Document Actions

The Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration Program is designed to train individuals in the field of heating and refrigeration equipment, maintenance and repair and in the use of EPA-approved recovery equipment.

Individuals satisfying course competencies will have career opportunities in a variety of job classifications such as service, installation and repair of industrial and domestic refrigeration systems. All students seeking employment as air conditioning/refrigeration technicians must pass an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) certification test.
HCC recommends the student pass this test before completing the program.

Students successfully completing any of the certificates listed below may apply a maximum of 26 semester hours towards an AAS degree in Construction Technology or Craft Management Specialization. For certificates with fewer than 26 semester hours, additional courses in Construction Technology, Business Administration, or other related disciplines may be required.
