This four-day intensive technical class is for HVAC contractors
stepping up to home & duct PERFORMANCE This four-day intensive
technical class is for HVAC contractors stepping up to home & duct
performance. Participants learn the fundamental skills to perform
diagnostics and repair. They will also learn the requirements — and
be prepared for — the BPI Building Analyst and Envelope Professional
online certification exams that are given on day five. These BPI exams
are available for all attendees, but each exam is optional.
What You Should Know
Today, many homeowners experience problems that simple HVAC equipment
cannot solve. A contractor who understands the “House as a System”
has a leg up on the competition. Participants in this class leave with
a great understanding of how problems can be diagnosed and what they
can do to repair them. Although the class is technical, attendees will
also learn what it takes to generate leads and close more sales. In
addition, this class gets you prepared for the BPI written exam. Get
prepared…you don’t get involved in home performance because of
programs…but home performance allows you take part in programs that
come up. In order however they require certification and the BPI
certifications is what they want. So sign up…get your people trained
turn problems into sales and be ready.
