HVAC – Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration
Heating and air-conditioning systems control the temperature, humidity, and the total air quality in residential, commercial, industrial, and other buildings. Refrigeration systems make it possible to store and transport food, medicine, and other perishable items.
Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and technicians install, maintain, and repair such systems. Because heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems often are referred to as HVACR systems, these workers are called HVACR technicians.
