23 Menu Skip to content Nevada HVAC Training Nevada is a state of many temperatures and climates. It happens to be the driest state in the US and contains many deserts, where the temperature can sometimes reach 125 degrees at its peak in the summer. Conversely, an Southwestern HVAC tech of this region can fight a winter temperature at night of -50 degrees. Being that Nevada experiences such drastic highs and lows, an HVAC technician’s skills of keeping residences and buildings properly warm in the cold weather and chilled during the hot seasons are important trade skills to have. As the infamous Death Valley in Nevada implies with its name alone, the risk of death is certainly present—without proper heating and cooling capabilities.
