Residential Electrification Training
To earn the electrification badge, contractors must take all five training modules and pass the accompanying quizzes. In order to maintain the badge, HVAC contractors must install at least four heat pumps per year. Additional requirements may be considered in the future, such as spot-checks and follow-ups with customers.
