HVAC/R

East Central College offers a program of study leading to an Associates of Applied Science in Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration. Students will learn the basics of installation, maintenance, and repair, preparing them to enter the workforce as technicians. People have always sought ways to make their environment more comfortable. Today's air conditioning and heating systems control the temperature, humidity, and cleanliness of the air in homes, offices, factories, and schools. Controlling the environment is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Modern refrigeration systems make it possible to safely store food, drugs, and other perishable items. Energy efficiency and the cost of operation of HVAC/R equipment affects us all as a society and individuals.

East Central offers two tracks in HVAC/R including a Day and and Evening part-time option. Please consult degree plans and meet with the ECC HVAC/R Program Coordinator/Instructor for advisement.
