Equipment Training
According to a survey by Decision Analyst, 90% of consumers prefer a certified HVAC technician over a non-certified technician to service their heating and cooling systems. It’s no surprise that consumers want the job done right the first time. Call-backs are not only expensive to contractors but also inconvenient to the homeowner, and can undermine the relationships with your customers you have worked so hard to establish. There is no need to let an inexperienced, non-certified technician put your business at risk.

Hands-On HVAC Equipment Training
Safe & Efficient HVAC Equipment Handling
Epting Distributors is proud to offer mobile hands-on training on specially prepared demonstration units. Not just prototypes or mockups, these are real working units that can be powered up and used to demonstrate the real-life functioning of each piece of equipment.
During each class, technicians will receive a blend of theoretical and practical instruc-tion as our TSAs use working equipment to demonstrate the concepts being taught.
Through hands-on training, technicians will get a better grasp of the workings of each unit, and will be able to practice servicing them just as they would in a residential installation. The result? Your technicians will be better prepared to work on these units safely and efficiently.
Because our training units are mobile, these classes can take place indoors or out, just about anywhere that is convenient to you—such as your local Epting Distributors branch, or even your own building or parking lot.
Contact your local branch to request hands-on equipment training or get a schedule of upcoming classes in your area.
Vendor-led Sessions
Training Sessions Led By Vendor Representatives
Epting Distributors branches frequently host vendor representatives for educational sessions on their products. At these sessions, dealers get specific training on various vendor products, led by the people who know the products best.
Typically lasting from 1–4 hours, these classes are a convenient way for dealers and technicians to stay up to date on the latest equipment and get their ques-tions answered.
A few examples of recent vendor-led sessions include: Honeywell Thermostats and Zoning, Nest Wireless Controls, and Gastite Best Installation Practices.
Check our website to see what vendor-led sessions are coming up in your area, or speak to you TM or branch manager for more information.
Private Classes
Privately Held Training Sessions to Fit Your Staff’s Needs
Private classes are a great option for busy dealers who still want to keep their staff up to date with new product training, refresher courses, and certification. These sessions can be catered to the specific needs of your company and held at a date and time that is convenient for you. And with smaller groups of students that already know each other, everyone benefits from increased class participation.
The subject matter of each class is up to you. Examples include new product information and updates, Airflow, Principles of Air Conditioning & Heat Pumps, EPA review and testing, and NATE review and testing.
Private classes can be held at your offices or at another location of your choosing. There is no required minimum number of students, and Epting Distributors will supply all needed materials. You bring the students and provide the location; we do the rest.
There is no charge for most private classes. EPA and NATE classes are charged at the normal rate; however, there is no extra charge for private sessions of these classes. (EPA=$125 per person, NATE = $450 per person.)
