Our 1st Year Sarasota campus class, taught by Jeff Purcella, was able to cover a lot of material, including building a working system they later converted into a trainer for future technicians. Thank you to the generous donation from Aqua Plumbing & Air to help make this project possible. All of the students successfully passed their EPA and HVAC Excellence exams. These certifications provided the apprentices a great head start in their careers.

Charging Systems with Accumulators
In air conditioning service, we don't always see systems with accumulators. In fact, they are pretty uncommon unless you work on a lot of heat pumps. However, as heat pumps gain popularity, charging systems with accumulators will be a good skill to have in your tool bag. Read more here on best practices for charging an accumulator system.
