Equipment context
In Lycoming County, utility gas is the leading home-heating source and 70% of housing was built before 1980, which helps frame the equipment and retrofit skills worth asking to see in the lab. Ask to see where students practice combustion safety, venting, gas controls, airflow, and carbon-monoxide testing.
