Event Description

This intermediate-level webinar series provides HVACR technicians with in-depth training on modern heat pump systems delivered in four sessions. Key topics include inverter technology, advanced installation, heating load calculations, and energy efficiency. Participants gain practical experience in troubleshooting, validating performance, and selecting system configurations. The curriculum also covers cost analysis, system operation, energy consumption calculations, interpreting data tables, and optimizing settings. Further focus areas include control wiring, setback temperatures, home energy audits, duct leakage, mini-split and multi-zone ASHP installation, and using smart diagnostic tools. Upon completion, technicians are prepared to deliver efficient, high-quality solutions for consumer comfort and energy savings.

This training is not only an excellent opportunity to build your skills, but it also prepares you to earn industry-recognised credentials. Upon completion, HVACR professionals are encouraged to take a certification exam recognised by the U.S. Department of Energy as Energy Skilled.

Both the training and the certification exams, along with all preparation materials, are offered at no cost. Even if you are not ready to take the exam immediately, you will still benefit greatly from the practical knowledge and insights provided during the class.

Learning Objectives -

• Compare the initial cost versus long-term costs of heat pump equipment
• Describe the fundamental principles of heat pump system operation
• Calculate the energy consumption of a heat pump
• Validate the performance of heat pumps with step-by-step checks and with extended heating data tables
