    Job Description

    Own the Install, Elevate the Craft

    Step into a role where you run the job from start to finish. As our Lead HVAC Installation Technician, you’ll arrive prepared, verify the scope and materials, organize the day’s plan, guide a helper, and deliver a flawless system replacement or new install—no constant oversight required. We champion craftsmanship over shortcuts, and we’re looking for someone who takes pride in doing it right the first time.

    A Day in the Life

    • Review the assigned installation, confirm equipment and materials, and map out the workflow to stay within planned labor hours.
    • Lead and mentor a helper or junior installer, keeping the site moving efficiently and safely.
    • Execute full-system change-outs and new installs—from teardown through final commissioning—independently.
    • Troubleshoot on-site, flag issues before leaving, communicate changes to management, and identify when a change order is appropriate.
    • Protect customer property, maintain a tidy work area, and complete all installation documentation accurately.

    Technical Scope

    You’ll work across a wide mix of residential and light-commercial systems and tasks:

    • Equipment: Gas furnaces, central A/C, heat pumps, air handlers, boilers, mini-splits/ductless, condensers, and evaporator coils (experience with York equipment is a plus).
    • Piping & Venting: Refrigerant piping (brazing, proper evacuation, charging), gas piping, PVC venting, and condensate routing.
    • Electrical & Controls: Thermostats, low- and line-voltage controls, and fundamental electrical terminations.
    • Sheet Metal & Ductwork: Fabrication of transitions, fittings, and field duct modifications as required.
    • Commissioning: System start-up, airflow verification, operational testing, and reducing callbacks through meticulous checks.

    What You Bring

    • Demonstrated residential HVAC installation experience.
    • Valid driver’s license with an acceptable driving record.
    • Proficiency with standard HVAC hand/power tools.
    • Ability to interpret install instructions, wiring diagrams, and equipment specifications.
    • Physical ability to lift 50+ lbs., work on ladders, and operate in tight spaces (attics, basements, crawlspaces, mechanical rooms).
    • Reliability, strong attendance, and a professional appearance.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • EPA certification strongly preferred (required for Lead Installer status).
    • Background in light-commercial installations.
    • Proven crew leadership and apprentice training experience.
    • Depth in complete boiler change-outs and multi-zone mini-split installations.
