609 Parody Video

Based on the Beach Boys hit "409", AVI's "609" is a fun way to remind A/C technicians they need to be Section 609 certified.

Reminiscent of the hysteria when the Beach Boys would take the stage, you'll be transported back to the 60's, when we'd all agree A/C servicing was a little less complicated.

So take a break, sit back and watch "609", presented by AVI. Surf's Up!


The Section 609 Certification Training Program is produced by AVI with support from MACS, the Mobile Air Conditioning Society, and contains the information you will need to pass the Section 609 certification test.
