It’s the perfect time to take the leap and experience a completely new and rewarding career! Not convinced? Here are three top reasons to consider becoming an HVAC tech:
Minimal requirements.
One of the great things about starting an HVAC career is that there’s minimal barrier to entry. To become an HVAC tech, you typically only need a high school diploma and training from an accredited HVAC program (typically, these run anywhere from 6 months to two years). For techs who wish to gain more experience upon entering the field, there are also apprenticeship options available. In many cases, HVAC techs learn directly from seasoned workers at their companies who provide in-depth supervision and oversight.
In-demand employment opportunities.
If there’s one area of work that has ample job opportunities, it’s the HVAC industry. As an HVAC tech, you will never struggle to get a job. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the HVAC field is expected to experience a 15 percent employment growth by 2030, with many types of positions and specialties rapidly increasing in demand across the country. Techs in the field can be employed by HVAC companies, as well as mechanical contractors, commercial businesses, and many other entities. If you’re looking for a vast degree of employment options, the HVAC field employs techs in countless sectors and industries.
Freedom and flexibility.
If you’re seeking the freedom to work a strictly part-time or on a contractual basis, the HVAC field offers this type of flexibility. From hourly jobs to temporary assignments, there’s a growing need for HVAC techs in all types of employment capacities at both small and large companies. If you’re unsure of how to find a job that aligns with your preferences, working with a staffing agency can connect you with different opportunities, including temporary, direct-to-hire, and direct hire positions.
