Why you should choose a career in HVAC

Posted On: February 16, 2022

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 Aaron on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

by Robert Rogers on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers. Their price was excellent and they explained the features very well. We are very glad we went with TwinTech and highly recommend their services.

by Robert Mizuno on Twintech Heating and Cooling

We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!

by Anna Chin on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Amazing experience with TwinTech Heating & Cooling! Their team was professional, knowledgeable, and efficient from start to finish. They installed my new furnace quickly and left everything spotless. The technicians took the time to explain everything and made sure I was comfortable with the system before they left. Great customer service and fair pricing. I highly recommend them for anyone needing HVAC services!

by Connor Agnew on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Great experience all around. Bob was sharp and easy to talk to, and Greg handled the installation perfectly. Would hire them again in a heartbeat.

by Trevor Owens on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I returned from vacation to find my AC unit on the Fritz. After calling way too many places I connected with TwinTech. I’ve used the company in the past for my furnace so I was happy when I recognized Greg at my front door. He’s great and the service is always top notch. I’d highly recommend using twintech for honest, superior service in the Durham region. Thanks!

by Nicole Alain on Twintech Heating and Cooling

I called Twin Tech when my air conditioning stopped working. Greg came over to diagnose the issue - the same day. He was able to diagnose the issue and resolve it quite quickly. Although it was a quick fix, Greg was very thorough in explaining the issue and provided great advice. Not to mention, I felt very comfortable having Greg in my home - which I consider very important when hiring a service provider. Twin Tech will be my go-to from now on. Thank you!!

by Courtney Parkes on Twintech Heating and Cooling
