HOW OUR PAY WORKS
(the part other shops won't put in writing)
  • Guaranteed floor: you never earn less than $32/hr for the week. Slow week, training week, rainy February
  • the floor holds. This is not a draw you owe back.
  • Task pay + commission above the floor: you earn a strong percentage of the work you sell and complete yourself, plus paid lead turnovers
  • when you spot a system that's ready for replacement, our comfort advisors run the sales appointment and you get a commission when it sells.
  • What that adds up to: our techs currently average $32
  • 70/hr.
The floor removes the feast-or-famine risk of performance pay; the commissions remove the ceiling.

  • Monday-Friday schedule
  • no on-call rotation.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
