• 3–6 years of experience in residential HVAC service and installation.
• Strong sales and upselling skills in a residential environment.
• Proven ability to diagnose systems, read schematics, and communicate technical concepts clearly.
• Willingness to train, lead, and inspire others in the field.
• Team player with a service-first mindset and a commitment to doing things right
• Comfortable working in crawlspaces, attics, and all weather conditions.
Requirements

• Bonuses & commissions on service plans, accessories, and system sales
• Health, dental & vision insurance (company covers 65% of individual premium)
• 401(k) with 3% match after 6 months
• Paid time off + 6 paid holidays per year
• Ongoing paid training (EPA/NATE certifications, leadership development)
• Growth path toward Service Manager role
Why Join This Company?
