Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC 

The Electrical, Plumbing & HVAC program is a two-year program. Basic Skills taught in this program include the installation, on-going operation, and troubleshooting of residential wiring, plumbing, and heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration systems. The course will teach knowledge and skills in basic electricity, installation of wiring, outlets, switches, blueprint reading, sheet metal patterns, brazing, soldering, duct fabrication, low voltage thermostat wiring, black iron gas line, furnace operation and troubleshooting, power tool usage, basic plumbing, refrigeration servicing and operation, and PVC/PEX. The goals of the program are to train the student for entry-level job positions, encouraging them to further their knowledge in apprenticeship programs and technical schools. The class also offers a chance to study for and take the EPA 608 Refrigeration License exam. Students completing the two-year program will have the opportunity to earn one-year credit towards apprenticeship training through the Plumbers & Steamfitters Local 166 JATC program. In order for apprenticeship credit to be earned, a student must first be accepted into the JATC program. If students continue their education at  University of Northwest Ohio, an articulation agreement exists. If students continue at Lincoln Tech, an affiliation exists. In addition to this, employers visit the class throughout the year to offer job opportunities and begin conversations with students leading up to them graduating.
