Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Apprentice
You will install, maintain, repair and operate heating plants, systems and equipment, which operate on oil, gas or coal. Your duties could entail working on anything from a room space heater up to a base heating plant. Most people have either gas or electric furnaces in their homes. Most large buildings have boilers, which heat water into steam, which is used to heat the entire base. You will be working with furnaces, boilers, stoves, heat exchangers, burners, blowers, fans and radiant heaters. Also, you will learn how to use high- and low-pressure systems with oil-, gas- or coal-heated furnaces and boilers. You will install, operate, maintain, modify and repair refrigeration, heating plants, systems and equipment, which operate on all types of air conditioning; evaporative cooling; air compressing; and ventilation equipment, plants and systems, including portable units other than Aerospace Ground Equipment (AGE). These may be large cold storage systems, package-type air conditioners and large industrial cooling systems. You are also responsible for maintaining electric, electronic and pneumatic controls associated directly with the refrigeration/cooling equipment. PAY CHART
