Air conditioning represents the largest segment of residential HVAC service calls. Central split systems dominate existing homes, while ductless mini-splits are the fastest-growing segment in new construction and retrofits. This course prepares you to service both — confidently and profitably.
Comprehensive coverage of both traditional central split systems and modern ductless mini-split heat pumps — the two dominant AC technologies in today's market.
Understand the science of cooling — thermodynamics, psychrometric charts, and the properties of R-410A, R-32, and next-generation refrigerants.
Brazing, evacuation, nitrogen purge, vacuum procedures, refrigerant charging, and system startup — the skills that separate installers from professionals.
Superheat, subcooling, airflow measurement, electrical fault isolation, and the systematic diagnostic reasoning that solves problems fast.
Variable-speed compressors, EEV control, multi-zone configurations, and the communication protocols that make modern mini-splits work.
Content maps directly to EPA 608 (Type II & Universal) and NATE AC Installation & Service certification requirements.
Every lesson is built around one principle: understanding why a system works is the fastest path to diagnosing why it doesn't.
Establishes the thermodynamic principles that govern every air conditioning system, including psychrometric data interpretation and modern refrigerant properties.
By the end of this course, you'll be able to install, service, and troubleshoot both central split systems and ductless mini-splits. These are the exact skills that employers and service managers are looking for.
