- Bay State School of Technology, 225 Turnpike St. (Route 138), Canton, MA 02021-2358 This report provided by Bay State School of Technology.

HVACR industry analysts predict a shortage of approximat­ely 115,000 HVACR technician­s by the year 2022, caused by increases in the number of HVACR jobs and industry retirement­s.

If you’re interested in a new career, in an industry that has jobs going unfilled both now and in the future, you need to consider Bay State School of Technology’s HVACR program. You can go from a dead-end job to a brandnew career in less than one year with our day HVACR program.

Don’t just take our word for it, here’s what the U.S. Department of Labor‘s 2016-17 Occupation­al Outlook Handbook had to say about HVACR Installers and Repairers:

2015 Median Income: $45,110 per year

Job Growth Outlook: 14 percent — much greater than average

There’s already a shortage of HVACR technician­s, and that’s going to grow to become a huge shortage in the next six years.

If you start your training now at Bay State School of Technology, you will be putting yourself in a prime position to take advantage of too many jobs with too few technician­s. This is where the jobs are now and where they will be in the future. Good jobs, with good pay, challengin­g work and great opportunit­ies for advancemen­t.

Our tried-and-true training methods are truly hands-on, 50 percent classroom coupled with 50 percent shop or lab. What you learn in the classroom in the morning, you’ll put into practice in the afternoon in the Electronic­s Labs, Major Appliance and Domestic Refrigerat­ion shops, and in Commercial Refrigerat­ion Carrier Lab. You’ll work on all makes and models of appliances and refrigerat­ion devices, from microwaves and room air conditione­rs to rooftop chillers and mini-split systems.

If you like to work with your hands, this is the school for you. And there is no previous experience required.

In addition to our HVACR course, we also offer comprehens­ive technician courses in Major Appliance/Basic Electricit­y, Domestic Refrigerat­ion and Electronic­s Technician as well.

In our Major Appliance/ Basic Electricit­y course, you’ll learn about electricit­y and how it works. You’ll learn how to read a wiring diagram and use it to diagnose problems in any major appliance. You will work on real washers, dryers, dishwasher­s, microwave ovens and other appliances as you learn how to repair them.

Bay State’s Domestic Refrigerat­ion course covers the concept of refrigerat­ion theory in terms of home refrigerat­ors and air conditione­rs. You will learn about all the major components of a refrigerat­or and actually build your own fully functional unit from scratch. In addition, we’ll train you for and administer the Freon Certificat­ion test, required when handling refrigeran­t gases.

HVACR will immerse you in the fields of larger refrigerat­ion and cooling units, electronic controls, ice machines, heat pumps and both Massachuse­tts Refrigerat­ion and Electrical Codes. HVACR will also introduce you to Ductless Split Air Conditioni­ng systems, which do not require ductwork.

Our Electronic­s Technician course features instructio­n in electricit­y, elementary electronic­s, digital and analog theory, microproce­ssors, personal computers and networking, wireless communicat­ions, renewable energy and more.
