Mitsubishi Electric technicians routinely conduct maintenance to keep equipment running smoothly.

National HVAC Tech Day acknowledges the hardworking Heating, Ventilation, Air-conditioning and Refrigeration (HVACR) technicians who help keep homes and businesses safe, comfortable, and running smoothly. On this annual occasion, METUS celebrates the skilled professionals whose specialized knowledge, training, and commitment play a critical role in delivering reliable heating and cooling solutions across the U.S.

The Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Contractor^® Program, which has existed since 1994, offers multi-state and specialized training designed to keep HVAC professionals up to date on on-going product, service, and installation best practices for residential HVAC equipment. Today, the Program includes 6,365 participating independent contractors operating across three levels of training – Elite, Preferred, and Standard – with Elite representing the highest level of sales performance among participants in the Program.

Throughout the past 12 months, more than 200 new independent contractors have joined the Program. Additionally, 64% of participating independent contractors have been part of the Program for at least five years, including 33% who have participated for 10 years or more, reflecting long-standing commitment and engagement within the Program.

“The HVAC industry has become far more technology-focused. It’s not just mechanical anymore. The shift excites new technicians while sharpening and elevating industry veterans,” said Paul Chaves, Senior Manager, Training, METUS. “Technicians now work with Wi-Fi compatible systems and diagnostic software, and while online learning has expanded, hands-on experience like the training offering by METUS is critical. Members of the Diamond Contractor Program learn best by doing, and on National HVAC Tech Day, we recognize the professionals building these evolving skills.”

In addition to the Diamond Contractor network, which focuses on residential HVAC equipment, Mitsubishi Electric also supports the Diamond Commercial Contractor^® Program, a dedicated group of 255 professional, knowledgeable, and forward-thinking independent contractors serving the commercial HVAC market. The Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Commercial Contractor^® Program offers the participating independent contractors the opportunity to receive specialized training to install and support advanced commercial heating and cooling systems, including METUS’ newest X Generation VRF systems.
