  • Job prospects are expected to be excellent, particularly for those with training from an accredited technical school or with formal apprenticeship training.
  • Obtaining certification through one of several organizations is increasingly recommended by employers and may increase advancement opportunities.

>> EMPLOYMENT IN HVAC

Heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers held about 270,000 jobs in 2004; almost half worked for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors.

The remainder were employed in a variety of industries throughout the country, reflecting a widespread dependence on climate-control systems. Some worked for fuel oil dealers, refrigeration and air-conditioning service and repair shops, schools, and stores that sell heating and air-conditioning systems. About 15 percent of mechanics and installers were self-employed.

Median hourly earnings of HVAC mechanics and installers were $17.43 in May 2004. The middle 50 percent earned between $13.51 and $22.21 per hour. The lowest 10 percent earned less than 10.88, and the top 10 percent earned more than $27.11.

>> JOB OUTLOOK IN HVAC

A growing number of retirements of highly skilled technicians are expected to generate many job openings. In addition, employment of heating, air-conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is projected to increase faster than average for all occupations through the year 2014.

As the population and stock of buildings grows, so does the demand for residential, commercial, and industrial climate-control systems. The increased complexity of HVACR systems, increasing the possibility that equipment may malfunction, also will create opportunities for service technicians.

Technicians who specialize in installation work may expedience periods of unemployment when the level of new construction activity declines, but maintenance and repair work usually remains relatively stable. People and businesses depend on their climate-control systems and must keep them in good working order, regardless of economic conditions.
