Factory built ChangeOut

CSIA CEUs awarded
10-T, 2-C&S (12 CEUs total)

Overview
Many of the existing stock of factory built fireplaces are in need of replacement. This provides a profitable opportunity for many companies. This class gives students the opportunity to both learn in the classroom and practice their skills hands-on at the CSIA Technology Center. We utilize the Prior Structure, which contains a factory built fireplace with every defect we could think to sharpen your inspection skills. You will have the hands-on experience of removing and old fireplace and replacing it with a new unit while utilizing various finish techniques.
