How to get an HVAC job

HVAC professionals need an in-depth understanding of electrical principles so that they can diagnose problems and perform necessary repairs and changes. These can be mechanical or electrical in nature. HVAC professionals can find work with a wide variety of businesses, including those that specialise in installation, building, food distribution, engineering, and service. Some technicians operate as entrepreneurs, while others instruct students at trade schools or operate in wholesale/retail trade.

How to become a HVAC technician

There are several paths to take if you are interested in HVAC.

You have the option of teaching yourself or studying under a qualified HVAC technician.

Apprenticeship programmes combine classroom instruction with on-the-job training with a skilled craftsperson. A level 2, 3, or 4 Air Conditioning, Refrigeration, and Ventilation Learnership is available at some businesses. You also have the option of earning a National Certificate in Engineering Studies at any of the N1, N2, or N3 levels. Successfully completing a trade test is the end goal of most training tprogrammes. Possessing prior work experience is a definite advantage.

Pros and cons of an HVAC job
  • With the rising need and widespread availability of HVAC systems, you'll be able to set up a shop or settle down pretty much everywhere.
  • After finishing a formal training programme, you'll be eligible for extensive on-the-job training before being promoted from the entry level.
  • Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that are in good working order have multiple positive effects: they assist in saving money for their owners, keep occupants cosy in their homes and places of business, and have a smaller footprint on the environment.
  • On the other hand, HVAC techs have busier times of the year than others. During peak heating and cooling seasons, HVAC technicians often work a lot of extra hours. As a HVAC technician, you run the risk of getting hurt because you often have to work with heavy equipment, extreme heat and/or cold, and sometimes you have to deal with dangerous materials.
