EPA and NATE Testing Selection According to a survey by Decision Analyst Inc., 90 percent of consumers prefer a certified HVACR technician to service their heating and cooling systems. It is no surprise that consumers want a job done right the first time. Call-backs are not only expensive to you and inconvenient to your customers, they can undermine the relationships with your customers you have worked so hard to establish. Do not let an inexperienced, non-certified technician put your business at risk. Testing can be arranged for training centers at any of our seven convenient locations.

EPA Testing Test Date: 09/08/2016 Fee: $75 The EPA passed regulations concerning the proper handling of refrigerants (Clean Air Act, Section 608).
