PTCS Duct Sealing Certification Training
This two-day training prepares contractors to perform duct sealing work for BPA utility programs. Contractors will spend time in the classroom learning the basics of PTCS duct testing and sealing, then spend time out in the field applying what they have learned. This course qualifies contractors to perform PTCS duct services in existing homes. By participating in this course, attendees will learn the basics of duct sealing, blower door and duct blaster testing, and the nature and importance of duct leakage in a home.
