23 Menu Georgia HVAC Training If you have lived in the State of Georgia, you would have likely experienced the warm, muggy summers. The summer discomfort does abate as you move up north or away from the Gulf of Mexico, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that much of the state experiences a typical subtropical climate. Some sections in the northern part of the state, such as Floyd County, can also get quite cold during the winter. This means that a large number of residential and commercial areas in the state have regular heating and cooling requirements, which in turn raises the demand for professionals who can install, repair and maintain HVAC systems and equipment. Regardless if you’re an adult looking to transition into a new career, or a high-school student seeking to build a career in a hand-on technical field, the following information will help you grasp the ins and outs of HVAC education and training in the State of Georgia.
