Our Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning/Refrigeration (HVAC/R) 1 & 2 classes took on a real-world challenge: diagnosing and restoring a 40-year-old Coca-Cola store-style refrigerator that had completely stopped cooling.
Students worked through each step of the process—
🔧 Disassembling and accessing the refrigeration components
⚡ Testing electrical connections and compressor function
🧊 Troubleshooting airflow and system performance
🔩 Making necessary repairs to get the unit running again
And the best part? They successfully brought it back to working condition!
This is hands-on learning at its best—problem solving, teamwork, and real equipment repair that mirrors the work they’ll do in the field.
Great job, HVAC/R students!

When our plumbing classroom began getting blasted with cold air from above, our Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning/Refrigeration (HVAC/R) 1 & 2 students jumped in to help! The center deflector panel inside the air diffuser had gone missing, causing cold air to pour straight down on a student instead of being properly dispersed throughout the room.
Our HVAC/R class immediately identified the issue and repaired it using insulated duct material—the correct choice to prevent condensation and dripping that would have occurred with plain metal. The result? The repair was functional, efficient, and clean, and most importantly, it restored comfort for everyone in the room!
Way to go, HVAC/R team, for putting real-world skills to work and supporting fellow students!
