When your furnace or air conditioner is on the fritz, you want to make sure that the technician working on it knows what he or she is doing. Because furnaces and air conditioners have many complex components, knowing that the technician has NATE certification is the first step to knowing that the job will be done properly.
The North American Technician Excellence (NATE) certification process teaches aspiring technicians what they need to know to be qualified specialists in the following HVAC-related systems. Each of the systems below require taking multiple classes and passing tests before a student earns his or her certification.
- Air conditioning units
- Air distribution throughout the home
- Gas/oil furnaces
- Hydronics oil/gas
- Commercial refrigeration
- Heat pumps
Having a NATE certified technician work on your home’s heating or cooling system gives you the piece of mind of knowing that your technician has the skills and training to complete the task properly. Whether it’s a simple filter replacement or installation of an entirely new system, this training and expertise translates into a high-quality job that you know will last for years to come.
Furthermore, NATE certified technicians are highly skilled at determining problems before they become major issues. Since many HVAC-related breakdowns begin gradually and build over time, a certified technician can discover these before they inconvenience you or lead to costly repairs that in many cases can be avoided. For this reason, it is advisable that you have your systems tested annually and as part of an overall service plan that will help keep your system running smoothly throughout the year.
