The HVACR program provides instruction in

air conditioning, heating, and refrigeration.

Introductory courses in electricity, electric

motors, and theory of refrigeration are

included. Advanced work in the commercial

area includes work on reach-in and walk-in

units found in stores, dairies, and markets.

Other areas of study include uses of air

conditioning, temperature and humidity

control, air circulation, cleaning, installation,

and troubleshooting of equipment. Students

are required to provide their own basic tools,

and to take a national exit exam which will

give passing students national recognition on

an A.R.I. (Air Conditioning and Refrigeration

Institute) National Registry, which goes to

Refrigeration, Heating and Air Conditioning

employers.

For students interested in Sustainable

Programs, please see pages 180-181 for

options, or contact the identified department

chair for more information.

HVAC/R ENGINEERING

TECHNOLOGY

Degree: Associate in Applied Science,

HVAC/R Engineering Technology

Plan 24RD

The Residential HVAC A.A.S. program prepares

students for service and installation positions

with specialization in the design, layout,

installation, and service of residential HVAC

equipment. Students acquire skills in safety,

HVAC principles, soldering and brazing,

mechanical and electrical troubleshooting,

refrigerant handling, the use of refrigerant

gauges, and electrical test equipment.

The Residential HVAC curriculum is aligned

with the educational standards of the

Partnership for Air Conditioning, Heating,

Refrigeration Accreditation (PAHRA) and the

Illinois Occupational Skill Standards for HVACR.

HET courses in A/C split-systems, residential

HVAC systems, air movement and ventilation,

advanced electrical, HVACR codes, EPA and

158 2021-2022 College of Lake County Catalog

NATE certification preparation, hydronic

heating, and a HET capstone course meet recertification requirements for NATE.

The Residential HVAC program is a partner of

the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration

Institute (AHRI). Upon completion of a second

semester course students qualify to sit for

the Industry Competency Examination (ICE), a

nationally recognized credential in the HVACR

industry which provides passing students

national recognition on an AHRI or North

American Technician Excellence (NATE) national

registry distributed to heating, ventilation, air

conditioning, and refrigeration employers.

Note: Students are required to provide their

own basic tools.

To complete an A.A.S., students are strongly

encouraged to meet with an Academic Success

Advisor to identify coursework that will meet

degree requirements.
