TECA's Quality First Residential Air Source Heat Pump System Design is being delivered through BCIT starting October 11, 2025. To learn more about an Air to Air Heat Pump Specialist microcredential program click here.
There are several grants and subsidies that you may be eligible for, as a result, BCIT is directly managing the inflow of students into this course and the associated air to air heat pump microcredential.
Please contact Lara Belagamage from BCIT at soce-heatpump-microcredential@bcit.ca to register for this course or for additional information about registering for the microcredential program.
The residential air to air heat pump course teaches fundamental heat pump theory and develops the tools required to design, install, commission, and maintain a residential air to air heat pump system.
Applying the knowledge gained from the pre-requisite courses, students will learn how to select
appropriate models and styles of air to air heat pump equipment for residential applications. Students will develop the skills to make critical design decisions such as properly locating the equipment and controls, how to size auxiliary heat, develop simple control strategies, and proper techniques for installing system components. Students will apply these skills to the installation of HVAC equipment in new construction and retrofit applications.
This course covers the theory required for a complete residential air to air heat pump installation in a
safe and efficient way. This includes a discussion of refrigerant types, how to minimize the impact to
the building envelope with penetrations, selection of system accessories, commissioning systems, and general maintenance to ensure reliable operation of the equipment. Then students will develop the skills to justify their design decisions and generate technical documents that verify their installations have been performed correctly and the system operates as intended.

Personal, GREAT experience with related course, super knowledge, was super easy to message, talk to, get in contact with for questions. Course could have more examples of Start to finish of a HP sizing & Design with a few different details. Start with basic house/system. Then next add a few things like need of Electric supplemental heat, then another one or two with a few other additions. A little more focus information and clear course and this will be an awesome course.
If you can't find the date & time you want, sign up for our waitlist and receive an email once new course dates are posted.
TECA's Quality First duct sizing software was developed as a companion to our training courses and is designed to produce the same Quality First documentation found in our manuals, increase legibility and accuracy, and greatly reduce the time required to perform calculations.
