Looking for a career where you work with and sell various different types of mechanical and electrical appliances? Delta’s Heating, Ventilation and Air Condition, or HVAC programs, may be just for you.

"Delta's HVAC Technology program has been preparing students to meet the increasing need in a professional area where there is presently a critical shortage of new people," says Robert Neymeiyer, Coordinator of the HVAC/R Technology Program here at Delta.

Today, Delta has HVAC certificate programs for air conditioning, refrigeration and heating, and an associate’s program in service technology, all geared toward giving you the skills needed to become a residential or commercial service technician in this industry.

"With HVAC you're not limited to just one geographical location. Everybody needs heating and cooling," says Thomas Holubik, a Delta College HVAC student.

Currently, the HVAC field is ranked as one of the top 30 high-demand, high-wage careers through 2020 by Great Lakes Bay Michigan Works. There is also an expected growth of 15 percent in the next 10 years. Getting a degree in any one of these HVAC programs at Delta can lead to multiple different career outlets and open up some great opportunities for you.

"My students are typically employed full time before they graduate." says Neymeiyer.

Delta’s Program

Delta's HVAC program is set apart from other schools for many different reasons, one being the professors and that you will get the chance to learn from professionals in the field, who want to help you succeed. To add to this, you will also experience learning from Delta professors in smaller class sizes with top of the line technology.

"We have been doing this for over 30 years, and we articulate with Ferris State University," Neymeiyer mentions.

At Delta, you can earn an associate’s degree in HVAC, plus work toward the three certificate options. If your goal is to further your education in the field and go on to get your bachelor’s, Delta has plenty of transfer options for you to help you achieve your goals.

"If I had one word to describe Delta it is exciting, I enjoy learning all about HVAC and how everything works together and how to diagnose and repair it. It's enjoyable, it really is," says Holubik.
