HVAC Careers
Most HVAC specialists start out as apprentices, with simple tasks such as insulating refrigerant lines or cleaning furnaces. They may quickly advance to cutting and soldering pipes and sheet metal and checking electrical and electronic circuits. Then they often go into business for themselves. If you're an independent type who is persistent, inquisitive and mechanically inclined, you'll take pride in a heating and air conditioning career.
Among service technicians, the fastest growth rate will be among heating, air conditioning and refrigeration mechanics and installers, an occupation that is expected to grow 31.8% through 2012. Job options exist with:
- Building contractors
- Residential maintenance and service companies
- Plumbing supply and hardware shops
- Your own business
