment, lead to injuries, and cause severe environmental
damage.
There are four types of EPA certifications for refrigerants:
Type I:
servicing small appliances
Type II:
servicing or disposing of high-pressure appliances, except small appliances and
MVACs (motor vehicle air conditioning)
Type III: servicing
or disposing of low-pressure appliances
Universal:
covers and tests on all three types
There
is also a certification from North American Technician Excellence (NATE), a non-profit
organization that offers nationally recognized certification programs for HVAC
technicians. Because of the practical qualities of the NATE certification
process, it is the ideal way for technicians to confirm their knowledge.
How Do You Become Certified?
Here are the HVAC certification requirements:
You’ll need to earn a high
school diploma or GED equivalent, depending on your state
You can receive an HVAC
certificate from an accredited trade school or
program. Once again, it depends on your state.
You can get your HVAC license
from the state in which you plan to work
You can pass certification exams
for different types of HVAC careers
If
you are qualified and have the experience, you should have no trouble getting your
certification. Whether you started by attending college or you went through an
apprenticeship program, you can become certified.
