Why you should choose a career in HVAC

It can be hard to choose a career, especially if you are young or looking for a new path in life. And if you're one of those people who likes to know how things work instead of being in an office all day, why not consider a career in HVAC?


HVAC, which stands for Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning, and in recent years, the demand for HVAC mechanics has grown. 


HVAC systems are needed to keep buildings warm, cool, and well ventilated. They also help sanitize hospitals and are essential for the food industry that relies on refrigeration for storage. Without HVAC mechanics, homes, businesses, hospitals, and other buildings would not be comfortable. 


HVAC careers are stimulating. You'll have the opportunity to work on many types of heating and cooling systems, such as:


  • Furnaces
  • Fireplaces
  • Pool heaters
  • Air conditioners
  • Boilers
  • Refrigeration systems
  • Heat pumps

With growing technology comes more energy-efficient systems, and in the HVAC field, you'll get the opportunity to learn about these new systems, including:


  • Smart thermostats
  • Solar-powered cooling systems
  • Geothermal heating: Heat that's pulled from the ground and into the building
  • Zoned heating and cooling systems: These systems can be digitally controlled so each room can have a different temperature.

You will learn the skills needed to take the TSSA exam during your training. TSSA stands for Technical Standards and Safety Act. Passing this exam is required to get your gas license. The first license is Gas 3. 


After getting your Gas 3, you can go even further and reach your Gas 2 and then Gas 1, which advances your career. 


After you have your gas license, you can work as a Gasfitter, technician, Hydronics technician, and HVAC mechanic. 


In Ontario, HVAC mechanics are some of the highest-paid tradespeople, along with plumbers and electricians. According to the Job bank, the lowest-paid mechanic makes $28/hr, and the highest rate is $45/hr. 


So, if you're considering a career in HVAC, it's a good idea to do some research on trade schools to see which one works best for you. Contact an advisor and ask questions like:


  • Programs costs and is financial aid available?
  • How much experience do the teachers have in the field, and how long?
  • Does the school have industry connections?
  • How long has the school been open?
  • Will the school help find apprenticeships after training?

It is also essential to book a campus tour to see the classrooms and training rooms. 


By researching and choosing the right school for you, you're one step ahead of a fulfilling HVAC career. For more information on HVAC systems, visit our website or call us at 1(844) 894-6832.

by Scott and Sandra in Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

After receiving numerous quotes to replace my old furnace and AC unit (which was 20 years old) I went with Twintech. Dave, in sales, answered questions professionally and promptly and worked diligently in order to secure my business. Installation was scheduled the week after and Greg and Peter showed up, as scheduled, and did a fine job installing both units. The site was left tidy and neat. I would highly recommend Twintech for your furnace and AC work.

by Linda from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I chose TwinTech because they installed my new furnace a few years ago and did a great job. When they installed my new A/C, they replaced all parts -- the copper pipes, the housing on top of the furnace and the wiring. (Apparently, the wiring for my old A/C was insufficient.) Their pricing was competitive. The sales representative came to see me within a few hours of my call. My new A/C was installed a few days later and I couldn't be happier with Twintech's professionalism and work. I would recommend TwinTech to any homeowner.

by george polychronis from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Had a great experience with this company. Great price and great customer service. You wont be disappointed with twintech. Discussed the job with Greg while he was installing who was extremely informative and obviously enjoys the work he does.

by Nuzio in Markham on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I needed my AC unit relocated due to upcoming landscape work. I reached out to the Twintech team through Homestars. Dave connected with me immediately to discuss the project and various options. We decided the best option was to mount the unit on the wall. Greg was in touch with me the same day as well and we scheduled the work for later that same week. This was a small job so I did not think I would get immediate attention. The Twintech team exceeded my expectations in every respect. They were very knowledgeable and friendly. The team arrived exactly on time on the scheduled day and worked efficiently to get the job done quickly. I would definitely use Twintech again for any Heating and AC projects.

by Leslie B, Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I have used Greg Dainty for over 15 years in 3 different homes, for heating, cooling, pool heaters, appliances and bbq lines. Greg has always been so professional, friendly and the workmanship nothing short of fantastic. Greg has always discussed my options and fixing versus replacing, giving his honest opinion and what works best for me cost effective wise and long term. I have valued his opinion so much and have not trusted my gas needs with anyone since using him. I have also referred him to many of my friends and family and have always been so thankful with how well and quickly he looks after us all. I hold Greg in the highest regard and would recommend him to anyone with complete confidence!

by Marcel M, Whitby ON on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Really nice honest guys. It was a pleasure to do business with a company that does exactly what they say they’re going to do! My basement was cleaner after they installed my new furnace and AC. Thanks again Greg and Grant and for doing such a great job.

by George In Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

5 star service!! I had twin tech install a high efficiency furnace and hot water tank at my home. I am taking time to write this review as a thanks for what I viewed as next level service that went above and beyond. Prior to installation they explained my specific options without pushy sales tactics and up front costs. Greg and Grant replaced a large portion of the duct work (built in their own shop) that had rusted over the years which resulted in a great looking job. It was a pleasure to work with people are passionate and take pride in their work. Following the installation they explained all aspects and maintenance of the new equipment. Products have worked flawlessly. Thanks again Greg and Grant! Highly recommend!!

by Donna J, in Ajax on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Twin Tech was great; they were honest, reliable and very thorough. I would recommend their services and will definitely be using them in the future.

by Sheila C. Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Hi Dave, Thank You Dave for coming to my aid this past summer when my AC quit. Your men did a great job installing and cleaning the area. The unit is working very well and i would highly recommend your company TwinTech. Dave you delivered what you sold and i truly appreciate it.

by Darin O. Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My experience with TWINTECH has been excellent, start to finish. While doing market research I made a list of several local companies and called them for some high-level information. Dave was the first to call me back, and the only one to book a meeting to see my place in order to give an informed, accurate estimate. He reviewed the different AC makes and models with me, explained the technology, and made a recommendation appropriate to my home. The installation went smoothly. I had one post-installation issue – there was moderate noise/vibrations coming from the duct system. I called about this, booked an appointment, and the technician resolved the issue during the service call. I feel assured having a 10-year warranty on parts & labour. I would recommend TWINTECH to anyone considering an AC or furnace for their home. Regards,
