The 10 lucky plumbing or HVAC instructors will receive an exclusive, hands-on, train-the-trainer presentation of PERC’s newest course, Overview of Propane Distribution Systems for HVAC and Plumbing Professionals.

Those selected will receive airfare and hotel accommodations while they attend the two-day, hands-on training session at the Rinnai facility in Peachtree City, Georgia. Attendees will learn how to:

Encourage your residential construction contacts to nominate people they know, too. Instructors can even nominate themselves! Not only will the winners enjoy the trip, they’ll be able to add this valuable skill — propane training — to their curriculum.

You can also help by sharing this new course with local plumbing and HVAC professionals, trade schools, community college instructors, and your other industry contacts. Promote the contest with materials created by the Propane Education & Research Council, including digital ads for your website, social media graphics, and more.

The goal is to encourage plumbing and HVAC instructors from coast-to-coast to add this free course to their curriculum in an effort to produce a new generation of propane professionals. Because more people qualified to work with propane will mean more propane appliances going into homes, and that’s what will keep your residential gallons growing.
