How much does hvac techs earn?
Working for some of the bigger company’s you can make upwards of 80000 easy and break in to 6 figure range with ease. If you want to make big bucks working for someone else, you want to make sure they pay hourly wage and over time + spiffs + commissions. I’m under 30 and make around $85000 before taxes. If you want to get a job with the bigger companies make sure to get your EPA and N.A.T.E certifications. More importantly its important to remember location is key. You will make more money in the south east than you will in the south west, know were maximum cooling hours (hours most machines run) are, 1600-1800hr areas will tend to have the best market for this trade. Most important if you don’t know much about this trade, applied physics, and electrical/mechanical codes please don’t consider this as a career option because your fellow techs will hate you for callbacks.
