As GHP systems capture an increasing portion of the HVAC market, the need for competent installers grows as well.
Good training makes for successful installations.
GHP systems are simple in operation, relatively maintenance free, and boast a lifetime expectancy greater than conventional systems, but proper installation procedures are a prerequisite for a trouble-free system that operates at peak efficiency. Organizers of local training need to provide their own demonstration equipment as well as classroom facilities. Prospective trainers must be confident enough of their knowledge and skills to impart them to others. Those who could benefit from trainers on their staffs include utilities, universities, vocational-technical institutions, and equipment manufacturers. As demand for accredited installers has grown, so has the need for regional trainers.
