New Reno Office Hosts First-Ever In-House Boiler Training

Reno Boiler Training

After moving into a new, larger office in 2020, RFMCO finally hosts its first-ever in-house steam and hydronic boiler operators workshop for Reno customers

In November 2020, we moved into a new, larger office located in the Tahoe Reno Industrial Center (TRIC) in Sparks, NV. This move is in line with the growing Reno-Sparks area. While our new location provides additional workshop space and inventory storage, we also now have the capacity to host larger in-person training events.

The boiler operator workshops are lecture-based and have been developed by R.F. MacDonald Co.’s certified boiler technicians, boiler service managers and training experts with decades of field experience. The class is currently being taught by RFMCO’s corporate trainer John Holtz and includes an exhibit of boiler accessories and controls.
