Prepare for a brand-new career as an HVACR (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning Refrigeration) Technician in 9 months of study at American College of Healthcare and Technology.

The HVACR program offered by ACHT in Riverside, Santa Ana and Huntington Park, CA is designed to provide graduates with the skills necessary to qualify for entry-level positions as a heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers—often called an  HVACR technician.

In our HVAC program, you will learn how to offer professional services in support of the heating and air conditioning systems used to control the temperature, humidity, and overall air quality in homes, businesses, and other buildings.

This HVAC training program will also help you understand how to install, maintain, and repair systems using sophisticated tools and when to work with craft workers while maintaining compliance with federal, state, and local regulations.

An HVAC Technician may complete the following tasks:

  • Using blueprints or design specifications to install or repair HVAC systems
  • Connecting systems to fuel and water supply lines, air ducts, and other components
  • Installing electrical wiring and controls and test for proper operation
  • Inspecting and maintaining customers’ HVAC systems

Commercial and residential building construction is expected to drive employment growth, and job opportunities for HVACR technicians are expected to be good.
