This Ultimate package helps bring those materials together so candidates can prepare with structure and consistency.

Open-book contractor exams require strong reference navigation skills. Candidates need to understand how each book is organized, where major topics are located, and how to move through indexes, tables, definitions, illustrations, and code sections efficiently during a timed exam. The goal is to build both trade understanding and speed with the references before test day.

This package includes the listed rental books, 1 year of course access, and Application Service. The course access helps candidates study with a clear structure, revisit difficult topics, and prepare at a realistic pace.

Exam Details

The Arizona Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Including Solar Commercial Contractor (C-79) exam is a trade-focused contractor exam for candidates pursuing the commercial HVAC/R classification that includes solar. Candidates should prepare for technical content related to commercial air conditioning, refrigeration, evaporative cooling, heating, ventilating, mechanical systems, fuel gas systems, plumbing code topics, low-pressure boilers, ductwork, construction safety, and solar water and pool heating concepts.

The books included in this Ultimate package support several key areas of preparation. The Code of Federal Regulations – 29 CFR Part 1926 supports OSHA construction safety review. This reference is useful for jobsite safety, worker protection, hazard recognition, equipment safety, and safe work practices that apply to construction environments. Safety knowledge is an important part of contractor readiness because HVAC/R contractors often work around mechanical equipment, electricity, ladders, tools, fuel gas systems, roof access, and active jobsites.

The International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), 2018 supports study of fuel gas piping, gas appliances, venting, combustion air, pressure testing, materials, sizing concepts, and safe installation practices. Fuel gas knowledge can be important for commercial HVAC/R contractors working with heating equipment, gas-fired appliances, combustion systems, and related mechanical installations.

The International Mechanical Code (IMC), 2018 supports preparation for commercial mechanical systems, ventilation, exhaust, duct systems, equipment installation, combustion air, clearances, appliances, and mechanical code requirements. Candidates should become familiar with the organization of the code, definitions, tables, and installation provisions so they can locate information efficiently during an open-book exam.

The International Plumbing Code (IPC), 2018 supports review of plumbing-related code concepts that may connect to HVAC/R work. Commercial mechanical systems may involve condensate disposal, water-related connections, drains, fixtures, piping, and installation requirements that require familiarity with plumbing code organization and terminology.

Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning, 22nd Edition supports broad HVAC/R trade study. Candidates can use this reference to review refrigeration cycles, air conditioning systems, heating systems, controls, components, service principles, diagnostics, troubleshooting, and applied technical knowledge. Low Pressure Boilers, 5th Edition supports preparation for boiler-related heating concepts, boiler components, operation, safety, controls, and maintenance topics. The Ductulator supports practical duct sizing, airflow, velocity, friction rate, and air distribution review. Solar Water and Pool Heating Design and Installation Manual supports study of solar water heating and pool heating design and installation concepts.

Open Book Test

The Arizona C-79 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Including Solar Commercial Contractor exam is an open-book exam. Open-book testing allows approved reference materials to be used during the exam, but it still requires preparation. Candidates must know how to find information quickly and apply it correctly while working under time limits.

For open-book contractor exams, candidates should study the references before exam day. The strongest preparation includes learning each book’s table of contents, index, definitions, chapter organization, tables, charts, diagrams, and technical sections. The books are valuable only when candidates know how to use them efficiently.

The code references in this package are especially important for navigation practice. OSHA 29 CFR Part 1926, the International Fuel Gas Code, the International Mechanical Code, and the International Plumbing Code contain specific requirements that may be located in definitions, tables, subsections, exceptions, or installation provisions. Candidates should practice moving through these books so they are not trying to learn the layout for the first time during the exam.

The trade references help strengthen the knowledge behind the questions. Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning supports general HVAC/R understanding. Low Pressure Boilers supports boiler-related heating knowledge. The Ductulator supports duct sizing and airflow practice. Solar Water and Pool Heating Design and Installation Manual supports the solar-related portion of the C-79 preparation path.

Open-book does not remove the need to understand the trade. It rewards candidates who combine technical knowledge with strong reference skills. A prepared candidate should be able to recognize the topic, choose the right reference, locate the correct section, and apply the information carefully.

Licensing Steps

The Arizona contractor licensing process is handled through the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Candidates pursuing the C-79 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Including Solar Commercial Contractor classification should begin by confirming that the C-79 classification matches the commercial HVAC/R and solar-related work they intend to perform.

After choosing the correct classification, candidates should prepare for the required contractor examinations. This Ultimate package supports the trade exam preparation process through the listed references and 1 year of course access. Candidates should build a study plan that includes HVAC/R trade review, code navigation, safety study, fuel gas systems, mechanical code topics, plumbing code concepts, low-pressure boiler knowledge, duct sizing, and solar water and pool heating preparation.

Once candidates are prepared to test, they must follow the current examination registration process through the approved testing system. After completing the required examinations, candidates move into the contractor license application stage with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. This stage may include business information, qualifying party details, license classification selection, financial or bonding items, background-related documentation, and other state-required materials.

This Ultimate package includes Application Service to help candidates stay organized during the licensing application process. Application Service supports the paperwork side of the licensing path so candidates can move from exam preparation into application readiness with a clearer structure.

A successful licensing plan should include both exam preparation and application preparation. Candidates should study consistently, organize required information early, and stay focused on the full licensing process rather than only the test date.

State Requirements

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors licenses and regulates contractor classifications in Arizona. The C-79 Air Conditioning and Refrigeration, Including Solar classification is a commercial specialty classification for contractors preparing to perform commercial HVAC/R work that includes solar-related systems within the permitted scope of the license.

Contractors pursuing this classification should be prepared for work involving air conditioning, refrigeration, evaporative cooling, heating, ventilating, and related commercial systems. Because the classification includes solar, candidates should also prepare for solar water and pool heating concepts tied to the listed preparation materials.

Arizona contractor licensing is separate from trade experience, employment history, or purchasing exam materials. Candidates must complete the applicable state licensing process before performing regulated contracting work as a licensed contractor. That process may include examinations, business information, qualifying party details, documentation, bonding or financial requirements, and other items required by the state.

This package supports the exam preparation side with the listed books and 1 year of course access. It also supports the licensing paperwork stage with Application Service. The combination helps candidates prepare for both the technical exam and the administrative process connected to becoming licensed.
