In this episode, host Jim Klauck talks with Nathan from Shafer Heating and Cooling about their unique approach to technician training that makes them stand out in the HVAC industry. Nathan emphasizes the importance of comprehensive in-house technician training on a variety of system types to ensure stellar service on actual customer equipment. Shafer invests in over 250 hours of training per year for every team member, setting them apart from many smaller companies that primarily rely on on-the-job training.
According to Nathan Shafer boasts a dedicated training lab with eight to ten operational system setups of varying ages, where technicians can practice troubleshooting, uninstallation, reinstallation, and communication with the customer. Providing the best service means not just fixing the current issue but also anticipating potential problems and making recommendations.
More comprehensive training also takes place through partnerships with elite HVAC schools in Weatherford, Texas, and Little Rock, Arkansas. Trainees undergo one to six weeks of intensive coursework after completing the in-house program. These courses include focus areas and advanced diagnostics with the benefit of virtual VRF interactive experiences.
Jim commends Shafer's systematic approach to training, arguing that it leads to more confident, skilled technicians capable of managing potentially dangerous equipment elements like gas, electric, and water. He maintains that this pre-equipped training fosters confidence and safety for homeowners.

Welcome back to the Check A Pro radio show! This week, we're excited to have heating and cooling professional, Nathan Shafer from Shafer Heating and Cooling to answer your burning question. Together, we delve deep into a question that often arises: what size heating system, or furnace, do you need for your home?
Often, homeowners believe that a larger heating system would essentially deliver better performance, but Nathan elaborates on why this isn't always the case. Sizing heating systems appropriately is crucial because an oversize or undersize unit may not efficiently meet your home's demands.
A proper load calculation on your house is essential in choosing the right heating system. This involves considerations like window and door sizes and types, flooring type, insulation values, and even the house's particular orientation. Factors like these are crucial for our comfort specialists when performing calculations using our software programs.
Boasting a rich repository of knowledge and experience, Nathan discusses how today's heating systems differ from older models. The implementation of safety switches and mechanisms in modern systems show how the industry's evolved, and why an accurate size is paramount to prevent functional issues.
Nathan further warns homeowners about unreliable information and empowers listeners to investigate for themselves. His mission is to ensure every homeowner receives the correct size heating system that not only efficiently heats their home but reduces the burden of operation on the utilities front.
If you're in need of trustworthy specialists to handle your home's heating needs, reach out to Nathan and his team at Schaefer Heating and Cooling. Find all of Nathan's contact information in the podcast notes just a click away. Join us again for more insights on Check A Pro. Until next time, we wish you a comfortable and efficient home!
