  • Our Program

    Humber’s program prepares students for a career as a heating (gas and oil), refrigeration and air conditioning technician. You will ac­quire a broad knowledge of the design, installation and service techniques of heating and air conditioning systems in residential and commercial buildings. Students learn to size, select and maintain equipment for building comfort utilizing various industry standards.
     

    Your Career

    Your Career

    Today’s residential central air conditioning systems are up to 35 per cent more energy-efficient than the ones that were typically installed in the 1990s. This is just one example of how this sector is addressing Canadians’ concerns about rising energy prices and the environment in practical and effective ways. Work with design contractors in designing, installing, servicing, or retrofitting heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) equipment. As well, there are opportunities to work as a sales representative, specifications writer or service representative. With experience, graduates can become estimators, working with plans and specifications to determine material and labour requirements in preparation of contract bids.
     

  • Industry Partnerships

    Partnerships include Carrier Canada, Sporlan Valve, York International, Refrigeration Ser­vice Engineers Society (RSES) – Ontario Maple Leaf Chapter, DuPont Canada, Lennox Canada, and Engineered Air.
     

  • Workplacement

    Students are responsible for arranging their own four-month (minimum 400 hours) paid work term. It normally takes place from May through August following semester four. Students receive career management support to help them develop effective job search skills, prior to the work term. The school provides a wide range of support services.
