Residential Heat Pump Operation and Maintenance for Non-Trades MZEB 1146

This course equips non-trades personnel—homeowners, building operators, and maintenance workers—with the essential knowledge and practical skills to operate, troubleshoot, and maintain small residential heat pump systems. It is especially valuable for individuals in remote communities, where access to HVAC professionals is limited and self-reliance is essential. Through hands-on labs, fieldwork, case studies, and real-world scenarios, students will develop the competencies needed to ensure efficient system operation, carry out routine maintenance, and diagnose common performance issues. Designed specifically for non-trades facilities personnel, this course bridges the knowledge gap by teaching participants to monitor system performance, identify minor issues before they escalate into costly problems, and complete preventative maintenance that reduces risk of equipment failure. Students will gain foundational troubleshooting skills, learn basic diagnostic techniques, and develop skills to perform maintenance tasks such as inspecting and cleaning or repairing refrigerant lines, coils, condensate systems. Emphasis is also placed on effective communication with contractors—recognizing when to escalate issues and maintaining detailed documentation of maintenance activities and system diagnostics. By the end of the course, participants will be proficient in supporting the operations and maintenance of small residential heat pump systems to enhance comfort, reduce operating and maintenance costs, and mitigate risks of equipment failures.
