Keeping your home comfortable and energy efficient should be a year-round priority, and this means ensuring your heating and cooling system is always in tip-top shape. But age and serious operational issues can negatively affect its performance, at times prompting a furnace repair or air conditioning replacement. Should this be the case, you’ll want to get a reliable contractor to do the job, but don’t hire just any HVAC expert–make sure to choose a NATE-certified one. Air Products & Services, your premier HVAC company in the area, discusses more about it here.
What is NATE Certification?
NATE refers to North American Technician Excellence, an independent organization that provides certification to HVAC installation and service technicians through a stringent knowledge-based test. Some of the prominent organizations that are part of the NATE coalition include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers. Air Products & Services is proud to have earned the distinction of being a NATE-certified HVAC company.
How Does One Become NATE Certified?
An HVAC contractor will need to pass either an installation or service test with a score of 70 or higher in both the core and specialty parts. The specialty exam includes knowledge of heat pumps, air conditioning, air distribution, oil heat and gas heat. Those who pass are certified by NATE, confirming that they’re the best in the trade when it comes to knowledge and experience in AC repair or installation, along with other HVAC services and solutions.
