Service is repairing and maintaining existing air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. From the smallest to the largest, our 5 year program covers all facets of the Piping and Air Conditioning Industry. The latest in control devices, electronic computer interfacing, energy management, building automation, variable frequency drives and fluid balancing are all covered during the 5 year service program. Service technicians tend to work individually, but can work in teams on projects that entail retrofitting older buildings with new mechanical systems.
Pipefitting is the construction side of our industry. New building installation and retrofit of piping, air handling equipment, pumps, control devices, chiller plants and cooling towers are all part of the Pipefitting curriculum. From welded to grooved pipe, from the ground to the roof our pipefitting curriculum covers everything related to the cooling, heating and process piping industry. Pipefitters tend to work in teams on larger scale projects.
