As a cooling workman, you may be going through your normal routine installing a new cooling system, insulating an air duct, or resetting a thermostat.
- It could even be that you are advising a customer on ways to improve air quality in their home by buying a certain air filter or how best to care for a heat pump, but have you thought of ways to improve your skills and certification? HVAC conventions and shows are a good place to start.
HVAC events are carried out throughout the globe to encourage the meeting of vendors and customers and also to showcase the latest technology in the cooling and heating business. These events and shows often showcase up-and-coming cooling equipment and innovative technology that can help you as a cooling and heating provider stay up to date on industry trends. In some cases attending these events can help you qualify for continuing education hours, which may be needed, for instance, being a cooling expert, to maintain some industry certifications. Attending these shows does not come cheap because you have to pay for registration and also the travel expenses. But even if it takes away time from your business, it can help you build your company’s reputation and broaden brand awareness. As a cooling specialist, your company choosing you to represent them at such events will further improve your skills whether it is with a cooling install or a heat pump repair, the point is you will leave the event better than you came. Overall, attending one or even several HVAC conferences in a year can help you grow your business and skills and keep you ahead of your competitors.
