HVAC Technician Training in Alberta

How Much Training Does Furnace Cleaning Technician Need in Edmonton?

The truth is, furnace and duct cleaning is not a regulated business in Alberta. That means when you call a company to clean your furnace and ducts in Edmonton, there is no standard way to make sure that you are dealing with a company that has the expertise, experience and training to touch your furnace system. At Alberta Furnace Cleaning, for over 30 years, we have been dedicated to providing the best training in the industry, for your trust and safety!

Our industry-leading training program: 

NADCA  (National Air Duct Cleaning Association) Training & Certification

Alberta Furnace Cleaning is NADCA certified, meaning we adhere to the standards of the National Air Duct Cleaning Association. Our furnace cleaning technicians undergo training as NADCA certified Air Systems Cleaning Specialists (ASCS). 

The ASCS certification provides the industry standard level of competency, meaning that your tech can safely and accurately assess your HVAC system and verify its cleanliness and safety. Our furnace tech assistants must also earn their NADCA Ventilation Maintenance Technician (VMT) certification. 

Customized NAIT HVAC Technical Course

Alberta Furnace Cleaning in Edmonton has worked with NAIT to develop a custom course providing on-site technical training in the technical aspects of HVAC systems. Our custom training includes in-depth knowledge and hands-on practice with furnace systems, including wiring and electrical training. This level of competency is not required by industry standards, but we provide it as ongoing training and retraining every 12-24 months. Our goal is to provide the highest level of technical expertise you will find in a furnace technician in the Edmonton area. 

6 Weeks On-the-Job Training

Our furnace cleaning technicians start as furnace cleaning assistants, gaining at least 6 months of cleaning experience before they enter technician training. In addition to the technical training above, our technicians undergo 4-6 weeks of hands-on training with an experienced technician prior to being sent on their own. 

COR Certification

Alberta Furnace Cleaning is COR certified, meaning we have a high level, intensely audited safety system in place to ensure that our technicians are trained in safe working practices, and that they follow a rigorous system of safety checks at every job they perform.

Alberta Furnace Cleaning Reviews

Benito and his partner gave exceptional service for us. They came when they said they would, were quick and efficient. We had fewer vents than first estimated so were even able to get a lower price than the initial quote. They were professional, polite and friendly. We highly recommend them if you are looking for a furnace cleaning. They also gave great advice, don't wait until the fall to clean your furnace, do it now when they have more times available and if you have air conditioning then it's good to have them clean for the summer too.

Andrew M and Roberto M were fantastic! They were super friendly from the start and they explained what they were going to do. From the booking request to the attendance of the techs everything was well communicated. I would highly suggest using this company to anyone needing to have their furnace serviced and ducts cleaned. Thanks so much!

The crew who came out was very knowledgeable. I appreciated that they were thorough and honest. I didn’t realize the humidifier filter was a thing and they showed me it was time for a change. Overall, fast friendly service all around. Would use them again.

This company knows their stuff, provides great customer service and excellent work. I’m totally happy with how the two very friendly and knowledgeable associates cleaned my furnace, vents, dryer vent and AC coil. I will certainly book my next appointment with them.

Benito & Misha were out last week. Arrived on time, very friendly & knowledgeable. They did a very thorough cleaning of my vents & furnace a/c. It feels like the furnace & a/c are working much better. Gave me helpful hints for changing filters, etc in the future. I will definitely book with Alberta Furnace Cleaning again!

We had Edison and Roberto out to our home to clean our furnace vents and dryer. They were extremely polite, professional, thorough and efficient! They explained the entire process before they got started and even as they were working. I really appreciated the care they took to wear boot covers, lay down mats, and seal the front door. I couldn't have asked for a better customer experience! Alberta Furnace also offers competitive pricing and I was really pleased with the communication provided before and after our service. All around, a great experience with wonderful people every step of the way! Oh yeah, and clean vents too 😉
