Description: This advanced-level continuing education course is designed to enhance the knowledge and field competency of journeymen HVAC technicians and pipefitters working with modern commercial boiler systems. Delivered in partnership with LAARS Boilers, the course focuses on condensing and non-condensing boiler technology, volume water heaters, hydronic system design, and combustion optimization. 

Building upon ARPEC’s in-house hydronic training initiative and the iConnect boiler training platform, this course integrates manufacturer-specific expertise with real-world applications. Participants will develop a deeper understanding of system piping, venting strategies, control programming, and combustion setup while utilizing simulators and digital tools to replicate field conditions. 

This training directly supports contractor needs in retrofit, service, and new installation markets, aligning classroom instruction with on-the-job demands and improving technician performance, safety, and system efficiency.

Objectives: Upon completion of this class, students will: 

• Understand Boiler Systems & Design – Identify boiler types, hydronic components, and proper piping practices.
• Develop Programming & Control Skills – Navigate controls, set parameters, and apply system logic for operation.
• Apply Combustion Principles – Perform setup, optimize efficiency, and recognize unsafe or inefficient conditions.
• Ensure Venting & Safety Compliance – Implement proper venting, prevent hazards, and follow code requirements.
• Strengthen Diagnostics & Troubleshooting – Identify faults and apply structured methods to improve service efficiency.
