Are you interested in technology? Want to help those in your community stay warm in the winter and cool in the summer? If this sounds like you, consider an HVAC technician career. You get to learn about all the new technologies that are introduced to the HVAC industry and help others at the same time. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Many new technologies help HVAC technicians install and maintain systems. These new technologies include:
Energy Analysis Software
The software can help HVAC technicians save time and resources before installation. They help you understand the best configuration to regulate energy consumption and reduce wasted energy.
HVAC & Artificial Intelligence
Integrating smart technology and artificial intelligence (AI) is an exciting new technology. Do you want to live in a world where your HVAC system tracks your patterns, adapts to your schedule, and optimizes energy consumption? The future is now with the transformative power of smart technology and artificial intelligence in HVAC systems.
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats have changed the way we interact with our indoor climate. They go beyond adjusting the temperature. They have learned your habits, preferences, and schedules. Smart thermostats can anticipate when you’ll be home and adjust the temperature. This enhances your comfort and minimizes energy waste when you are not home.
Smart Sensors
AI has contributed to HVAC systems to optimize energy efficiency within your home. Smart sensors can detect whether you are home, the humidity levels, and outdoor weather conditions. AI algorithms process this information to make real-time decisions.
Smart Devices
A smartphone app can now control HVAC systems. You can connect your smartphone using Wi-Fi and control the temperature or air conditioner anywhere. Is it a cold night? Turn on your heater before you arrive home and make it warm and comfortable.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerants
Natural refrigerants, including ammonia, carbon dioxide, and glycol, help air conditioners and refrigerators perform efficiently and are eco-friendly. These natural refrigerants exist naturally in the atmosphere and offer low or zero carbon footprint.
Amazon Alexa, Apple Siri, and Google Assistant
Want to have all your devices working together? Alexa, Siri, and Google Assistant can set up routines for your smart home devices to work together, offering efficiencies and a more cost-effective system. Use voice commands or have devices respond to real-world events, like turning up the heat at sunset. Smart home devices make keeping the temperature in your home efficient.
Interactive College of Technology’s heating, ventilation, and air conditioning residential program offers training in all phases of repair and maintenance of residential heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. The HVAC technician program also includes the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Certifications in the management of refrigerants and North American Technicians Excellence (NATE) Certifications.
An externship is a part of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning residential training program. It assigns you to a partnering company for 135 hours, allowing you to put your new skills to use and gain real-life career training experience. Plus, after you graduate, our Lifetime Career Placement Support program will help you find work whenever needed.
