Schools for HVAC Controls

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that the demand for professionals in the heating, ventilation and air conditioning industry (HVAC) will increase by approximately 28 percent from 2008 through 2018. To enter the field, postsecondary training is typically necessary. A number of career training and vocational schools in the United States offer programs that prepare students to install, maintain and repair HVAC controls and systems.
