The trade of thermal fitter is accessible from several levels of study, the minimum of which is the CAP thermal fitter prepared after secondary school in 2 years in an apprentice training centre (CFA) or in a vocational school. It can be completed by a complementary mention (MC) maintenance in individual thermal equipment. Other level V diplomas allow you to work as a heating engineer, such as the BEP in refrigeration and air-conditioning techniques or in sanitary and thermal installation techniques. Insofar as these two BEPs are more or less the same, it is possible to prepare them at the same time and thus have a double specialisation as a heating installer. At level IV, it is possible to take a BAC pro in energy or a BP in refrigeration and air-conditioning or in air-conditioning installation. And if you wish to pursue higher education, there is the BMS building and the BTS fluids-energies-environments.

The thermal installer, whose most common name is heating engineer, has many tasks. This specialist in HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems aims to bring well-being to the occupants of a home, but also in other buildings: commercial premises, offices, shops, etc. He installs heaters, radiators, boilers, air conditioning and various other devices producing heat, cold or hot water. He carries out the layout and lays the pipes and ducts required for connection. When he has completed the installation, he checks its integrity before putting the appliances into service. His tasks do not end with the installation of heating equipment, as he also carries out repairs and maintenance. He can also offer a maintenance contract at the time of installation.

A heating engineer is called in to help us adjust the temperature in our home sweet home. This way, whether in summer or winter, we will always be comfortable with the right temperature. But the heating engineer can also help us to have domestic hot water by coupling the heating appliance with a suitable emitter; this means that we are no longer dependent on a separate water heater. This can save us money on the electricity bill.
