iConnect Training Testimonials

Corey took our TU-810 to a high school career fair in Haywood County, North Carolina on Tuesday, April 30^th.  According to Corey, “The TU-810 was a great help as far as engaging the students.  Several of the students asked what it was, what it did, how it works, etc.  Technology is always a hit!”  Thank you Corey for taking our HVAC training unit to your career fair and showing it to the next generation of HVAC technicians and professionals!

“Our students are using the TU-806 trainer with natural R-290 refrigerant with great success! This trainer will provide them with the ability to learn about the systems that they will encounter in the field. Thanks for your support.”

“The PT-181 trainers are better than I expected them to be!  They are easy to work with, the manuals are straight forward and I can’t wait to start teaching these in my classroom very soon!”

“New apprentices can see the refrigerant in the sight glasses and it’s awesome for them to see something that we have discussed in class. We have bought a number of iConnect trainers and hope to buy more soon! We are bringing in over 100 new apprentices and these trainers will be used a lot!”

“The iConnect training units are excellent – the students really can see how the units hook up with their cell phones.”

iConnect Training units they use:

• TU-701 Table Top Heat Pump Trainer: This heat pump trainer gives students hands-on experience in troubleshooting wiring, piping and controls on a working heat pump unit. It’s ideal for introducing heat pump theory since it’s not as advanced.

iConnect Training took our training not to the next level, to about three levels above the next level. It has been game-changing to be able to have the students not only repair equipment that they can troubleshoot and have to diagnose to fix it but to also see how the system works, especially in air conditioning. When the students can see the actual refrigerant cycles working, it helps them put the pieces together in their head. So, when they go out in the field, they already have an understanding on how the system is going to work. Our students put the mind with the muscle memory, and they develop those skills very quickly at an accelerated speed. We wouldn’t be able to do that without this equipment.

“The training units are giving students a better understanding of the electrical circuits and the refrigeration trainer is great at showing the refrigerant moving through the glass tubing.”

“The 9420’s are an awesome tool to use with circuit training! I teach basic circuits through to more complicated motor starter circuits. This is perfect for using after walking through a circuit on the board. I bring the apprentices back and have them wire the circuit from start to finish. The 9420 “tile trainer,” as we call it, has been the Ah-Ha moment for so many of the apprentices while learning circuits. The unit allows a great deal of flexibility, so much more than the old light bulb boards that I learned on.”

“I can only wish that I had the chance to work with the iConnect training units when I was a student in high school!”

“Thank you again for the awesome service you provide to us, it’s noticeable, and appreciated.
Your friend in the industry, Alan Mecurio”

“The TU-805 trainers we purchased have been the best money I have spent for my lab, they really help explain the refrigeration cycle to my students. It makes it so much easier when they can see what is going on and follow the flow. I also like the ability to control the fan speeds so you can demonstrate plugged filters and coils, they are truly amazing. One of my first year students even made the comment that they are the greatest thing since sliced bread!!! I have to agree with him, as they really help get that “Ah ha” moment when the students get what is going on. Thank you again and I look forward to more products from NPI.”

“The iConnect TU-9240 is a wonderful teaching tool for our students to use; it’s hands on, easy to use and packs a great learning experience.”

About Local 520 Plumbers & Pipefitters

“I like the fact that we have an unobstructed view of the workings of the air handler, and we can show students the parts without having to take covers off. Now that they are on a smaller platform, it’s easier to move from classroom to classroom. These Training Units are well put together, and everything is sturdy. They give us the ability to mimic service problems and have students try to overcome them with good methodology.”
