I mean... making 60 to 75 grand a yr and not paying for ANY gasoline and having a company but your work boots coats and supply you w jeans and shirts is pretty nicer too tho right???

[Beantownpierce34]

@Legitbusiness1182 well...what do you do..treated like shit??? I mean u r your own boss for the most part..you have a company vehicle a gas card...a work phone...more job security than construction. You have to be smart and a problem solver as well. I'd rather use my brain then break my back lifting schedule 40 pipe all day. Maybe your just jealous bc your too stupid to have a job like this????? It's OK. It happens.

[Legitbusiness1182]

I HEARD ONLY CORN BALLS DO THIS TYPE OF WORK, PEOPLE WHO WANNA WORK FOR LITTLE MONEY AS POSSIBLE AND GET TREATED LIKE STRAIGHT UP SHIT FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. I MEAN IF THIS ISNT TRUE PLEASE ENLIGHTEN ME ON THE REALITY OF THIS GIG.

[niall777]

ahha this is gold!

[erd675]

starting out I would try to get a job during the summer time so you get all your training and usually a company will weed out bad techs before winter so learn as much as possible and show them you wanna WORK.Like said before good techs always get work.

[larsoevind]

In norway, we earn very good money to work with cooling. and i mean GOOD money!

[riperez81]

If you want to work 3 or 4 months out of the year for 9 bucks an hour and get treated like shit be an HVAC bitch.

[pclle]

haha what world are you living in? Im from Canada work 40 hours a week(sometimes more), sometimes drop a few hours in the colder months and make $33.00 and hour. What the fuck are you talking about? good HVAC bitches have an intense knowege of electrical and a wide variety of building system mechanicals along with the refrigeration cycle. I know some bitches that could put mechanical engineers to shame.

[riperez81]

First off you live in Canada, do you have any idea what its like to try to get a job in the US? Second what Im talking about is when you get started in the trade you get treated like shit and you get paid shit and yes your lucky to work 4 months out of the year. Did you make $33 an hour 40+ hours a week starting off? You must be a good head giver if you did! Before you start braggin about how much money and hours you get learn something about a country people actually give a fuck about.

[pclle]

hahaha whoa chill out man, put some details in your posts then, all im saying is stop assuming, your post could have easily been taken the wrong way. ya i started out with an excellent company, got paid a union rate and had my 40 right from the beginning. I've learned enough about my own country thanks. now I'm beginning to learn about America, and frankly I'm not enjoying the lessons

[ZuffaLtdDanaWhite]

@riperez81 For myself that was the reality of it in the beginning too, as it was hard to get a job in the industry without skill. If u have no connections u have to start from the bottom up. Even if it means 9-10$ an hr to gain enough skill and to prove yourself worthy of an apprenticeship. After that is signed your IN, and you got yourself a drivers license. its a great career and it takes great interest to succeed in it, unfortunate for you, you gave up in the beginning?

[ZuffaLtdDanaWhite]

@ZuffaLtdDanaWhite Also it might've been discouraging to work for some crumby ppl in the beginning and at that low $ rate of pay.

success in hvac-r consists of:

- strong will and desire

-mechanical aptitude

-continue to question and learn

-part-time HVAC-R courses

-Networking throughout HVAC-R wholesalers and Local union contractors A-Z list.

[pipeUA]

Good mechanics ALWAYS work all the time, bad ones not so much. The MORE training you get the BETTER for you to stay employed.

[pclle]

agreed ..go union

I have been a u.a service tech for 25 years. The pay in this area with benefits is around $25.00 to $40.00 and I have never had to look for a job. Its great. I have not traveled in 10 years. Everyone needs heat, they want a/c, they need electical work and they have to have water and must take a crap. Very good job if you like to work with your hands. A good service tech can always get a job if they are well trained. At least in the south. You must work and have a good company to work with.

[seanpd123]

the pay sucks and its busy as fuck threw the summer and slow in the winter.

[verdenodela1]

Are hvac technicians in demand in NYC?

How's the pay?

[ZZ327]

The only short term jobs are part time!

[mweezy]
