HVAC Certification
In addition to earning your HVACR Technician Certificate through U.S. Career Institute, we help prepare you to become an EPA Certified HVACR Technician. After completing our HVAC School you’ll be prepared to sit for the nationally recognized Type I, II and III EPA 608 certification exams, administered by independent third parties. According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), all HVACR techs who handle, work with, or buy refrigerants must be certified in proper refrigerant handling. You are not required to take a certification exam, however, taking this additional step can help you market yourself to potential employers and validate your HVACR knowledge.
Your EPA 608 exam fees and preparatory manual are included in your tuition – up to $185 value†
As of March 8, 2024, our program can be used to fulfill the education requirements and/or gain certification or licensure (or licensure is exempt) in all states besides WA. See state specific requirements.
Job growth for HVAC technicians is over 2x greater than all other jobs by 2032*.
No prior experience is required to become an HVAC tech.
A career as an HVAC tech offers you the benefits of security, potential for advancement, a good, steady income, a varied work environment, and the ability to make a difference.
New construction of commercial and residential buildings, along with the rising number of complex energy efficient, climate-control systems will increase the need for qualified heating, air conditioning and refrigeration installers and mechanics. And with the increased priority on pollution reduction and energy efficiency, more HVACR Technicians will be needed to upgrade, retrofit or entirely replace outdated systems.
