Damn, HVAC Technicians can make up to 100k ?!

[UpAndComing]

Texas ain’t allowing no fkn unions in any private profession

You mean Texas doesnt allow Unions at all and most of the Trade companies down there are private?

 

[Noriega]

Nah breh, HVAC is one of those trades where you can eat Union or Non-Union


Non-Union Commercial and Industrial HVAC easily make 100k a year

Maybe in anti union states like Texas and places down south, not in any northern or east coast city

 

[Tim Dripcan]

The brother @Luck made a thread on trade careers. He eating good. A lot of brehs not in the trade fields. I’m currently looking into getting in the trade field soon since I ain’t waiting for no FireFighter recruiters to call me back.

I live in NY. Plenty of Non-Union private workers making 100k or close to it easy

Acco is a good spot you want to work for....have a cousin that has work there for years....and yes its hard work but once you put in your time and learn to read HVAC drawings....the hard work is minimized....

Facts. Unions ain’t as big of a deal down south unless you’re a teacher or postal worker

Don't believe the hype

I know a few people who do HVAC, including a brother of a chick I dated once. He worked for at least 5-6 companies They can fire you for almost anything and it's a competitive field. Summers are brutal and things can get slow in the winter time. It's not all peaches and cream.

I’m making 75/hr (ot) right now

I’m commercial hvac/r trade tho.

I’ve been told you nikkas.

I turn down side jobs and OT, hell tomorrow I could make over 100/hr if I work. I’m on call for the whole weekend, 24 hours a day and if I get a call my paid time starts from the second I get that call to when I get home.

That’s plus 13/hr in my 401k ( employer contributed) and a healthy pension

They stopped testing for weed. I get a work truck, a cell phone and a credit card. Don’t pay for any gas or tolls and I make all my runs in my truck. Haven’t put 500 miles on my car(s) this year.

You can lead a nikka to water but can’t make em drink. Literally no one I have tried to put on has applied.

Any IT nikkas here can tell you, look at their bill when they have to call us about their cooling being down in server rooms

You not seeing anywhere CLOSE to 100k if you a non union hvac tech

Keep telling my boy who go to Coyne, he let those cac instructors pump his head up.

Meanwhile Blake is a Union HVAC apprentice about to make $33 an hour as an apprentice and you gotta work at speedway to pay your tuition @Barnett114

Would you mind filling me in on this? I was looking into going to trade school next year and this sounds like useful information to have.

 

[Originalman]

Yep them kats make crazy bread. Here in texas them kats make money hand over fist.

Watch you gonna do when its 108 degrees for 10 days and your AC goes down? You gonna pay no matter the cost.

 

[feelosofer]

My boy went did HVAC moved to the country in NC, started his own operation and has more business than he can handle.

Don’t go to trade school, why pay to learn skills you can get for free + earn a wage/benefits while doing so.

apply to sheet metal or pipefitters unions in your area

So I'm browsing indeed salaries and they say HVAC techs in US average $22 per hour

HVAC Technician Salary in United States

But if you look down, there's reports of some saying they've made as much as $40-$62 an hour. HVAC techs who work at the Four Seasons have reported that they cleared over 100k in salary

Four Seasons Heating & Air Conditioning HVAC Technician Salaries in the United States

That's 79% above the national average...

I was so mad when I found that out. A deacon at a church I went to was into refrigerator/hvac repars and was cleaning up. He told me about how much he made and he took the classes at a community college. I was teaching then and paying back student loans.

Goto college and be successful they say

 

[MajesticLion]

When you see the kinds of conditions HVAC/plumbers/electricians have to work in, especially in older homes...you'll understand why.

If you have back knee or any problems you donezo.
