HART 1401 – Basic Electricity for HVAC

banner - students in class

Electricity is all around us – If you are interested in learning how electricity is produced, harnessed and made to work safely for us, then this is the course for you.

This Basic Electricity for HVAC course is designed for students with no background or previous work experience. In this course you will learn how to work safely with electricity and build simple series and parallel circuits.

This class teaches the fundamentals of Ohms Law as it relates to both series and parallel circuitry, along with the use of the digital volt-ohm meter.

This course consists of

  • time in the computer lab with interactive CD-ROM materials
  • instructor lectures
  • hands-on lab exercises
  • home study theory work
  • a series of tests to measure your understanding and comprehension

This course prepares students for HART 1403 – A/C Control Principles.
