Product Validation Reports
Certified KVAR Residential Technician:

This vocational training is for residential
installations only. Prior electrical knowledge is
helpful, but not necessary.  Some states require
installers to be certified electricians. Installers make
from $50.00-$100.00 per unit installation, which
takes approximately 15-30 minutes each. Training
is two days and can be provided on site. The
small business opportunity is a side benefit.

Certified KVAR Master Installer:

Includes residential, commercial & industrial
installations. Applicants must be certified or
master electricians. Some installations are union;
some are not, depending on the commercial
customer. On residential installations, the rate of
pay is $100.00 -$150.00 per unit installed.
However, Master Installers also work on larger
projects that take several days to complete, so
their rate of pay is approximately $75.00-$125.00
per hour on commercial and industrial
installations. The small business opportunity is a
side benefit.
