Hands-on Refrigerant Charge Measurement @ Johnstone Supply - Fresno
Apr 13 @ 8:00 am – 12:00 pm

Class Overview: A residential split system air conditioner undergoes its final assembly at the time of installation. An important factor is the amount of refrigerant in the system (commonly referred to as proper charging). Air conditioner energy efficiency suffers if the refrigerant charge is either too low or too high. This training is designed to assist HERS Raters and HVAC technicians to properly perform a Refrigerant Charge verification. This is a Hands-on class with operational equipment. Please feel free to bring your verification equipment.
