Question 54Refrigeration & AC - 1st Asst/Chief

The correct answer is C) Type I or Universal technician. Under the EPA Clean Air Act rules, persons recovering refrigerant from small appliances must be certified as a Type I or Universal technician. This is because Type I certification covers the proper handling of refrigerants in small appliances, such as household refrigerators and window air conditioners. Type II and Type III certifications are for larger equipment, such as commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems, respectively. Therefore, Type I or Universal certification is required for technicians working on small appliances to ensure proper refrigerant recovery and handling.
