HART 1403 - Air Conditioning Principles

Students in this class will further hone and polish the skills they acquired in HART 1401 Basic Electricity for HVAC by testing actual A/C components. This course is the basic study of electrical, pressure, and temperature controls including motor starting devices, with emphasis on drawing and wiring A/C controls and circuits.

This course consists of instructor-led lectures, theory based instructional materials, with the majority of the curriculum being “Hands-On” lab exercises. If you are looking for an action packed course with plenty of hands on training - then you will thoroughly enjoy this course.

The proof is in the pudding when the student is able to

  • draw the electrical schematics of the system
  • test the individual components
  • actually wire the components to create a working A/C system.
