Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Technology

Classes in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) program at Ivy Tech are labs based with almost every class meeting having a hands-on portion where students will train and work on actual furnace and air conditioning equipment. This lab allows students to gain experience in equipment installation, charging air conditioning units and troubleshooting equipment failures. Our students will also learn about energy-saving equipment like solar thermal, thermal storage, geothermal, air and hot water zoning systems and HVAC building automation systems. In some cases, students will be able to take part in community service by assisting local churches and food banks with their HVAC needs.
