Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US First Manufacturer to Earn New Department of Energy Training Recognition

SUWANEE, Ga. , May 08 /Businesswire/ - Mitsubishi Electric Trane HVAC US LLC (METUS), a leading supplier of Ductless and Ducted Mini-split and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) heat pump and air-conditioning systems, has become the first manufacturer to receive the Energy Skilled recognition from the Department of Energy (DOE) for its Residential Heat Pump Installation and Comfort Advising training program.

The DOE launched the workforce training recognition program to support the development of a robust building systems workforce in the United States. Company programs recognized as Energy Skilled offer training and certifications to prepare workers with the knowledge and skills to support residential electrification and energy efficiency.

“Here at METUS, we are committed to leading the charge to reduce the use of fossil fuels in the spaces we live and work,” said Brent Constant, senior director of technical solutions. “Contractors are an essential component of how we accomplish that goal. With that in mind, we are always looking for new ways to enhance and optimize our training facilities and strategies.”

HVAC contractors who have completed the METUS M&P - Series 2-day instructor-led Essentials Course since July 2019 can achieve the Energy Skilled Residential Heat Pump Installation and Comfort Advising certificate of completion by participating in a 2-hour supplemental online training session. The M&P - Series Essentials Course can be completed at a METUS training center or one of the 100+ distributor-operated METUS-authorized training centers. Since July 2019, over 15,000 contractors have completed the M&P - Series Essentials Course.

Contractors who have yet to complete the M&P - Series Essentials Course can achieve the Energy Skilled Residential Heat Pump Installation and Comfort Advising certificate of completion in one of two ways: a combination of the M&P - Series instructor-led Essentials Course and the 2-hour supplemental online session or a longer instructional program based entirely online.

With the Energy Skilled designation, contractors who complete the METUS Residential Heat Pump Installation and Comfort Advising training program can feel confident in their vital role of helping Americans make home updates that increase their comfort.

Additionally, the Training for Residential Energy Contractors (TREC) Program, funded by the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) 50123, makes $200 million available to state energy offices to train, test and certify residential energy-efficient and electrification contractors. Also known as the State-Based Home Energy Efficiency Contractor Training Grants, TREC will implement innovative workforce development programs to train workers to make homes healthier and more energy efficient.
