This exam book package brings together the listed materials used to study wet or water-based comfort-heating systems, residential and commercial load calculations, mechanical installations, fuel-gas requirements, energy conservation, duct design, code administration, and North Carolina technician licensing rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHeating Group 1 work involves comfort-heating systems that use high- or low-pressure steam, vapor, or hot water, including the piping, ducts, and mechanical equipment connected with those systems. Candidates preparing for this examination should understand how boilers, pumps, piping, controls, heat-transfer equipment, combustion systems, fuel-gas components, and building requirements work together as part of a complete heating installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe North Carolina Heating Group 1 Technician Exam Book Package supports preparation for both Class I and Class II technician candidates. A Class I Heating Group 1 Technician works within the broader Heating Group 1 scope while serving as a sublicensee of a properly licensed Heating Group 1 contractor. A Class II Heating Group 1 Technician is limited to the applicable work in single-family detached dwellings and must also serve as a sublicensee of a Heating Group 1 contractor. A technician credential is not a contracting license.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe package includes the North Carolina Administration Code and Policies, Fuel Gas Code, Mechanical Code, Energy Conservation Code, Residential Code, and the Board’s Laws \u0026amp; Rules. These publications address enforceable code provisions, permitting, inspection procedures, fuel-gas systems, mechanical equipment, energy performance, residential installations, technician qualifications, supervision, and license responsibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical references expand preparation beyond code lookup. Manual J and Manual N support residential and small-commercial load calculations. Manual D and Manual Q address residential and commercial duct-system design. Manual CS provides guidance on HVAC applications, systems, and equipment. The Uniform Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act supports study of regulated boilers and pressure vessels, while the ductulator helps candidates practice relationships among airflow, friction rate, duct size, and velocity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the examination is open book, familiarity with the references is essential. Candidates should know what each publication covers, where major chapters and tables are located, how definitions affect the application of a rule, and how to follow exceptions and cross-references. Organized preparation can help candidates move directly to the correct source instead of searching through several books for every question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eWhat You Get\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"border: 3px solid #d32f2f; padding: 20px; margin: 25px 0; background-color: #fff7f7;\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNorth Carolina Code \u0026amp; Regulatory References\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorth Carolina Administration Code and Policies, 2018 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorth Carolina Fuel Gas Code, 2018 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorth Carolina Mechanical Code, 2018 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorth Carolina Energy Conservation Code, 2018 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNorth Carolina Residential Code, 2018 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNC Board’s Laws \u0026amp; Rules – 2026 Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUniform Boiler and Pressure Vessel Act\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eACCA Technical Manuals \u0026amp; Design References\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual CS – Commercial Applications, Systems \u0026amp; Equipment (1993)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual J – Residential Load Calculations, 2016 Reprint, 8th Full Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual N – Commercial Load Calculation for Small Commercial Buildings, 5th Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual Q – Commercial Low Pressure, Low Velocity Duct System Design (1990)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManual D – Residential Duct Systems, 2016, 3rd Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDuctulator\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"color: #d32f2f;\"\u003eExam Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe North Carolina Heating Group 1 Technician examination is administered under the authority of the North Carolina State Board of Examiners of Plumbing, Heating, and Fire Sprinkler Contractors.

Class I applies to the broader Heating Group 1 technician scope, while Class II is limited to qualifying work in single-family detached dwellings. Both credentials apply to wet or water-based comfort-heating systems, and both require the technician to work as a sublicensee under an appropriately licensed Heating Group 1 contractor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Heating Technician examination has a four-hour testing period. Applicants are required to pass the technical and Board laws and rules portions associated with the category and class of license sought. Unlike a contractor applicant, a technician applicant is not pursuing the contractor Business and Law credential through this examination path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe examination may address steam, vapor, and hot-water comfort-heating systems; boilers; pumps; piping; controls; heat-transfer equipment; mechanical requirements; fuel gas; combustion air; venting; residential and commercial applications; energy conservation; load calculations; duct-system principles; code administration; and technician licensing responsibilities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuestions may ask candidates to locate a specific code provision, interpret a table, identify an approved installation method, apply a load-calculation procedure, recognize a boiler requirement, or determine the correct response to a practical field condition. Some questions may require candidates to distinguish between similar code terms or determine which reference controls the situation described.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical and regulatory portions require different study habits. Technical preparation should focus on system operation, equipment, piping, controls, calculations, and installation practices.

Manual D supports residential duct-system design, and Manual Q covers commercial low-pressure, low-velocity duct design. Manual CS provides broader equipment and system-application guidance. The ductulator should be practiced regularly so that airflow, friction rate, velocity, and duct-size relationships are familiar before test day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReference materials must remain in an acceptable form.
