Testimonials
I conducted many calls to the staff at CleanEdison. They were very informative and helpful, and each gave me a comfort level that made me feel at ease, and confidence that I could pass the test... I have been to many seminars and training courses, and in my 25+ years in HVAC, I have never come across a teacher as well diverse and interesting as CleanEdison's instructor. It was a pleasure being in his class, and he had a way of making everyone feel comfortable and relaxed.
