Why Use Companies with NATE Certification?

NATE (North American Technical Excellence) is the leading certification program for HVAC technicians and provides the only testing that is recognized and supported by the entire HVAC industry.

87% of consumers demand technician excellence. NATE-certified technicians deliver. The certification is voluntary, and to date there are only about 23,000 NATE-certified technicians in the entire United States. NATE tests are rigorous tests that relate to a technician’s applied knowledge in Service and Installation. Technicians must pass both a CORE program and one of two SPECIALTIES. Certification by NATE means customer assurance because it means getting the best installation and service the HVAC industry has to offer. Today more than ever, your HVAC technician needs extensive knowledge and a wide skill-base to service your needs in our computerized world.
