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 their space
conditioning needs. With over fifteen 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

The three day comprehensive Installation Workshops are designed for
