Heat Pump Installation – Basic

The intent of the course is to introduce the student to proper procedures on how to install a heat pump, helping them understand and learn in the field with a qualified individual.​ This microcredential will introduce participants to the following concepts:

• Sequence of operation of a heat pump system both mechanically and electrically
• More complicated electrical wiring diagrams and how to interpret them
• How to determine electrical and mechanical problems
• How to detect and find refrigerant leaks and repair
• Participants will also work on various systems used in the residential field.

Entry in HVAX 3200 requires one of the following: Red Seal: Sheet Metal, Plumber, Electrician, or Gas Fitter.

Upon successful completion of this course, the student will be able to:

• ​Understand the basic principles of heat transfer and thermodynamics relevant to heat pump operation
• Identify different types of heat pumps and their respective applications
• Demonstrate knowledge of the components and parts required for a heat pump system installation
• Perform proper refrigerant handling and charging procedures in compliance with environmental regulations
• Evaluate site conditions and factors affecting heat pump performance, such as insulation and air-flow

Heat pumps help reduce the energy consumption, operating costs, and environmental impacts associated with the residential or industrial heating and cooling.
