It's official. As of August 1st, National Comfort Institute's (NCI) headquarters and main training center relocated to Morristown, a small eastern Tennessee town nestled between two amazing lakes and the Smokey Mountains. Morristown is just an hour from Knoxville, TN, and an hour and a half from Asheville, NC. It's also within four hours' driving distance to many cities in several southern states.
NCI's relocation, nearly a year in the making, was partially driven by geography, with better proximity to several of the largest
air conditioning markets in the country. Coupled with our Southern California training center, we will have better coverage than ever. Of course, our many distributor partners will continue to help provide nationwide training coverage.

Another dedicated space features a 1,400 sq. ft. video studio designed to enhance NCI's signature online, live training with multiple cameras and working HVAC systems.
The Morristown facility provides more than 30 parking spaces and is within minutes of numerous hotels and area
restaurants.
We also enhanced the original all-electric facility with a new natural gas line that will power the multiple combustion appliances, including furnaces, a boiler system, and a traditional water heater. We have plans for additional enhancements to the hands-on systems.
The team here at NCI is very excited about what is sure to be the most state-of-the-art High-Performance HVAC training facility in the country. We will begin holding in-person certification classes here this Fall and most of our online classes.
Come visit us for the training and make extra time to enjoy the amazing lakes and mountains in Eastern Tennessee!
