Benefits of Gas Technician 3 Certification

Gas technicians install, inspect, repair and maintain gas lines and gas equipment. They work with gas meters, regulators, heating units, and gas-fired appliances. In Ontario, you must be certified by the Technical Standards and Safety Authority (TSSA) to become a licensed gas technician.

Bill Pidlysny
Instructor, Gas Tech

I have a wide variety of talents some of which are not directly related but add to the sum of experiences. Directly I have a Gas Technician 1 Certificate, Oil Burner Technician 2, and Stationary Engineer 4th Class, with extensive background in using oil, nat. gas and propane as a fuel source to provide heat.

I have also operated many businesses in the transportation and aviation sector but primarily focused on the HVAC industry. I hold patent right in Canada and the U.S, and have ran for public office on the municipal level. As an instructor I enjoy passing on my talents and experience to those who are inspiring to become Gas Technicians.
