This two-day workshop is designed to help HVAC professionals identify duct issues, accurately measure and size duct systems, and dispel common myths. By understanding the importance of proper duct design, participants will learn how to dramatically reduce the time spent solving problems while increasing comfort and lowering utility costs for customers.
This is not your typical boring class. It is highly interactive, with opportunities for participants to ask questions, engage in live classroom work, and participate in mock-up home designs that simulate real-world scenarios. Be prepared for hands-on activities that will deepen your understanding and prepare you for challenges in the field.
We promise this class will be both interesting and educational —we’re going to have a great time learning. It’s Go Time!
