I'm currently in HVAC trade school. This is my fourth month I've learned quite a bit like refrigeration, recharging, brazing, honestly I enjoy the hands on work my biggest struggle reading the wiring diagram but I'm working on it. I plan on getting a job as soon as I pass my EPA and still go to school in the afternoon until I graduate but its honestly fun I like the work, I've always been the type of person to love hands on although it irritates sometimes but overall its fun I'm only 18 my goal is to start getting as much experience as early as possible and move on to my own personal jobs to possibly owning my own company.

Just my input, having an electrical background or at least a basic knowledge of electrical components will take you a good way into the HVAC field, might even help you get a promotion. If you are also interested in IT, a good HVAC role to get into is an HVAC controls technician because they deal with more of the computerized and networked HVAC systems and having an IT background is a good plus for it since you'd more than likely be dealing with running Ethernet cables in commercial environments to interconnect all of the systems together. Hope this helped shed some light for you.

I’m currently 3rd year apprentice electrician. Thinking about HVAC or Low voltage License. Just don’t know what to pick

HVAC/R is a large field. Hvac pays more than electrical where I'm at. Went from working residential/light commercial service to now refrigeration install at supermarkets. Think HVAC might be a little more recession-proof. Air movement is dirty and inherently needs maintenance. The last company I was at had 10k service contracts with homeowners. According to an older tech, 2008 was record year for service. When people aren't replacing they are fixing, so if you can do both you win either way. An electrician might be a little easier work.

With HVAC it really depends if you go into a small (non-union) shop or a larger (union) shop. The union shops typically focus on commercial & industrial or some larger residential with minimal households. Though that depends on your State and nearest cities. If you want to get into a union shop you pretty much have to go through their apprenticeship program for 5 years (4 days working, 1 paid day taking classes at the union hall, set payscale for each year, funded pension and guaranteed benefits). If you want to work on larger equipment or specialize in large chillers or boilers and the like then realize only union shops typically have those. Working through an apprentice program requires zero prior classes or experience, though a fundamental understanding will give you a leg up in learning quickly. They do run candidates through an aptitude test to get an idea of a person's general understanding of math, mechanical mechanisms, spatial reasoning and mechanical aptitude (all really generic stuff in their test). work will be lots of filter changing, coil cleaning, coil replacements, replacing bad TX valves, helping a Journeyman. If one goes the union route don't spend the time/ money on HVAC classes if you understand electrical fundamentals, the Union and your shop will teach you everything, its setup to teach people that don't know anything. Get hired on at a shop and work as a driver delivering supplies & equipment to guys in the field until your apprentice program starts, or wait to get into the apprentice program first and have the Union hire you to a company. Lots of positives and negatives to consider with all the options, and where you live.

if you want to work for somebody go union. If you want to be self-employed with a small operation go residential. HVAC union guys where I'm at make 90k+ with 2 pensions and awesome health insurance. I used to want to be self-employed but after seeing what it takes to run a successful HVAC business Id just rather be apart of a team and be paid well for it. Non-union you have to fight for your raises, and if you aren't a complainer they will always try to keep you down. Typically there is a national union due you pay upfront, like $420 for the year or $30 a month, then they take some off your paycheck for the local union dues. My dues are $1 an hr right now to the local. Not a bad deal. I'm more than willing to pay for representation. Cool thing is that union is like a temp agency, you don't like where your at talk to the union and get in at another shop. Pretty sweet. If you want to work on crazy cutting edge high-end projects, the union is where it's at. Apply now, you might be waiting a while. It's a good job so lots of people apply.

Taddy Digest thanks. In the time between when I commented and your reply I did a lot of research on what I wanted to do. I realized I want to spend my life helping people and want to enter the medical field. While electrician seems cool, I do not think I should lose out on the college opportunity while the opportunity to become an electrician will always be there

Should I go to trade school to be an electrician or should I just start out as a helper without any knowledge? A lot of people have been telling me that going into a trade school would be a waste of time.

Yup that is very common. Companies usually don't want to train people or teach them. All about the dollar.They want to give you a price sheet and show you what to sell. Everything gets replaced more, when sometimes all that is needed is a simple repair. They don't want to lose money but ignorance leads to more mistakes and that in my opinion cost more in the long-run. Thanks for the input and support! I appreciate YOU.

Commercial electricians do the same thing every day. Most of it is pulling wires through conduits. Commercial HVAC you are doing something different every day and need a hell of a lot more knowledge do deal with what’s thrown at you. It all depends on what type of person you are.

That is because many contractors are foolish. They only want to hire techs that have field experience. They don't realize that in order for there to be a future new technicians will need to be brought into the trade. The company I work for is always short handed because of this foolishness and we are over worked😒. I wish they were more open to hiring new guys like yourself.

Please someone give me advice. My son has been an apprentice with a master electrician for the past 8 months. He was also working as a helper with another electrician. He graduated trade high school with with carpentry and plumbing. He also worked with a plumber for a 6 months and worked at a plumbing supply shop for 5 months. He is going to HVAC school in January. My questions are union or non union? Can he get licenses in two or more trades? He is 17 yrs old now

Your on the right track with your son. All of these different positions and experiences are going to shape him and his future. I am a non union start your own business minded person. All that matters is that he is working and working with and for good people. This will give good environments to learn in and opportunity to decide what he likes and what he is good at. Glad you watched. Thank you for commenting.

HVAC school is a waste of money and time. I work with a HVAC contractor that has 30 yrs experience. Best school money can't buy.
