What can be difficult is finding the best contractor to bring your project to life. In recent years, finding a Radiant Panel Association member contractor has been an important first step. Now the RPA offers an even greater level of assurance and distinction through its rigorous certification program.

RPA Certified installers and designers have committed themselves to staying technically abreast of today's emerging technologies. RPA members have always had your interests at heart; Certified Members take additional pride in offering you the best systems possible in our rapidly evolving industry.

As RPA Certified Installers and Designers, our mission is to bring to your project proven knowledge, experience, quality and skill.

Designed in conjunction with RPA's technical texts, both RPA Radiant Designer and Radiant Installer certification tests are rigorous.

But the certification itself represents more than bookwork: it involves a combination of experience in the field and previous RPA training or its equivalent, as well as passing the tough certification exam.

The Designer Certification emphasizes applied theory, accurate heat loss calculation, system design, equipment selection, control strategy, system performance, and the ability to produce technically sound, comprehensive designs.

The Installer Certification emphasizes hands-on field installation and maintenance, including the ability to understand properly prepared plans and drawings, select the right equipment, assemble the system with quality workmanship, and then document and service the installation.

What RPA certification really provides is the finest possible comfort using a heat already regarded the world's best. Certified installers benefit from the Radiant Panel Association's growing member resources. And YOU, the consumer, ultimately benefit from choosing from among its educated best.
