In 1994, HVAC Excellence was formed to grow and prosper the next generation of HVAC service technicians through a regimented technician certification program. After 20 years, the group recently issued its 200,000th certification, surpassing its initial purpose while also growing and expanding into a diverse resource for HVAC professionals.

“The actual process of HVAC certification is an aid in identifying the scope and level of a technician’s retained knowledge and competency,” said Thomas Tebbe, national programs director, HVAC Excellence. “HVAC Excellence offers programs for students, experienced technicians, and educators that are designed to educate throughout each stage of their careers. Through progressive levels of certification, HVAC Excellence identifies if individuals have mastered a subject area or need additional training at a specific stage in their careers.”
