If I asked you if you wanted to build sales, improve operational efficiency or increase technical knowledge in 2016, what would you say? My guess is that you’d like to see a positive difference in all three.
I’m pleased to share that Munch’s Supply can help. Our Munch University classes have been created to be exactly WHAT you need WHEN you need it.
Conveniently offered at our Brighton and Grand Rapids training centers, we hope you’ll review the spring schedule and choose the offerings that best suit your business goals. All the best,

EPA and NATE Testing Selection
EPA Testing
Test Date: 03/22/2016 Fee: $75
NATE Testing
Test Date: 04/25/2016 Fee: See below
Munch’s Supply offers four exam and pricing options for NATE testing. See testing registration page for complete details.
The EPA passed regulations concerning the proper handling of refrigerants (Clean Air Act, Section 608). In an effort to guarantee that service persons have read and understand these regulations, the EPA requires that all service persons pass an exam and become certified in proper refrigerant handling techniques.
According to a survey by Decision Analyst Inc., 90 percent of consumers prefer a certified HVACR technician to service their heating and cooling systems. It is no surprise that consumers want a job done right the first time. Call-backs are not only expensive to you and inconvenient to your customers, they can undermine the relationships with your customers you have worked so hard to establish. Do not let an inexperienced, non-certified technician put your business at risk.
Testing can be arranged for training centers at any of our seven convenient locations.
