When You Need The Job Done Right, Go With NATE

When You Need The Job Done Right, Go With NATE

Having a certified heating and air conditioning service is not only important, but a necessity. Luckily, North American Technician Excellence (NATE) is looking out for the public. NATE, a non-profit certification program for the HVAC and refrigeration industry, is the only certification organization created and operated by those in the HVACR industry. 

Asking for NATE certification is encouraged when working with air conditioning, heating, ventilation and refrigeration technicians. The testing through “Knowledge Areas of Technician Expertise” that NATE performs on technicians represents 80 percent of situations that technicians have an 80 percent chance of dealing with during the year. The tests not only validate the technician’s knowledge but also assess a training program’s instruction.

Consumers and technicians alike can check the NATE website for testing locations, associates, utilities, manufacturers and wholesalers in the area. Not only should the NATE website notify you of the information you need, but HVAC technician’s websites should also show their certification and credentials.

Some websites can even include a “resume,” such as those found at our website, serving the greater Los Angeles area. Air-Tro includes a residential and commercial resume. These resumes will include business history and the market of the business. It also can include the types of service the business does, such as repairs, installation, system design and air filtration — as is the case with Air-Tro.
