MOUNT LAUREL, N.J. — The National Air Duct Cleaners Association (NADCA) — also known as the HVAC Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Association — will hold its its 2023 Fall Technical Conference September 8 and 9 at the Embassy Suites in Grapevine, Texas, just outside Dallas.
NADCA’s annual Fall Technical Conference provides education for duct-cleaning technicians throughout every stage of their careers, the association said in a press release. It features hands-on training during which attendees can use real-world scenarios to develop practical skills. Technicians will work with tools, equipment, and technologies specific to the HVAC cleaning, inspection, and restoration industry.
“What’s special about Fall Tech is that attendees learn by doing. This conference encourages technicians to roll up their sleeves and get actively involved in the learning process by working directly with the tools, equipment, and technologies that are used daily in our industry,” said Jodi Araujo, the NADCA CEO. “With hands-on training, technicians dive right into the action, and develop expertise and technical skills that can be applied directly to day-to-day job tasks.
“Attendees also will experience our always-popular virtual-reality training,” Araujo continued. “Technicians can put on a headset and virtually enter a mechanical room in a commercial facility or an environment typical of a residential setting, effectively gaining another great experience to fine-tune their skills and learn new tips and tricks.”
In addition, technicians seeking Air Systems Cleaning Specialist (ASCS) or Certified Ventilation Inspector (CVI) certifications will have the opportunity to participate in a pre-conference training course September 7 and take the exam for both.
Educational sessions, led by industry experts, will be available on a variety of topics, including HVAC system inspections and assessments, air handler restoration and maintenance, client acquisition and customer development, and safety in HVAC work
“NADCA’s Fall Technical Conference is known for dynamic and interactive training sessions,” Araujo said. “It’s an incredible opportunity to actively and collaboratively engage with the subject matter, and learn to put theory into practice while gaining valuable experience along the way.”
