Being an HVAC pro comes with so many other great perks other than getting paid well.
I never thought that currency was everything in HVAC. Everyone in my stepdad Ed’s HVAC company thought the same thing while working there. Ed has an HVAC company that is built on new HVAC professionals. Ed brings them in right out of HVAC school, even before the ink is dry on their certification. Ed trains them to be the best HVAC professionals as well as then lets them go their separate ways. Some of these HVAC pros stayed on with Ed, however most of them already had dreams of where they wanted to work! Getting an apprenticeship in Ed’s company is just a stepping brick to getting where they want to be. Ed once worked for a national HVAC business, as well as he was one of the best. Ed helped me open the HVAC company I now own, as well as my friend and I work together. When Ed first talked about being a training HVAC business, I didn’t guess it would be lucrative. I would be paying someone to do the work for me, get their training, as well as then turn them loose as soon as they were nice at their jobs. I’m proud of what I turn out, however I’m consistently sorry to see them leave. The HVAC pros don’t consistently work out, as well as they quit before they go any further. Ed and I have five HVAC professionals that started out as apprentices as well as asked if they could stay on for us. Money wasn’t everything when Ed and I started the HVAC business, however Ed and I still became successful.
