Why you should choose a career in HVAC
Posted On: February 16, 2022
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.

Great Team! Furnace broke in the weekend, Bob visited same day and Greg installed new one on Monday. Team was professional, respectful and knowledgeable. Installation went very well, Greg found solutions to challenges, like hiding new conduits in the ceiling. Looks nice and new furnace is working great. Five Stars.

I used Twintech to install a new furnace for my home. Bob was terrific in explaining the sizing options and why the 2 stage furnace was the best option for me. Greg did a great job installing, clean and on time. Finished work looks great but the best part is how it works. The 2 stage heating is so much more comfortable. I run the fan continuously to keep the indoor air clean. Great investment! Would highly recommendTwintech!

Im going to start this by saying Im a very particular customer. My background is in mathematics and mechanical engineering so I have an eye for detail and a respect for technical knowledge.
Greg had already done an AC inspection and replaced a water heater tank and there was no question in my mind who to deal with replacing my rickety old furnace after it got pooched.
Bob dropped in ahead of time and clearly (and knowledgeably) outlined all technical, price and operational options.
Greg showed up on time, on the agreed date and did a fantastic job. (The OLD furnace was a house of horrors and was installed in a keystone cops sort of way- careless.)
The work Greg did was HIGHLY PROFESSIONAL and FAR MORE FUNCTIONAL than what I had.
Im also a musician with many instruments so maintaining predictable humidity/temperature is extremely important to me. Greg recognized this as did Bob. You NEVER feel like youre being brushed off.
In summary, if youre looking for PROFESSIONAL, QUALITY results by an EXPERIENCED, THOUGHTFUL team
(that also happen to be FRIENDLY and ATTENTIVE ) then youve come to the right page!!

Once again Twin Tech came through and fixed my furnace. A young man by the name of Mitch came by tonight and he was so nice explained everything he was quick he was clean he turned off the lights even when he left the furnace room its just above and beyond Twin Tech always delivers and I just found out about them last year and I will use no one else but thanks again Mitch you are fantastic

I had a problem with the Furnace (Armstrong ultra V) and Greg diagnosed it on the phone. Even told me what the issue was and I was able to fix it. This level of service from a Business that is almost unknown today.
If you require service, reach out to Greg. I will definitely use them in the future!

We have been shopping for a heat pump for our home. We had 3 reps come in and make recommendations and provide a quote. Of the 3, Bob was so clearly so much more qualified, thorough and informed than the other two that the decision was a no brainer. As soon as we get our audit results Twintech will be installing our heat pump.

knowledgeable sales person, did not try to up-sell unneeded features,
and was easily contacted to ensure customer satisfaction.
Installation was expertly done by friendly guys, everything explained for use of the products. Old products were removed and returned to rental company as part of the service. Follow up call was received to check all was well. This is my second time using this company as I was fully satisfied with my previous air conditioning unit installation
Jan 4, 2023
Twintech recently installed a new furnace for me. Bob did a great job assessing what I had and needed. All details well explained including the importance of proper sizing of furnace and the value of multi stage heating and the variable speed blower. As a nurse, indoor air quality is a high priority so the variable speed motor running continuous is so good. 24/7 air cleaning. Greg did a great job on install, attention to detail so appreciated. Already notice such an improved comfort and heat. Thank you Twintech! You come as advertised. I will recommend to anyone in need of heating or cooling!
Jan 4, 2023
We received various quotes from 4 different companies and right away, the prompt and thorough communication from Bob from TwinTech stood out. He introduced himself, sent sample sites and information, and always confirmed any agreed to dates and times.
Bob was friendly and extremely knowledgeable about the topic of HVAC and it was clear he was passionate about his profession. He approached the job as if he was installing in his own home.
Prior to the new furnace & A/C installation, our old units were loud and inefficient - having several rooms feeling too cold in the winter and too hot in the summer. After installing the recommended units, all rooms stay at a consistent temperature- even the finished basement.
I highly recommend the TwinTech team - just an outstanding job at a reasonable price point.
Jan 4, 2023
The experience with Twintech was great from the start. Bob the sales manager was friendly and professional and did not use any pressure tactics. He was very knowledgeable.
The installation was completed by the twin owners in about 6-7 hours. Clean quiet easy going didn't mind when I poked my head in to see progress. Highly recommend
