HVAC Technicians Help Keep Life Comfortable – Everywhere

Overview

Whether you live in a cold or warm climate, chances are your comfort level depends on some type of heating, ventilation and/or air conditioning (HVAC) system. It also depends on the skills of the professional HVAC technicians who install, maintain and repair those systems. So, if you like the idea of a hands-on career that’s all about making other people comfortable, a future as an HVAC technician might be a great option for you. Considering that the Bureau of Labor Statistics states that the median yearly pay is $48,730 per year, or $23.43 an hour and it sounds even better! Long-term job prospects, a career you can feel good about that has you interacting with all kinds of people from all walks of life – what’s not to love?*
