Training for Quality Contractors
Tradewinds Appropriate Technologies conducts training for the HVAC Contractors that are seeking to offer their customers superior products and services.
About our founder and Chief Instructor:
Paul Wieboldt, a NATE certified technician, was the President of Tradesman Heating and Air Conditioning Services in Waco, Texas. Paul, his wife, Marji, and their eldest son, Chris, are in their 16th year of operating their family business that focuses mainly on residential HVAC service and installation including geothermal systems. He recently served two years as the President of the Waco ACCA chapter.
In 1999, Paul started another related business called Tradewinds Appropriate Technologies. Tradewinds has served ACCA providing onsite 3rd party validation for testing duct leakage and system performance on over 5000 residential systems.
The National Comfort Institute certified Paul and his staff as Air Balancing / Diagnostic Technicians and Carbon Monoxide / Combustion Analysts. He also is a certified HERS Rater for the ENERGY STAR® program and an IGSHPA certified geothermal system installer.
One of Paul's main interests is teaching and training. He is currently training HVAC contractors and technicians on behalf of ACCA and ONCOR Electric Delivery in residential system design, equipment selection and duct design. He offers consulting and tutoring in these areas for small groups and classroom instruction for larger groups.
He has over 13 years experience with computerized load calculation and duct design. Two computer design programs he uses and teaches are the WrightSoft™ suite and Elite Software™ suite. His classroom teaching experience and many years of field experience in the hvac industry combine to make his training both practical and informative.
Tradewinds is now receiving proposals to teach computerized system design, equipment selection and duct design. We are available to hold onsite training sessions in some locations or at our facilities in the Central Texas area. Please call or email us for time and locations for the scheduled classes or to schedule a private or group class.
We develop custom training materials for the HVAC industry.
