Course Feedback
"Very fortunate to have gone through the course I’m using everything I learned from you in the class every single day man it makes a difference wanted to say thank you again for all of the training. It’s a really really going good for me right now." - David B
"After a long on call weekend I got to use a lot of the new information I learned from Chiller Academy. It not only helped me find the problems but I did it fast and effectively I had a whole hospital down due to low chilled water volume 3 story building but only 16 psi on my loop at ground level. Quickly found large chilled water leak on the roof was able to isolate and fill loop back through bypass on the prv valve. Prv was not operational causing complete shutdown of the 3 chillers on low saturation. Greatly appreciate the information in Chiller Academy Intro to chillers. Wouldn't even be close to finding a problem like this before taking your course." - LJ M.
"Whether you are just starting your journey into chillers or a seasoned chiller tech, there is an abundance of information to be gained from this training! From the nuances of the basic operation to model specific information, this training sets you up to walk up to a chiller with the confidence of knowing what it is supposed to do and troubleshoot from there. 10 out of 10, recommended training." - Phil M.
"I really think your a great teacher you bring it down Barney style and explain things better than a school house would." - Piotr S.
"Great job. Looking forward to honing my skills and updating my knowledge on the different models of chillers in the field." - Benny
"I'll take this. My trade school failed me, made me wish I just did an apprenticeship from the start." - B. Love
"WOW, just started working on chillers in the past year, this is amazing." - NC
"Great beginner's course. As a older chiller tech, screws and centrifugals. It was great refresher for me." - George B.
"I have really been enjoying the courses so far I am about 70% through. Although I don’t get to touch chillers everyday I have found myself making solid connections from these courses." - Jacob K.
"It’s great! You are going over each concept/metric/vitals/function in simple way, yet in depth. I use to think that it needs more live examples… till I started applying what I have learned here on live equipment. Just by looking and monitoring, a lot made connection in my head" - Tom S.
"I really enjoyed this academy. I enjoyed the format where I can watch it at my own pace, the questions before some lessons, I appreciate the comment sections. I enjoy to hear other opinions not just from you but also the community. A good amount in this academy I have seen or heard of but a fair amount I have not gone into depth with. Specifically, the lessons on screw chiller operations and the schematic lessons, brazed plate economizers and the economizer on a trane centravac are things I have struggled with understanding but now after reading and watching these videos, I have much more confidence." - Nick C.
"This was a very valuable class and i learned a lot and i also refreshed my knowledge on the basics of chillers." - Gabby O.
"Overall this is an amazing course and we will be having more of our technicians enrolling and completing this as they begin their journey into chillers at Airtight Facilitech out of Charlotte, NC. thank you very much for the time, energy and effort put into this!" - Phillip M.
"Awesome! tons of education and interaction. I will definitely be spreading the word and continuing to support." - Anthony M.
"I have really enjoyed the introduction to chiller course. It was a refresher for some things but definitely learned a lot of new information along the way. I really like the format with the videos and reading material also." - Brian T.
"I have sat through a few manufacturer's training and those where 20% sales pitch where as long as your butt was in the seat at 8 when they called role your "certificate" would be ready for you at the end of the week. I thoroughly enjoyed this training. I have learned more in my time in this training than I have with the manufacture's and my "Journeyman". I still have a lot to learn, and feel like I have only scratched the surface, but I believe this is as strong as a foundational training you could have." - Troy P.
"ALOT of good information. I liked the thoroughness of every component you covered. Very much enjoyed it and will continue to look at more training opportunities though the Chiller Academy" - Blane M.
"Great. Very informative. Test was very challenging. Would recommend to any technician wanting to learn more about chillers." - Jason S.
"Very good. Learned a lot very grateful for this course has helped me in the field. Enjoyed it" - Julio E.
"I couldn't be more happy with the chiller academy. It is very clear how serious you take this and that means a lot when putting in all the time to learn. I had zero experience with chillers prior to this course and I feel like I can at least navigate a machine and have a grasp on submittals and IOMs. I have MCS training at Dunham-Bush in a couple weeks, I would have been screwed without this course. I have recommended this course to several people already and will continue to recommend. Thank you for putting in the extra effort to make this course exceptional." - Maxwell H.
"It was great, I learned a lot and feel I have a solid foundation to build off of." - Blake M.
"Really informative. I am a person who is eager for knowledge. I want to have a deep understanding of the equipment and fundamentals so I can be a quality tech. This class has helped fill the gaps in my knowledge and build my confidence as a technician. I have recommended this program to anyone who is interested in chiller work, and I thank you for what you have created here." - Aaron B.
"Informative, I have learned more about centrifugal chillers taking this class than I knew before, it is a lot to learn but this class has helped. Thank you" - Jason P.
"Fantastic, I learned alot in this course. I've been trying very hard to get into the chiller side of the industry for the last 4 years and have been having a hard time with employers/managers giving me the opportunity to start working on this kind of equipment. My goal is to be able to show this knowledge to either my current managers or another company to get my goal of working on chillers. When I first learned about chillers in my night classes for trade school it's all I've ever wanted to work on, I've always found chillers to be the most interesting kind of equipment to work on." - Daniel B.
"A+ anyone who says other wise is just a complainer, all the questions you can not get answered were answered and you are getting a education from years of experience" - Thomas C.
"It was great. I really appreciate the effort and seriousness that has been put into this course. This has been well worth the money and has exceeded my expectations from when I first initially signed up. Thank you." Jacob K.
"This course is awesome, I have learned a great deal from it. i do want to go through the course again, i feel there were some subjects that i need to review to ensure that i have a better understanding. i want to be able to explain it as a professional technician could. such as yourself." - Rodrigo A.
"I've been working on chillers day by day for the last 2 years on my own. From my in field experience and the theory part ive gathered along with this personal experience / theory lessons i learned a mountain full of skills. Its hard to, not only find someone that wants to teach you what they know, but have the time as well for them to pass you the good hidden "secret" tips and tricks of the trade. Theres so much to learn to where it gets to the point where you just have to learn enough to be dangerous to be able to go off and run calls on your own and then you slowly start to learn your true "do's and don't ever again do's". Thank you for passing on information in this field, I just turned 28 and ive been doing commercial air conditiong full time since 2018." - Jesus G-L
"I had some experience with air cooled chillers and have been around some water-cooled equipment. but I never really understood how the economizers worked or that they maintain a flooded type of evaporator. And many other things. I know this is just a beginning for me into being a true chiller tech. but now I have the confidence to ask the right questions. I feel like as a beginner you really don't even know, what you don't know? If that makes any sense at all? I am very pleased with the knowledge I have gained from you. Thank you for taking the time for this and for being a great example for me and others to follow!" - Kevin L.
"First off this was the best class I have taken in my years in the trade. In about October I was roughly 45% through and started grinding mostly everyday at work on lunch breaks and some time at home. The class clarified so many things I was either misunderstanding or didn’t have a grasp on and now I feel like I’m on the right direction. I know I have a long way to go but I have the confidence to step into the plants and feel capable that I’m able to diagnose and assess issues. While taking the class I’ve been lucky to have taken a recent lesson that got me through some chiller service calls." - Curren F.
This level of comprehensive training typically costs $10,000 to $20,000 and requires 5 years to complete with minimal ongoing support.
