Click Here to Join the NEFI Education Mailing List

The Gas Heat training program is designed for the experienced oilheat technician that needs to broaden his/her heating qualifications. Over a period of 80 hours the student will receive classroom and "hands on" instruction focusing on gas heating systems, related heating controls and have a working knowledge of the new Massachusetts Gas Code.

Each student will have the opportunity to apply their newly developed heating skills on training boards and in house heating equipment that is found in today’s heating field. Upon completion of the gas program the student will know how to use the classroom training manual in order to identify and solve heating problems -- ranging from old millivolt heating systems to the latest high efficiency furnaces or boilers.
