PROGRAM OBJECTIVES

HVAC/R stands for Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration. HVAC/R systems technician is responsible for managing the precise indoor thermal comfort of an establishment. Our HVAC/R Technician Training program prepares aspiring candidates from Detroit, Michigan to apply technical knowledge and skills to install, maintain and troubleshoot air-conditioning, ventilation, heating and refrigeration systems. Learn diagnostic techniques using the testing equipment and the principles of mechanics, electricity, and electronics as they relate to the repair of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration systems.

JOB OUTLOOK

Employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 13 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations.

Commercial and residential building construction is expected to drive employment growth. The growing number of sophisticated climate-control systems is also expected to increase the demand for qualified HVAC/R Systems Technicians.

Repair and replacement of HVACR systems is a large part of what technicians do. The growing emphasis on energy efficiency and pollution reduction is likely to increase the demand for HVACR technicians as climate-control systems are retrofitted, upgraded, or replaced entirely.

JOB PROSPECTS

Job opportunities for HVAC/R Systems Technicians are expected to be good. Candidates familiar with tablet computers and electronics, and who attended HVAC/R Technician Training Classes as well have developed troubleshooting skills, will have the best job prospects in Michigan.

Technicians who specialize in new installation work may experience periods of unemployment when the level of new construction activity declines. Maintenance and repair work, however, usually remains relatively stable. Business owners and homeowners depend on their climate-control or refrigeration systems year-round and must keep them in good working order, regardless of economic conditions.

I’ve had amazing experience at Abcott Institute, from my first day all the way till my placement. The staff was wonderful and very helpful. Abcott brought out the passion in me that I actually didn’t even know I had. I will be now working as a medical assistant and I plan to continue my further education in the same school.

James Stitt

Great experience! I learned more than I had expected. My instructors were fantastic and very helpful. As hands-on-training is quite important in surgical technician training, I really liked the way our instructors used examples and visual aids to make things easier for us.
