Type of monograph: Report

Summary

The rising demand for air-conditioners in India will pose challenges from climate and energy consumption standpoints. The role of trained service technicians will be key in maintaining the rated efficiency and performance of units, as well as ensuring proper lifecycle refrigerant management.
This report tries to capture certain attributes of the room air-conditioner (RAC) servicing sector such as levels of training and awareness of technicians, income drivers and financial status, on-job challenges, as well as technicians’ aspirations and preferences on what should happen in order to revamp the informal RAC servicing sector in India.
It also attempts to understand how service technicians view the government’s existing aims, targets, and programmes pertaining to training and certification, HFC phase-down and skilling in the RAC servicing sector. The study assimilates these perceptions in the context of the prevailing training and certification programmes, to provide recommendations for the roll-out of more effective strategies.
