Career Profile
Heating Air Conditioning Careers
HVAC careers have evolved post World War II. Since the first 30 homes were erected in Levittown, the first modern subdivision, homeowners have relied on the specialized skills of the heating and air mechanic. As a post war economy flourished and more homes and business began to spring up, the place of the HVAC technician in numerous Rolodexes was sealed. Today, just about every industry – retail, residential, commercial, industrial – requires the services of skilled and trained heating and air professionals. In fact, the Board of Labor Statistics projects growth in HVAC Careers upward of 28% through 2018. That’s almost 395,000 jobs!

Going green opens a lot of doors for professionals working in heating air conditioning careers. As the life span of refrigerators, air conditioners, heating systems and other HVAC units end, people are electing to replace them with new, energy efficient ones. These new systems are cost efficient, good for the environment, and can qualify their owner for tax credit.
