Welcome

This blog is being created as a service for the local chapter of the Refrigeration Service Engineer Society. Don't let the title of the chapter convince you that it is only for Refrigeration. It is for refrigeration, but also for all aspects of the HVAC(Heating, Ventilation, and Air conditioning) industry. I'm going to try and post some articles that will be helpful for the service tech but also talk in language that every homeowner can understand. Service techs and homeowners can interact with each other and help each other.It would be great if anyone would post comments/ questions that we all could respond to with our knowledge. Hey, if you don't know the right answer how are you going to learn if you don't ask. Everybody can learn from everybody else.

Speak about learning, three of our local chapter members are poised to take to exam for the first year of the self study course that RSES intl. offers. I think this is an exceptional accomplishment, especially that these men have had to do all the work on their own. I won't publish their names until they pass the exam.

Hey homeowners! If you want a reputalble, qualified service tech at your house you better ask some tough questions of the HVAC contractor. Like is he or she NATE certified? Does he or she even know what NATE is? Run for the hills if you don't get the right answer.

Our local RSES chapter will sponsor NATE core and specialty testing in September.I'm hoping for a good response. This will be the second time that our little chapter is sponsoring this testing.

More to come later.
