It’s 7:15 a.m. and you’re reviewing the blueprint for a residential heat pump retrofit. You huddle your crew for a quick safety talk, assign tasks to apprentices, and confirm the parts pulled match the scope. By mid-morning, you’re setting equipment, checking line sets, and verifying electrical. When an unexpected control issue pops up, you diagnose it quickly and coach an apprentice through the fix. In the afternoon, you fine-tune system settings per manufacturer specs, walk the homeowner through maintenance tips, and provide a clear, friendly explanation of any recommended follow-up. Back at the truck, you update notes on your tablet, restock inventory, and close out the job with pride—done right the first time.
Pay depends on experience; $35/hour and up, plus SPIFFs and bonuses. Bonuses are uncapped, demand is consistent, and top technicians earn over $100,000 per year—your earnings align with your skill and results.
