HVAC Excellence released its newest technician certification -- "Master Specialist." Experienced technicians who pass a written and hands-on exam earn Master Specialist certification status.

The certifications are in the following categories: residential air-conditioning, gas heat, oil heat, heat pumps, light commercial air-conditioning, light commercial refrigeration, low-pressure radiant heat and combustion analysis.

The typical hands-on certification test takes four to six hours to complete. Techs who successfully pass a Master Specialist Certification will receive a mounted wall certificate and patch.
