HVAC: Identifies and recognizes the problems affecting equipment, and makes repairs to systems that provide for cooling, heating, filtering, or circulation of air for facilities and equipment. Performs the full range of work involved with troubleshooting and repair, overhaul, maintenance, and servicing of industrial air conditioning units, heat pumps, gas fire boilers, split ventilation systems and air-drying systems. Diagnoses and locates malfunctions, disassembles, repairs, replaces, or adjusts thermostats, pressure stats, humidistat, relays, switches, electronic controls and other devices. Bleeds systems and replaces refrigerants and tests for leaks and excessive load conditions. Observes and tests the operation of heating and cooling systems to locate malfunctions in automatic controls, converters, piping, pumps and related components. Inspects, adjusts and, as necessary, replaces or repairs thermostats, governors, switches, cut off apparatuses, burners, fuel feed flame guard controls, ball bearing, drive gears, gaskets, damaged parts, and electronic and other safety devices. This requires certification as a 'Technician Type Universal', knowledge of methods, practices and tools used in the operation and maintenance of ventilation and air conditioning systems, electronic/pneumatic controls, etc. Possess CFC/HCFC Refrigerant Processing Certificate. Building Systems: Tests, inspects and maintains installed electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems for proper operation and compliance with applicable technical orders, manufacturers handbook and local procedures, and safety and environmental regulations. This is done by possessing a working knowledge of a variety of electrical, mechanical and plumbing building systems, methods and tools; skill in repairing piping and pipe fittings, removing sludge, scale and other harmful residue; and the ability to read and understand schematics, technical materials and environmental regulations. Preventative Maintenance: Performs preventative maintenance tasks in accordance with applicable technical data and local procedures to maintain optimal life expectancy of all equipment, systems and individual components. This involves lubricating and repacking valves, lubricating pumps, replacing gaskets and seals, correcting pumping equipment misalignments, cleaning or replacing strainers and filters, servicing water/oil separators and other Real Property Installed Equipment (RPIE), bench checking repairable components and sub-assemblies, testing and calibrating repaired items to ensure adequacy and reliability of repair actions; aligning pulleys, and adjusting drive belts on belt driven equipment. This requires using the following test equipment, standards, and other equipment required by applicable technical data, hand and power tools such as jackhammers, torque wrenches, meters, gear pullers, bench grinders, and hydraulic presses; pipe-threading machines; cutting and welding torches, welding outfits; wrenches; micrometers; caliper; power drills; vacuum pumps; multi-meters, manifold gauges, leak detectors, portable trash pumps; powered and non-powered saws; drills; taps and punches with drills; drill presses and hand punches. Miscellaneous Repairs: Inspects, maintains, repairs, and installs structural and mechanical components of roll-up doors and overhead hoists to include rollers, guides, pulleys, stops, cables, clamps, limit switches, etc. Install, repairs, replaces, and adjusts building hardware.
