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.

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

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!!

Just hired TwinTech Heating & Cooling to do an A/C Unit removal & reinstall to allow for landscaping access on the side of my house, and they were wonderful!
Bob, Greg & Mitch make a great team! Quick appointment times, super knowledgeable, expert troubleshooting capabilities & very customer service oriented.
I would highly recommend them for all of your HVAC needs! Great job guys!!

Twintech Heating & Cooling installed my furnace in 2022 and in fall of 2023 installed my Panasonic Heat Pump. Greg and Mitch did a great job. Helped me through the rebate process. Super happy with the Heat Pump. Only used my furnace 5 times this winter. Energy bills lower, carbon emissions lower.Thank you Twintech. I recommend highly!

Just had a new furnace installed by Twintech. I cant express how great these guys are at what they do. From the sales to installation they were professional all the way. Very reasonable pricing and courteous during the installation and willing to answer any questions I had. Highly recommended !!!

They've cleaned my furnace a couple of times and mentioned that the hot water tank standards were going to change soon so I decided to change mine out.
There were a few challenges during the process but the installers handled the problems without missing a stride! I now have really hot water again!

Highly recommend Twintech Heating company, we got honest and detailed information on what was needed to replace and install a new gas furnace. Bob and Greg made us feel comfortable withe process through their thorough explanation and knowledge of the right furnace for our needs. The professionalism and courteous friendly attitude towards the customer is what we liked the most as they treated us like family. So happy with our decision and new furnace we will be looking into get our rental water heater replaced and installed by Twintech team. We feel better having their knowledge on our side and will only trust them with any further maintenance of furnace.

Customer service and knowledge is priority in this industry, and Twintech has it. I've dealt with their team for maintenance and a furnace replacement. They're accommodating and make great recommendations, and came through at a great price over the big guys in the industry. They'll be my next call when I need service or maintenance.
Jul 14, 2024
I decided that the noises and age of the existing furnace which was old and not very efficient to replace it. Gave Greg a call and Grant and Greg got to work on it. Because of supply issues with the current heating type that would be an easier install Greg convinced me to change the location of the system and it would provide me better service for heat and efficiency. I had skeptical but went ahead anyway putting trust in Greg And Grant. Greg, Grant and Mitch came through and in 2 days had completely relocated my heating and A/C system. I can honestly say Greg was right my old house has been warmer and more evenly heated as it ever was. For anyone reading this rather long winded review can take my word for it, Twin Tech can take care of your needs.
