Certified furnace technician

In the last decade, there has been a proliferation of HVAC companies in all provinces in Canada. The primary reason for this is that our winters are extremely cold and there is a need for heating and our summers are hot and humid and this means having an air conditioner. The other reason why HVAC companies have multiplied is because the business is profitable. When the furnace or the air conditioner breaks down in the home, the first thing most home owners do is call an HVAC expert. What most homeowners do not realize is that in some cases the HVAC professional who comes to your home is not certified. Most of these people have either learnt the trade from watching their partners or family members repair the equipment and in some cases they have only taken a weekend course. While some of these individuals who are not certified do have good hand skills and knowledge, there are others who are simply not good.
So for the home owner, it is essential to know if the HVAC technician is certified. The HVAC professional who presents to your home should be able to state his or her qualifications immediately. Individuals who go through a bona fide HVAC program are skilled at repairs and installing all types of heating and cooling systems. They undergo a fair amount of basic education and get to learn about the different HVAC systems and how they operate. Most HVAC certified technicians also have a year of an apprenticeship to hone in their skills. A bona fide HVAC certified technician will also be able to provide you with his/her college information, place of apprenticeship and certificate. The reason why it is important to ask for a certified HVAC technician is that many reports have surfaced in the media about bogus HVAC repair men with little or no qualifications. The HVAC business is very unforgiving. When mistakes are made by poorly trained or non certified technicians, it can easily cost the home owner thousands of dollars in repair.
Most major HVAC companies only hire certified technicians and also provide them with more education and experience for the first few years. The junior technician often follows the senior HVAC technician until he/she is proficient to go out alone.
Today certified HVAC technicians undergo a uniform education to obtain their certification. They are not only taught about the theory of how HVAC machines work, but also given practical experience. They are also well versed into certain computer software programs to help them find the cause of trouble shooting.
HVAC technicians who work with refrigerants also have experience and certification. Finally most competent HVAC technicians undergo regular updates and revision courses to maintain their knowledge and keep up to date with the latest research and appliances.
