Keeping the environment safe with a 609 Certification
Obtaining a 609 Certification ensures refrigerant can be recovered, recycled and disposed of properly. In addition, it keeps you in compliance with legislation and helps protect from fines.
One important note: 609 Certification is not skills training. Rather, it gives individuals the required knowledge on federal laws regarding the mobile climate control industry.

“It isn’t blowing cold enough.” Most any auto repair shop that does A/C work will often hear customers say this phrase. It can be the result of any number of things that can be wrong with an A/C system.
