Learning to install GSHP systems will keep you competitive in a market forced to deal with rising energy costs and resource depletion. Installer accreditation enables you to open new markets and offer customers a low-maintenance, economical, and environmentally friendly alternative for th eir space conditioning needs. Many geothermal projects require IGSHPA Accreditation.
With over twenty years of experience teaching these workshops, accrediting thousands of installers, and setting the industry standard, IGSHPA has maintained close ties with Oklahoma State University, and pioneered training in GSHP installation. Your workshop facilitator is Lawrence Muhammad, a Certified IGSHPA Trainer, for both Ground Heat Exchanger and Vertical Boring accreditation, as well as a proctor for NATE Examinations.
