4 Reasons to Consider a Career in HVAC

The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) field is diverse and offers a multitude of job opportunities. The good news is, HVAC careers are always in demand.  In recent years, the industry has seen a rising need for skilled trade workers.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, “Employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to grow 13 percent from 2018 to 2028, much faster than the average for all occupations.”

This growth can be attributed to an increase in commercial and residential building construction, as well as the growing number of climate-control systems.

Here are four great reasons to consider a career in the HVAC service field:

1. You’ll Have Job Security

The HVAC industry is service based, which means these kind of jobs can’t be outsourced. No to mention, as long as there are buildings, there will be a need for skilled professionals to service them. Currently, the HVAC workforce is in high demand, making job security even stronger.

2. There’s Variety

HVAC professionals experience a variety of projects and no two days ever really look the same. Service calls can lead you to new installations on air conditioning units, furnaces, air purification systems, humidifiers and more. You can also be tasked with various repairs on different types of equipment.

3. You Don’t Need A College Degree

Four-year degrees are not the only way to a successful career. Most HVAC courses are designed to get you in the field quickly and can be done at the fraction of the time and cost as a college degree. HVAC courses prepare you with the skills you’ll need to enter the industry.

4. There’s Room to Grow

Training doesn’t stop once you’ve become an HVAC technician. As you advance in your career you can become specialized in a number of areas, such as testing and balancing, commercial refrigeration, solar panels and more.
