In the United States, there is currently a shortage of technicians in almost every trade: plumbers, electricians, carpenters, and HVAC technicians are all in short supply. Recent statistics indicate that there are only about 260,000 HVAC technicians in the workforce, about 80,000 short of what’s actually needed to answer all the calls. In addition, the industry is losing HVAC technicians at a rate of about 8% each year, or about 21,000 techs. If this pace continues, there will only be about 50,000 HVAC professionals in 2033.
This trend must be reversed. As our climate changes and temperatures get even more extreme (we’ve only had two days under 32˚ in February this year!), HVAC technology will get more and more critical to our health and wellness.
Maertin Heating and Cooling is seeking men and women who are ready to train to become HVAC technicians – and we’ll even pay you while you train!
Why is training for an HVAC career a great choice?
Faster and less expensive.
A traditional college degree demands four or more years to complete and many positions require advanced degrees, which means spending at least 2 more years in school – all while accumulating massive student loan debt.
When you become a technician with Maertin Heating & Cooling, there are no hefty college loans to pay back. You’ll be fully trained in about 2 years, all while earning a steady, competitive income.
At the cutting edge of energy, social impact and technology.
HVAC isn’t just furnaces and air conditioners anymore. HVAC careers lead the way with clean energy and smart technology. You’ll learn hand and power tool skills, mechanical skills, electrical skills, computer software, and energy efficiency techniques.
HVAC technicians are also leading the way with technology’s social impact, creating greener solutions to heat and cool buildings more efficiently. Not only will you be saving your neighbor’s comfort, you’ll be helping to improve the global environment.
Real job satisfaction
Real job satisfaction is built into an HVAC career. Each home you visit is a brand-new challenge to solve, a new person to meet and new answers to discover. You’ll use communication skills and time management skills. It’s fulfilling to see what you’ve accomplished every single day, whether it’s a newly working furnace or a smiling neighbor who is so grateful for their improved comfort. When you love working with your hands, HVAC is the job you’ll continue to love throughout your entire career.
