The heart of home performance is the house-as-a-system, and HVAC is the critical component that keeps that heart beating efficiently, safely and affordably.
Right now there’s a shortage of HVAC contractors skilled in the whole-house approach, that hold the necessary BPI personnel certifications and company accreditations needed to tackle whole-house projects.
Meanwhile, energy efficiency incentive programs around the country focus on whole-house solutions to home performance problems. BPI credentials are specified in over 150 such programs, including state Home Performance with ENERGY STAR® programs and many utility programs.
If you’re certified by NATE, you can get a fast-track into BPI's HVAC certifications. Your NATE credential will be credited toward a portion of BPI’s Heating or A/C and Heat Pump exams. Pass a 50-question “house-as-a-system” written exam and a field practical exam with the appropriate diagnostic equipment for health and safety testing.
