Good Morning Everyone! Today, let’s play a scenario out. It is 30 degrees outside in the winter in Savannah, your HVAC system has conveniently broken down and your house feels like an ice box.

A NATE certification is a very important factor to consider when choosing your HVAC provider and I will explain why.

A NATE certification is a highly acclaimed accomplishment by only 10% of the HVAC technicians in the entire United States. That translates to roughly 32,000 HVAC technicians that have this certification. “NATE” stands for North American Technician Excellence and it is the largest non-profit organization in the United States. The NATE organization was started in 1997, with the headquarters is in Arlington, VA, and is under the authority of the entire HVACR industry. All NATE applicants can earn a Service and/or Technician certification is areas such as, Air Conditioning, Air Distribution, Heat Pumps, Gas Heating, Oil Heating, and so on. Every single expert who holds the NATE certification has passed rigorous exams that test knowledge of the topic studied. NATE certifications have to be renewed every two to three years based on the certification topic, so all NATE certified technicians stay on top of the industry.
