SUMMARY:PPA TEC Heat Exchanger Experts Training & Seminar
DESCRIPTION:Registration is at 7:30 AM; Class starts at 8:00 AM\nPennsylvania Petroleum Association Technical Education Center (PPATEC) and Pennsylvania Air Conditioning Contractors Association (PAACCA) are teaming up to jointly host Heat Exchanger Experts in 2025! Heat Exchanger Experts Inc. founder\, Ellis Prach\, is considered one of the foremost experts when it comes to troubleshooting cracked heat exchangers. His residential furnace inspection manual will show you how to inspect heat exchangers thoroughly\, yet efficiently\, so that you can be satisfied you are doing the best job you can for your customers. The dependable\, practical techniques shown in his manual were developed over a 40-year span of furnace inspections and installations. \nHeat Exchanger Experts Training & Seminar Benefits\n\n• The most effective way to find and identify defects in the heat exchanger\n• Locate where defects most commonly occur\n• Metal behavior tendencies and histories of heat exchanger failure\n• The consistent defects in various heat exchangers over the past 50 years\n• Defects that occur in the newer\, high-efficiency furnaces\n• After attending this seminar\, service technicians will realize how many defective\, unsafe furnaces they may have overlooked\n\nHands-On Training!\nOver 50 actual field-tested gas heat exchangers are brought right to the classroom for your personal inspection. See the stress points\, fracture zones\, and design considerations which you MUST know in order to properly inspect a furnace. Every furnace installer and inspector can benefit from this seminar. The information presented represents over 50 years of combined expertise in the heating industry. Learn the secrets of the trade now so you can apply them throughout your career. \nThe gas heat exchangers reviewed come from actual inspections\, just like the ones you perform as part of your daily routine. You will learn how to identify wear-patterns of various exchanger designs. By attending our heat exchanger training\, you will be able to quickly see repeating trouble spots of various furnaces which can greatly decrease inspection time. \n**Please Note: Though the Heat Exchanger Experts focus and expertise\, is on gas heating systems\, the methods they teach in determining a heat exchanger is compromised can be applied to many oil heat systems. So\, if you work on both gas and oil\, this class will be of much value to all attendees. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClass Includes:\n• Light Breakfast \n• Lunch \n• Residential Furnace Heat Exchanger Inspection Manual ($160 value) \nClass Instructors:\nEllis Prach has worked in the HVAC business for over 50 years.

Ellis is considered one of the foremost experts in the nation when it comes to cracked heat exchangers. \nRussell Prach\, son of Ellis\, has grown up in this industry. Shadowing his father\, Russell has acquired Ellis’ expertise on heat exchanger services\, and is eager to pass it along. Russell’s passion and enthusiasm for this trade is contagious; you will see his enthusiasm transpire in his teaching methods as he captures the attention of each and every student or attendee. \n\nThanks to Russell’s passion\, both contractors\, and home inspectors alike\, leave the class inspired and excited to use their newfound knowledge in the field. \nMeet the youngest instructor on our team\, Christopher Prach. Although new to the training\, Christopher grew up in this industry under Ellis\, so heat exchanger training and servicing are both very familiar to him. \n\nThe knowledge he brings from his extensive field experience\, accompanied by the expertise passed down from his father\, Christopher makes a great addition to the instructing team. When Christopher is not on tour\, aside from being a father\, he oversees the field operations in our service company. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Item Name\nExpires\nPricing\n\n\n\n\nPPA/PPATEC/PAACCA Member Ticket\nSep 12\, 2025\n\n\n$1\,300.00\n\n\n\nNon-Member Ticket – Full ticket price is for non-members\nSep 12\, 2025\n\n\n$1\,500.00
