Quietside recently expanded its Forth Worth-based training center, and the distributor hopes that individuals attending classes will learn as much about installation aesthetics as they will about Samsung’s variable refrigerant flow systems.

“There’s an HVACR trend that’s pressuring contractors to make an air-conditioning installation look as good as they function,” said Matt Wall, system air conditioning engineering and VRF technical trainer for Quietside, a master distributor of Samsung products. “Architects and engineers are realizing that the visual impact a competed project makes on building owners and prospective clients can greatly affect their future business. Air conditioning systems can’t just work well anymore, they have to look great, too.”
