Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration
Students in the Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVAC/R) program at Elgin Community College train in modern, fully equipped labs designed to simulate real-world residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Hands-on learning is the foundation of the program, and students are encouraged to make the most of lab time to build confidence and technical proficiency.
