NADCA 2011 Technical Conference

August 25-27    

DoubleTree by Hilton Philadelphia Center City 

NADCA's 2011 Technical Conference is a one-stop shop for training and certification. Attendees will earn all six NADCA CECs through this event and can pick up a new certification in the process.  

An optional pre-conference, set for Thursday, August 25 and the morning of Friday, August 26, will feature both the ASCS and CVI training classes and certification exams. The exams will also be administered on Sunday, August 28 for those planning to attend the Technical Conference.  

The Technical Conference begins on Friday, August 26, and will include two distinct learning tracks -- one for newer technicians, and an advanced track for industry professionals who want to develop a greater depth of knowledge and a more comprehensive set of skills.

The General Sessions taking place at this event were developed to provide in-depth discussions about important aspects of our industry. Attendees will go home with new approaches that will improve the way they perform their jobs. The three General Sessions will cover the following topics: NADCA Verification of HVAC System Cleanliness; Duct Sealing & Leakage Testing; and Equipment Maintenance.

The first General Session will cover all three methods used to verify the cleanliness of an HVAC system. During the second General Session, attendees will learn how to present duct sealing and leakage testing services to customers as a way to reduce home heating and cooling costs. The final General Session will include discussions on how to properly maintain and monitor HVAC cleaning tools and equipment.

This Technical Conference covers not only HVAC system cleaning, but also the broader HVAC restoration market. You'll learn new services that will add value for your clients and profits to your bottom line.
