Ever been curious about a career in the HVAC industry? If you’re exploring new career options, this year may be the ideal time to pursue a job as an HVAC technician. With the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reporting the HVAC job outlook expected to grow 6 percent by 2032, it’s never been a better time to consider entering this growing field. Here are three reasons why it’s worth earning your HVAC certification in 2024:
Numerous job opportunities.
As the need for HVAC techs becomes greater by the day, there are numerous HVAC opportunities at all types of companies across the U.S. This affords workers the freedom to work in a variety of capacities, including temporary placements, full-time tech jobs, and seasonal positions. If you enjoy diversifying your routine and want a job that allows you to set your own pace throughout the year, an HVAC career can give you just that!
On-the-job training.
If you’re new to the HVAC industry, most certification programs and employers will require on-the-job training to equip you with the necessary skills to perform your job safely and effectively. On-the-job training often provides a strong foundation of knowledge for emerging HVAC techs as they learn the trade and gain confidence on the job. Many techs consider this to be a major benefit, as they have an opportunity to earn a competitive income while being mentored at work by seasoned technicians in the field.
Competitive pay.
HVAC jobs are increasingly offering competitive pay, especially as demand for qualified technicians has risen in recent years. Obtaining an HVAC certification allows you to command higher-than-average hourly pay, especially as you gain more experience in the field. While pay can vary with different factors, such as employer and location, working with a staffing firm can help you negotiate a higher hourly wage and access more job opportunities.
