You can study online to obtain a Heating and Refrigeration career diploma, and become an HVAC technician in your spare time. A distance learning course is a convenient method for working adults to get an education in HVAC without forfeiting current employment, and several schools offer training online. An accredited online school teaches maintenance, diagnostics, and problem solving for heating and refrigeration (HVAC) systems. Students learn to install major heating, ventilation, and air conditioning appliances and units, and to maintain the mechanical components, such as motors, compressors, pumps, fans, ducts, and pipes. Aspiring HVAC technicians also learn to repair the electrical components of heating and refrigeration systems. Students who like to work with their hands will enjoy learning about all the components of HVAC, including single-phase, and multi-phase motors; motor controls; thermostats; bearings; lubrication; power transmission; electrical connections; electromagnetic controls; transformers; circuit protection; evaporating and condensing units; filter dryers; heat exchangers; refrigerants; water chillers; defrost systems; valves; flow controls; compressors; heat pumps; gas furnaces; electric heat; and much, much more. Through distance learning, students can focus on HVAC technology, standards and guidelines relating to heating and refrigeration systems, building codes, indoor and outdoor air quality, safety and classification of refrigerants, and practical applications. An online education prepares future HVAC technicians for EPA certification, and qualifies them for professional licensure.
