Program Description The program provides a solid foundation in the principles of air conditioning and refrigeration. Instruction is given by classroom demonstrations and laboratory experiments in refrigeration fundamentals; electricity and controls; and installing, operating, servicing and repairing air conditioning & refrigeration equipment. Students work on commercial refrigeration and air conditioning equipment, including heat pumps, ice machines, oil and gas systems. Students will design, construct, and evaluate refrigeration systems. State of the art, modern equipment with all of the commonly used refrigerants is available for students to gain "hands-on" experience. Students also receive related training in shop management and customer relations.

Note: This program is eligible for federal financial aid and state bright futures.
