Refrigerant-Side Performance – Online Live Certification Program

What if everything you thought you knew about diagnosing and solving refrigeration-side performance problems may not be totally correct?

Before you hook up a refrigerant gauge to a condensing unit, do you know for certain it’s the right first step to solving the issue?

By tapping into the refrigerant-side and adjusting the charge before you establish the true causes of the problem, you may not solve it. In many cases, you might make things worse!

There is a better way!

This National Comfort Institute advanced residential and commercial certification class provides you with real-world lessons and live demo training. It’s based on proven techniques on how to best approach refrigeration-side issues.

Learn how to:

How to apply a performance-based, systematic approach to refrigeration-side diagnostics
Explore new HVAC refrigeration cycle performance-related solutions
Identify surgical system repairs to improve performance
How to use inspection, testing, and system history to determine if and when you need to tap into the refrigeration circuit
Address underlying issues that impact the system before adjusting the charge
