Program Description

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning mechanics install, repair, and maintain a variety of cooling and heating equipment–ranging from small residential units to major commercial/industrial systems. After installation, mechanics charge systems and are responsible for routine maintenance and repair.

Hodgson's HVAC program covers training on the installation of refrigerant piping, electrical power wiring, temperature control and monitoring devices, as well as the interpretation of blueprints, design specifications, and electrical schematics, and the interpretation of E.P.A. refrigerant laws.

As central air conditioning has become more common in homes and the standard at work sites, the field of HVAC has grown. Locally, the number of available positions far exceeds the number of qualified mechanics.
