Combustion Analysis Certification

Energy efficiency is everyone's business! 

Installing new high efficient equipment will not necessarily reduce the cost of heating and cooling a home. Energy efficiency is not simply purchasing a new high SEER system, is is about proper installation to manufactures specifications. A quality installation will save energy and money.

The Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating provides the consumer with a number that represents the percentage of fuel efficiency achievable by gas and oil fired furnaces and boilers.

Combustion Analysis Certification can verify that a HVACR service technician has the knowledge to properly install or serviced a system to the the manufacturers specified AFUE rating? 

Combustion analysis is the measurement of a combustion systems flue gases to determine the completeness (efficiency) of the combustion process. Combustion analysis is only the first step in maximizing fuel efficiency. An HVACR service technician must understand the Air/Fuel ratio, and venting adjustments necessary to accomplish efficiency.

The Combustion Analysis Certification is an HVAC Excellence exam, approved by the Carbon Monoxide Safety Association and available through the ESCO Institute.

Preparation for the Carbon Monoxide Certification can be accomplished as a self study by purchasing Combustion Analysis & Fuel Efficiency or attending an approved COSA class.
