Training for Quality Contractors

Tradewinds Appropriate Technologies conducts training for the HVAC Contractors that are seeking to offer their customers superior products and services.

About our founder and Chief Instructor:

Paul Wieboldt, a NATE certified technician, is the president of Tradesman Heating and Air Conditioning Services in Waco, Texas. Paul, his wife, Marji, and their eldest son, Chris, are in their 14th year of operating their family business that focuses mainly on residential HVAC service and installation including geothermal systems. He recently served two years as the President of the Waco ACCA chapter.

In 1999, Paul started another related business called Tradewinds Appropriate Technologies. Tradewinds has served ONCOR Electric Delivery (was TXU ED) providing onsite 3rd party validation for testing duct leakage and system performance on over 5000 residential systems. Tradewinds has also been involved in several energy efficiency programs with such entities as the EPA and ICF International, among others.

The National Comfort Institute certified Paul and his staff as Air Balancing / Diagnostic Technicians and Carbon Monoxide / Combustion Analysts. He also is a certified HERS Rater for the ENERGY STAR® program and an IGSHPA certified geothermal system installer.

One of Paul's main interests is teaching and training. He is currently training HVAC contractors and technicians on behalf of ACCA-Texas and ONCOR Electric Delivery in residential system design, equipment selection and duct design. He offers consulting and tutoring in these areas for small groups and classroom instruction for larger groups as well as an online class for ACCA-Texas for CEU credits in the State of Texas.

Paul and his staff have authored several teaching manuals and corresponding classroom courses for ACCA-NTX, ACCA-Texas and the Texas Department of Housing and Community Development.

Paul is one of the regional instructors for the National Comfort Institute of Cleveland, OH.
