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

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 😉

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.

Fantastic TEAM of office admin & cleaning professionals! Excellent service from the moment the estimate was confirmed, the appointment time was arranged and the reminder texts were sent prior to their arrival. The service teams were punctual, polite and SUPER professional! Protective floor mats were placed, shoe guards were used and the Furnace & carpets were thoroughly cleaned and completed in a timely manner. Thank you again for the excellent service :-)

- Alixe Regan

Glad we got Alberta Furnace. The price was reasonable for a thorough job. Tic & Roberto did an amazing job today! They worked hard even pointing out things on the furnace to look out for. They were kind and polite and when we get our furnace cleaned again, I would certainly hope for these 2 gentlemen.

- Sandra Crabtree

The guys called to inform us that they will arrive early which was great. They were friendly, respectful, professional, explained what they were about to do, clean, placed protectors on the floor and around furnitures. Overall we are 100% satisfied with their service.

- Rosalia Giralao

The technicians were efficient and very friendly. They explained what they how and what they were doing. The only thing was there was some sort of residue left on the concrete from their truck all the way to our front door that was not there before they arrived. (Dark stains on our driveway, walkway and front steps leading into the house).
