DES PLAINES, Ill. - The Northern Illinois Chapter of the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (NIACCA) is offering its "Heat Exchanger Experts" seminar on September 6 and September 7 at the Hyatt Woodfield in Schaumburg, Ill.

The Heat Exchanger Experts seminar teaches inspection techniques and procedures to help service technicians determine the condition of a furnace heat exchanger. Ellis Prach, a contractor for over 40 years, is the presenter. Some of the things attendees will gain from participation include:

Being able to prove heat exchanger cracks and holes to the homeowner.

Identifying defects more quickly and efficiently.

Being aware of patterns of wear and tear on all types of furnaces.

Seeing step-by-step inspection techniques.

Learning clues that tell you where to first look for cracks and holes.

More than 50 field-tested heat exchangers are brought to the class so that class participants can inspect and be trained to find the stress points and problems areas.

Class cost is $400 for NIACCA and RSES members, $475 for non-members, and prepayment is required. The class will be held from 7:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on each day.
