HVAC technician

An HVAC technician installs, maintains, and repairs the heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration systems that control indoor climate. They set up and connect equipment, diagnose and fix problems with electrical, mechanical, and refrigerant systems, perform seasonal maintenance, and keep buildings comfortable and air systems running efficiently.

The work blends mechanical, electrical, and refrigeration knowledge, with demand that peaks in temperature extremes and a mix of installation and service calls. Technicians work for HVAC contractors in homes and commercial buildings.

The job suits versatile, hands-on problem-solvers who want a skilled trade with strong year-round demand and the variety of diagnosing different systems every day.
