Cooper&Hunter and Tropic Supply Donate Six Mini-split Training Modules to Daytona State College HVACR Program

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Cooper&Hunter, in conjunction with Sunrise, Florida-based Tropic Supply, has gifted Daytona State College six complete HVAC systems.

The on-campus working stations, which include units from Cooper&Hunter’s modern “Sophia Mini-Split Single Zone Series,” will give students hands-on learning opportunities with mini-split technology that is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S.

As U.S. consumers are becoming more eco-conscious, the mini-split market is growing.

Daytona State College has already expressed great appreciation.

“We do appreciate the hard work that you and your service technician put in today,” said Robbie Phillips, HVAC instructor at the school of workforce careers and advanced technology college. “You have left us with very professional looking mini-split systems that will assist us with training for years to come. Looking forward to working with you in the future.”

Marat Terchiyev, CEO, Cooper&Hunter, also expressed his thoughts on the collaboration: “At Cooper&Hunter, we feel that supporting development in the HVAC industry is not only our duty but also our pleasure. Making donations to educational programs is beneficial for everyone involved. Both instructors and students get hands-on access to modern tools, ensuring that HVAC newcomers enter the workforce with practical knowledge, confidence, and experience.”

Heather Anusbigian, marketing director of Tropic Supply, said, “Tropic Supply has a long history of supporting the contractor community. It is our honor and privilege to offer training and support to the future of our industry. We sincerely appreciate our partnership with Cooper and Hunter, which made this donation possible.”
