TYPES OF CERTIFICATION

1. A Type I technician primarily works on small appliances such as domestic refrigerators, window air conditioners, PTACs, and vending machines.
2. A Type II technician primarily works on equipment using a high pressure refrigerant such as HCFC-22. The equipment includes residential air conditioners and heat pumps, supermarket refrigeration and process refrigeration.
3. A Type III technician primarily works on equipment using a low pressure refrigerant such as HCFC-123 or CFC-11. These units are primarily chillers. The EPA Certification program offered at Lindsey-Cooper is designed to give the best possible chance to successfully pass all sections of the test the first time and become universal certifiedt
