Hands-On Training & Lab Work
Our Heat Pump Sizing & Selection Course has numerous hands-on training components. For example, in the System Sizing and Specification part, you’ll ensure capacity at design load and minimize the need for supplemental backup, when available. You’ll also ensure the turn-down ratio is sufficient to not short-cycle at partial load by addressing a multi-split exacerbation issue with individual heads.
The training concludes with Recommended Practice Design Examples. You and other students will design a basic VCHP system for an entire house with multiple zones and varied loads. There are two example homes, common design failures/errors, and effective problem-solving techniques.

Course graduates will meet the requirements to apply as an approved Air Source Heat Pump Installer. You’ll receive the ASHP Manufacturer-Sponsored Installation Training Certificate and ASHP Manufacturer-Sponsored Cold Climate ASHP Sizing/Design Training Certificate. With these certifications, your customers can apply for utility rebates, a major differentiator in New York State.
