Heather Dyer

Owner / Director

Heather Dyer founded Dyer Appliance Academy in 2013. While managing the family appliance repair business, she recognized the lack of hands-on training options for new technicians beyond the traditional on-the-job training solution.

Her vision for Dyer was to offer a dedicated, structured learning environment that facilitates better engagement and retention than OTJ with less frustration and accelerated training times, better preparing students for success in the field.

Dyer Appliance Repair Academy

Dyer brings together two training paths for students ready to build real trade skills. Through Dyer Appliance Repair Academy, students can attend hands-on appliance repair training in Richland Hills, Texas. Through Dyer Training Center, students can explore flexible online training options in Appliance Repair and HVAC.

Whether you are starting a new career, expanding your technical skills, or looking for a faster path into the trades, Dyer provides focused instruction, practical training, and enrollment guidance to help you take the next step with confidence.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I run an appliance repair company, and lemme tell ya — I’ve sent techs to Dyer Appliance Academy and they came back actually knowing what they’re doing. I couldn’t believe it! I send ‘em out clueless, they come back diagnosing sealed systems like they’ve been baptized in Freon.

Before Dyer, one of my guys thought “amps” was short for “amphibians.” I said “check voltage,” he pulled out a flashlight. Now? He’s out there quoting Ohm’s Law like he wrote it. Dyer turned my guys from walking liability waivers into actual technicians. It’s a miracle.

And the instructors? Eric could teach a toaster how to troubleshoot itself. No fluff, no filler — just real, hands-on knowledge with a side of "pay attention or blow something up." It's like boot camp for people who don’t want to get electrocuted.

Now I sleep better. My customers are happy, my callback rate is down, and my phone doesn’t ring after 9 p.m. unless someone’s cat is stuck in a dryer.

If you’re a business owner and you’re tired of techs who can’t tell a capacitor from a can of Red Bull — send them to Dyer. Best money I ever spent
