Steamfitting (Service)
Steamfitting service mechanics keep the equipment operating that heats and cools our buildings and homes and refrigerates our food. They repair and maintain complex air conditioning and heating systems that are required for total comfort in commercial buildings, continuous operation of computer rooms and special industrial process applications. They must be able to trouble-shoot, diagnose, and repair all of the components that make up a total comfort system; compressors, condensers, metering devices, evaporators, air handling units, electronic controls, and pneumatic controls. They work with steam, hot water, and absorption water chillers. Pumps, water treatment and cooling towers are other parts of the system requiring repair and maintenance. They install engines, pumps, feed water heaters, turbines, condensers, economizers, tanks, water-treating systems, and other equipment and piping related to power houses.
