Welcome Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Technology (ACR) Students!
Heating and air-conditioning systems control the temperature, humidity, and the total air quality in residential, commercial, industrial, and other buildings. By providing a climate controlled environment, refrigeration systems make it possible to store and transport food, medicine, and other perishable items. Heating, Air-conditioning, and Refrigeration Technicians install, maintain, and repair such systems. Because heating, ventilation, air-conditioning, and refrigeration systems often are referred to as HVACR systems, these workers also may be called HVACR technicians. The Air Conditioning and Refrigeration program at Bevill State is designed to teach basic theories and provide a working knowledge of air conditioning and heating for both comfort and environmental considerations. Graduates will be able to enter the fields of planning, installing, operating, and maintaining all types of heating, air conditioning and refrigeration equipment. The program is approved by the Alabama Board of Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration for the Alabama Contractor’s License Exam.
