EPA Section 608 Technician Course

This course is designed to provide a solid foundation for passing the EPA 608 certification exam. In the United States, any technician who works with refrigerants—whether maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of equipment—must be certified by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This requirement helps ensure safety and environmental protection. Refrigerants are found in various types of equipment such as air conditioners, heaters, and refrigeration units. Understanding these systems is crucial for anyone entering this field. There are four different types of EPA 608 certifications: Type I - covers small appliances like residential refrigerators and window air conditioners. Type II - focuses on high-pressure systems including split air conditioning units and large commercial refrigeration setups. Type III - pertains to low-pressure appliances like chillers. The Universal - certification combines all three types, allowing technicians to work on any system. By taking this course, you’ll gain the knowledge necessary to excel in your career and meet federal requirements.
