Tech Up Is What's Up
A CAREER IN HVAC
There will be an estimated shortage of 400,000 HVAC technicians over the next decade, which is why Carrier is on a mission to Tech Up and empower the next generation of HVAC techs.
We want to show America's young adults that a career in HVAC can bring them amazing benefits, like competitive salaries, the chance to work with innovative technologies and great job security - all without taking on four years of college debt.
HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilation & Air Conditioning - you know, all that stuff that keeps homes and buildings comfortable. Without HVAC, we'd all be miserably hot in the summer and freezing cold in the winter. HVAC techs are the skilled tradespeople who install, maintain and repair those heating and cooling systems.
HOW MUCH MONEY CAN I EARN?
Like almost every other industry, the HVAC trade has undergone a digital transformation in recent years. Tech-savvy technicians get the chance to use their skills through virtual-reality training, working on innovative systems with smart home automation, and using digital apps for diagnostics and repair.
Most HVAC techs say they like the variety involved in their jobs - every day means working in different homes and buildings with different heating and cooling challenges. Techs also find it rewarding that they can use their problem-solving and digital skills to make people more comfortable. In fact, some techs even go on to open and own their own HVAC businesses.
XOi is a powerful jobsite tool that connects people, from all parts of a field service ecosystem, with the Carrier equipment they service. Technicians use XOi in the field to collect critical job site data, connect instantly with the answers they need, and provide the back office with data to capitalize on revenue-generating opportunities.
