The HVAC/Industrial Maintenance Program provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to assemble, install, troubleshoot, repair, and modify machinery and systems that are mechanically or electronically controlled in residential, commercial, and manufacturing environments. This program includes training in heating, venting, air conditioning, refrigeration, air distribution, plumbing, pipe fitting, and electrical systems.
