Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) Program
Overview
For every building that is built, there is a need for skilled professionals to keep them running. HVAC/R professionals are trained to understand the systems that are responsible for the regulation of heat, airflow, ventilation, and air conditioning inside a building. The majority of buildings being built in the modern era rely on heating and cooling to provide comfort to those inside it, making HVAC/R workers a valuable asset in today’s society.
TMCC offers a Construction Technologies AAS, with emphases in HVAC/R and HVAC/R Critical Systems, as well as many skill certificates and stackable credentials that will prepare you for the workplace.
