Why an HVAC Career?

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems are vital to homes and businesses across the United States. Homeowners and business owners alike need the services of skilled technicians with an HVAC license to do reliable installation, repair, and service for their crucial systems. Companies are looking for qualified technicians who have an HVAC certification to meet the needs of their growing businesses.

The Department of Labor expects HVAC careers to grow at a much faster rate than other occupations. Employers looking to fill these positions are hunting for certified technicians. There is a variety of opportunities available for those pursuing HVAC careers. Various options include employment in wholesale, service, equipment manufacturing, and more. HVAC technician salary levels vary by establishment. Join a career that can reward you and your family!

Industry Outlook:

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment of heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration mechanics and installers is expected to grow 34% from 2010 to 2020. This growth rate is exponentially higher than most other occupations. Commercial and residential building construction will drive employment growth as the construction industry continues to recover from the 2007-09 recession. The growing number of sophisticated climate-control systems is also expected to increase demand for qualified HVAC/R technicians.

Climate-control systems generally need replacement after 10 to 15 years. Numerous recently constructed homes and commercial buildings will need replacement climate-control systems by 2020, spurring demand for technicians.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, job opportunities for HVACR technicians are expected to be excellent, particularly for those who have completed training at an accredited technical school or through a formal apprenticeship.

HVAC Quality Installation Specification


Charles Ashton bought this e-book in 2011, came back in 2013 and now wrote this email to me:

Ed,

I have been in the HVAC Service Field for many years and I am now branching out more into the installation of duct work. The Ductwork Installation guide had step by step instructions, and is very well written and informative for the layman to understand. I use to have problems doing offsets and this book explains it, in its simplest form. I did substantial research on finding a Ductwork guide that would give much detailed information as possible, and your book was the most informative one I could find with the opportunity to get updates in the future. I am very glad that I purchased this and I look forward to viewing your website for more project information as needed.

Best Wishes, 

Charles Ashton, Owings Mills, Maryland

Totally Hand Made Duct Fittings

Not too long ago I, like many of you, sincerely thought that the way of making any kinds of sheet metal fittings is only possible by using sheet metal brake and metal forming machines! Not anymore:

From late Fall and Winter of 2015 through May 2016 I made more than twenty most frequently-used sheet metal fittings without using any of these very expensive machines.

All the fitting that you see in the picture on the left I made with hand-tools only!
