Peace of mind is important when it comes to choosing the right New Jersey contractor for the job. For quality, superior installation and maintenance of your home heating and cooling system, choose an HVAC technician who is NATE certified. Not only does NATE certification help you narrow down the potential candidates and select a qualified technician, it ensures that your money is well spent on a service provider. NATE certified technicians provide residential and commercial HVAC services, and many specialize in one or more service areas.
What is NATE?
NATE, which is an acronym for North American Technician Excellence, is a nonprofit organization that provides certification in heating, cooling, refrigeration and ventilation. NATE was founded in 1997, and is the only organization of its kind in the United States.
NATE tests are recognized as the industry standard and are recommended, although not required for technicians. It isnt easy to become NATE certified, and many technicians do not pass the exam on the first time. NATE tests HVAC technicians to help give consumers peace of mind that the person taking apart their furnace or troubleshooting their leaky air conditioner has the skill and knowledge to complete their job correctly the first time. An HVAC technician who successfully completes NATE’s stringent testing requirements can then specialize in residential and commercial HVAC, thereby increasing their skill set and demand.

Besides the peace of mind you will enjoy when you hire an HVAC contractor who is NATE-certified, you will enjoy many benefits, including:
- Technician competence and familiarity with a wide variety of manufacturers’ makes and models
