An AAS in HVAC Technology degree requires earning of 60 credit hours (remedial or repeat classes are not included in this figure), which can be completed in five semesters. Classes in the Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) program at Ivy Tech are lab based with almost every class meeting having a hands-on portion where students will train and work on actual furnace and air conditioning equipment. This lab allows students to gain experience in equipment installation, charging air conditioning units and troubleshooting equipment failures. Our students will also learn about energy saving equipment like solar thermal, thermal storage, geo thermal, air and hot water zoning systems and HVAC building automation systems. In some cases, students will be able to take part in community service by assisting local churches and food banks with their HVAC needs. Students earn up to six credentials upon completion of this program.Â
