California HVAC technician certification

You will first need to have completed the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) exams to work on HVAC equipment in any US state. This is a short reasonably straightforward series of tests mainly intended to make sure you know the environmental impact of refrigerants. College courses frequently include classes aimed at passing the EPA tests. The EPA tests are all short multiple choice questions you can start studying for right away on our EPA course pages.

Once you have your EPA card you will then need to meet the state requirements for HVAC technicians.
