Heating and air-conditioning equipment makes buildings comfortable for work, study or play. Refrigeration equipment makes it possible to safely store foods, medicine and other items.
The HVACR equipment that provides these conveniences is complex. As a heating, ventilation and air conditioning/refrigeration (HVACR) technician you'll have the skills and expertise needed to install, maintain, troubleshoot and repair heating and cooling equipment. Much of the equipment you work will be computer controlled.
