Instructor

Dan Reggi

Dan has developed and instructed HVAC/R courses, seminars, and workshops for over 15 years. He started with a very hands-on approach, working for Emerson as a gas technician and refrigeration mechanic (313A) across Canada. Working for Emerson is where he began teaching end users, technicians, engineers, and everyone in between as the product expert for Liebert Canada.

Dan went on to teach HVAC/R at Humber College for 10 years, where he developed and delivered a practical understanding of 15 different courses, both in the classroom and in the lab. He has recently moved on to Evolve Home Services as their Director of Technical Services.

At Evolve, he is responsible for overseeing residential mechanical design, equipment selection, technical training, and service.
