Official Texas HVAC/ACR CE courses

This course is for Texas air conditioning and refrigeration contractors. TDLR requires every licensed ACR contractor, Class A or Class B, with any endorsement (environmental air, commercial refrigeration and process cooling or heating, or both), to complete 8 hours of approved continuing education before each license renewal. Registered and certified ACR technicians renew without a continuing education requirement from TDLR; they are welcome to take the course, but it is not required for a technician renewal.

Texas HVAC/ACR 8 HR CE - Texas Laws/Rules & Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1302 is 8 CE hours (TDLR course number 33284). That is the full amount TDLR requires before each contractor renewal, in one course. TDLR requires that one of the eight hours cover the Texas laws and rules that govern contractor conduct; this course includes that hour, with the other seven hours on Occupations Code Chapter 1302, the TDLR rules, mechanical code compliance, ethics and business practices. You do not need a second course. One CE hour equals 50 minutes of instruction, so the course is 405 minutes of timed lessons.

20 modules: Texas HVAC Laws & Rules for ACR Contractors; Legislative Purpose and Structure of Chapter 1302; Key Definitions and Scope of Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Contracting; Applicability and Exemptions under Chapter 1302; License Classes: Class A and Class B; Endorsements and Scope of Practice; Qualification Requirements: Experience, Examination, and Application; Liability Insurance Requirements under Chapter 1302; Advertising, Representations, and Deceptive Practices; Contracts, Estimates, Change Orders, and Documentation; Consumer Protection and Complaint Avoidance; Authorized Scope of Work under Chapter 1302; Supervision of Technicians and Registrants; Proper and Improper Use of License; Code Compliance and Mechanical Codes; Permits, Inspections, and Local Compliance; Enforcement, Disciplinary Actions, and Grounds for Sanctions; Case Studies: Unpermitted Work and License Misuse; Best Practices, Risk Management, and Compliance Programs; Course Review and Filing Renewal. Each module ends with short knowledge-check questions.

Texas HVAC/ACR 8 HR CE - Texas Laws/Rules & Texas Occupations Code Chapter 1302 is $20, one time. That price includes the timed lessons, the knowledge checks, your PDF certificate and our reporting of your completion to TDLR. There is no separate state reporting fee for this course. You pay by card at a secure checkout and the receipt is emailed to you.

CE hours are based on seat time: one CE hour equals 50 minutes of instruction, as required by TDLR, so the 8-hour course is 405 minutes (6 hours 45 minutes) of timed lessons. Most students split it across two or three sittings. The lessons are timed so your credit meets the standard, and you can stop and resume any time; your place is saved automatically.

Certificates are typically issued within 1 business day. If you need yours sooner, call our course administrator, Mike Brown, at 214-800-9958. It is emailed to you as a PDF and also appears under My Account on our website. We report your completion to TDLR as the provider. Keep your certificate for two years.

We report each completion to TDLR through the TDLR provider portal as the provider. Our provider number with TDLR is 2564. Reporting is the provider's responsibility, not yours, so there is nothing for you to send in; your certificate is emailed to you as a PDF at the same time. If your hours do not appear in TDLR's records, contact us first and we will check the filing.
