If you’re toying around the idea of a career change in the HVAC industry, then you are playing around with a great opportunity. The HVAC industry continues to grow year after year. The HVAC industry has many benefits to offer including offering generous benefits to their employees. As the world becomes more focused on workplace and home comfort as a means to lower greenhouse gasses, HVAC companies are in great demand to install efficient equipment, carry out maintenance, and repair equipment when needed. If you are still thinking about a career in the HVAC industry, here is why you should make the change and why Coastal Heat Pumps might be the right fit for you. 

Diverse Working Environment 

Everyday is a new day! Because there are many facets to our trade, it’s very unlikely that two days will be the same. Specializing in heating ventilation, as well as air conditioning, allows you to work in different locations and setups day-to-day. This means that your workplace is “in the field”. If working in an office sitting at a desk puts you off, consider that HVAC technicians are in high demand, and effective technicians are quick on their feet. 

Develop Your Skills 

As an HVAC technician you will quickly become versed with various types of equipment such as coolers, freezers, chillers, HRVs, furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, the list goes on. On a daily or weekly basis, troubleshooting, diagnosing, and servicing equipment is essential as clients are often unaware of their system’s problem. This develops your skills, expertise, and ability to solve similar problems quickly and effectively. Effective HVAC training programs through an apprenticeship or in your workplace will teach you everything you need to know.

Provides Room for Growth 

As mentioned before, the HVAC industry is booming and your work environment will be diverse. You will have the opportunity to troubleshoot, diagnose, repair, and replace components of equipment. As well, you will gain exposure to homeowners, vendors, technicians, and other tradesmen. As you gain more experience in the field, your career can broaden, or become specialized, you truly have the freedom to explore. Some HVAC technicians are known to deal with solar panels, heating systems, commercial refrigeration, and much more. The more experience you gain by working for an HVAC company, the more opportunities you’re exposed to.
