Advance beyond the basics of HVAC troubleshooting and maintenance. Maintaining air conditioning systems is two-fold. Troubleshooting and immediate action is required to repair issues as they occur. And proper preventive maintenance can lessen the frequency of the problems and lengthen equipment life. This course assumes that the participants have a basic understanding of air conditioning systems and focuses on advance concepts.

Are there cold rooms in your office? Do people complain about the different temperatures in the office? If so, then your cooling system is out of balance. National averages indicate that most AC systems operate at 50-60% efficiency and out of balance.
This training program builds on our basic and advanced AC courses and is all about how to move air / water to the proper place in a building. Air – for AC systems, Water – for Chiller Systems. This is a step-by-step HOW to evaluate what you have and change it to optimal state for performance. By doing so, you’ll save money on energy use and prolong the life of your equipment system. This course assumes a basic knowledge of HVAC principles.

Boiler maintenance is critical to determining the life of a boiler. Today’s attention to maintenance affects tomorrow’s bottom line. A well-maintained boiler system is reliable and can last 25 years or more. Regardless, it experiences a lot of wear and tear. In this boiler training course, we teach preventative maintenance to counteract some of the deterioration.
We also discuss the common failures and how to diagnose, troubleshoot and fix them.
Through hands-on exercises, participants of the boiler maintenance training will gain a basic understanding of operator responsibilities related to safety, reliability and efficiency of residential, commercial and industrial boiler systems.

NTT’s EPA 608 Certification Exam Preparation & Proctoring course helps technicians meet EPA requirements for handling regulated refrigerants under Section 608 of the Clean Air Act.
We offer two convenient options designed for different experience levels:
4-Hour Certification Orientation & Testing
This half-day session is ideal for experienced HVAC technicians who are already confident in their knowledge and simply need an overview of the online testing process before taking the EPA 608 certification exam.
Includes:
- Orientation to the ESCO online exam process
- Review of testing logistics, categories, and requirements
- Opportunity for short Q&A with the instructor
- Proctored EPA 608 certification exam (online or paper)
8-Hour Review, Preparation & Testing
This one-day course is best for technicians who want to refresh their understanding of key refrigeration principles before testing.
Includes:
- 4-hour instructor-led review session covering:
- Refrigeration cycle fundamentals
- Refrigerant handling and recovery procedures
- EPA compliance and safety requirements
- 4-hour proctored EPA 608 certification exam (online or paper)
Both course options use ESCO Institute’s official preparation and testing materials and provide technicians the opportunity to earn their EPA 608 certification in a single session.
Our air conditioning training & refrigeration training covers the maintenance of air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The training program includes troubleshooting and immediate action required to repair issues as they occur and proper preventive maintenance can lessen the frequency of the problems and lengthen equipment life.
This training program helps technicians with both scenarios above in a hands-on environment that simulates maintenance issues occurring in the real world. Participants of this air conditioning training will practice with the test instruments used in the trade. Service equipment such as manifold gauges, recovery machines, vacuum pumps, charging scales, leak detections, and micron gauges are also used in the hands-on labs.
Upon request, we offer 608, 410A EPA and HVAC Excellent Technician Certificate testing at the end of this course.

Learn guidelines to select the most suitable process for joining copper and copper alloy components in air conditioning and refrigeration system. Discover cost effective installation methods that are also clean and debris free.
Learn brazing, proper procedures for flaring, swaging and leak testing techniques, while ensuring safety and standard compliance.
Brazing depends on the ability of the filler metal to penetrate, by capillary attraction, small gaps between the metal surfaces to be joined. Under suitable conditions, the brazing alloy wets and bonds by surface diffusion alloying to form a strong joint. It is important to ensure that the joint preparation takes full advantage of the capillary penetration of the molten filler alloy.
This course stresses the proper Nitrogen purging through an air conditioning or a refrigeration system that will reduce copper oxidation. This process will reduce compressor failure rates and reduce the moisture inside a system. Ester oil that is in the HFC refrigerant system will breakdown at 50 ppm of moisture in the oil. In a vacuum of 250 microns, the moisture in the ester oil is still above 80 ppm of moisture. This will cause an increase in the acid in a system.

Learn how to maintain peak efficiencies of heating & ventilation (HV) systems while minimizing the risk of downtime due to unscheduled maintenance and repair. Since HV system problems are electrical, this heating and ventilation training teaches you about the proper procedures and equipment for electrical safety testing. Electrical test meters are also important. If you take a Lab-based training program, these skills are practiced in hands-on exercises with the actual type of test instruments, such as an ohmmeter, voltmeter and ammeter.

A steam system uses steam boilers to generate steam within a heat system to do industrial work such as turning a turbine to produce electricity, processing materials like food or fiber, or heating a building.
This course covers steam as a system and process. Recognizing that a boiler is a step in the process and not the whole process, students will learn about traps, distribution systems, steam system joints, common maintenance issues and how to diagnose them, steam system safety. Students learn how to audit and document the steam system to maintain optimal safety, performance, and energy efficiency.

Understand the Water Treatment process, beyond what their current water treatment chemical supplier shares about the overall Water Treatment process, to maximize your equipment lifecycle and manage treatment costs.
Starting with the basic understanding of why Water Treatment is needed, our expert instructor will coach/review the basics of Water Treatment and discuss the best practices used for both Steam Boiler systems and Chilled Water systems. The instructor will demonstrate water testing procedures using test strips and meters.
A recommended option includes conducting a field process workshop – a process and procedure review on your systems. Our instructor will review your specific water treatment method with the class, giving feedback on your processes, choice of treatment, and specific best practices.
