“This program is designed to get you up to speed on one of the biggest trends in our industry......the ductless mini split. My goal for this program is for you to understand the basic inner workings of a mini split and become familiar with the product line, its uses, and what it’s well suited for. By the end of this program, you should be able to find important manufacturer information, identify components that might differ from a regular HVAC system, as well as learn what best practices are, and advanced troubleshooting and service techniques specific to Mini and Multi Splits.
