This position is for an experienced HVAC installer who already knows the trade. We are not looking for someone who is just getting started in HVAC. We are not looking for an installer who still needs someone beside them to walk them through a change-out. And we are not looking for someone whose experience consists primarily of assisting another installer. We're looking for a seasoned HVAC professional who can walk onto a residential installation, evaluate the job, develop a plan, lead the installation, solve problems as they come up, commission the system correctly, and confidently put their name on the finished work. You should understand HVAC well enough to know why you're doing something—not just how someone taught you to do it. If you've spent years in the field, know residential HVAC inside and out, and take serious pride in your installations, keep reading.
YOU MAY BE EXACTLY WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
IF... You can look at an installation before touching the first tool and already see the job coming together. You're thinking about: Airflow. Equipment sizing. Ductwork. Static pressure. Return and supply requirements. Line-set routing. Electrical requirements. Drainage. Clearances. Equipment specifications. Manufacturer requirements. Startup and commissioning. And the potential problems that a less-experienced installer might not notice until it's too late. You've been doing this long enough that when an installation doesn't go according to plan, you don't freeze and immediately call someone asking what to do. You troubleshoot. You think. You find the problem. You communicate. And you solve it. That's the level of experience we're looking for.
THIS IS NOT AN ENTRY-LEVEL POSITION
To be clear: We are specifically looking for a highly experienced HVAC installer. The right candidate should have substantial hands-on residential HVAC installation experience and be capable of operating at a Lead Installer level from day one. You should be comfortable taking responsibility for an installation from start to finish without requiring constant supervision. Ideally, you've spent 5+ years working hands-on in residential HVAC , with significant experience completing and leading full system installations. Years alone don't make someone great at HVAC, though. We're much more interested in what you can actually do. If you've been in HVAC for ten years but still need someone else to troubleshoot every difficult installation, this probably isn't the position for you.
YOU NEED TO KNOW HVAC
We expect you to have strong working knowledge and hands-on experience with: Residential HVAC installation Full system replacements and change-outs Split systems Heat pumps Furnaces Air handlers Condensers Package units Refrigerant piping Line-set installation and modification Proper brazing procedures Nitrogen while brazing Nitrogen pressure testing Leak testing Proper evacuation procedures Micron gauges and vacuum measurement Refrigerant charging Superheat and subcooling Electrical connections Low-voltage wiring Thermostats and controls Condensate drainage Sheet metal fabrication and modification Supply and return ductwork Airflow Static pressure Equipment sizing Installation clearances Manufacturer specifications Equipment startup System commissioning Diagnosing installation-related problems You should also understand how the entire HVAC system works together. We're not looking for someone who can simply connect equipment. We're looking for someone who understands what happens after that equipment starts running.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
You'll take ownership of residential HVAC installations from beginning to end.
You'll:
Review the job before installation begins Verify equipment and materials Identify potential installation issues before removing existing equipment Plan the installation Lead residential HVAC change-outs Install equipment according to manufacturer specifications Make necessary ductwork and sheet-metal modifications Properly install refrigerant piping Braze, pressure test, evacuate, and charge systems Complete electrical and control wiring Install thermostats and accessories Complete condensate drainage correctly Evaluate airflow and ductwork Identify problems that could prevent the new equipment from performing properly Complete startup and commissioning procedures Verify system operation before leaving Troubleshoot problems independently Direct and train helpers or less-experienced installers when assigned Communicate unexpected job conditions quickly Complete required job documentation and photos Protect the customer's property Maintain a clean and professional jobsite Explain basic system operation to the homeowner Make sure the installation is actually finished before calling the job complete
WE EXPECT LEAD-INSTALLER LEVEL OWNERSHIP
We're hiring experience because we need someone capable of making good decisions in the field. That means if something doesn't look right, you don't ignore it. If equipment doesn't match the job, you speak up. If the ductwork isn't adequate, you identify it. If you're missing something necessary to complete the installation correctly, you communicate it. If a helper doesn't know how to do something, you teach them. If you make a mistake, you own it and fix it. And if you see something that could create a callback, you handle it before leaving the customer's home. We don't expect you to know absolutely everything. Nobody does. But at this level, we do expect you to know the difference between a situation you can troubleshoot yourself and one that legitimately needs additional support.
QUALITY AND EFFICIENCY BOTH MATTER
We don't believe quality means taking forever. And we don't believe efficiency means cutting corners. A highly experienced installer should be able to deliver both . You know how to prepare for a job. You know what materials you're likely to need. You know what to check before removing the existing equipment. You know how to keep a helper productive. You know how to organize the installation so you're not making six unnecessary trips to the supply house. And you've made enough mistakes over the years to know which ones you never want to make again. Experience should make you better and more efficient.
CALLBACKS MATTER
We understand that occasional callbacks happen in HVAC. What we don't accept are repeated callbacks caused by preventable installation mistakes.
Things like:
Loose wiring. Improper drainage. Poor brazing. Leaks. Incorrect charging. Improper airflow. Unsealed ductwork. Equipment that wasn't properly commissioned. Thermostat problems that should have been caught. Messy workmanship. Or simply failing to check the system before leaving. Your work should be checked before the customer has to check it for you.
YOU'LL PROBABLY LOVE THIS ROLE
IF... You take pride in being good at your trade. You can walk into a mechanical room and immediately spot things other people miss. Sloppy installations bother you. Crooked equipment bothers you. Messy wiring bothers you. Poorly routed line sets bother you. Unsealed ductwork bothers you. And being sent back to fix something you should have caught the first time really bothers you. You enjoy solving difficult installation problems. You like teaching younger technicians. You don't need someone standing over you. You take ownership. You communicate. You prepare. You think ahead. And at the end of an installation, you like stepping back, looking at the finished system and thinking: "I'd put this in my own house."
THIS POSITION WILL NOT BE A GOOD FIT
IF... You're new to HVAC Most of your experience has been as an install helper You cannot independently complete a residential change-out You need step-by-step supervision You're uncomfortable troubleshooting problems You don't understand airflow or ductwork You don't understand proper evacuation and charging procedures You regularly cut corners to finish faster You don't follow manufacturer specifications Your jobs frequently result in preventable callbacks You don't clean up after yourself You don't take care of company tools or vehicles You regularly show up unprepared You hide mistakes You blame everyone else when an installation becomes difficult You don't communicate You aren't willing to help train less-experienced team members "That's good enough" is part of your normal vocabulary There are plenty of companies looking for entry-level installers. That's simply not what we're hiring for with this position.
