What Type Of HVAC Jobs Are There?

In 2012, 61 percent of HVAC jobs were in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning and around 9 percent of technicians were self-employed. HVAC technicians work in a wide variety of settings: residential and commercial, indoors and outdoors. Sometimes, a technician will work the same site all day, whereas, in other cases, workers will move from one place to another throughout the day.   

Job prospects are excellent for technicians who have completed training at a technical school. The best opportunities are available for those familiar with computers and electronics and who possess good troubleshooting skills. There is in-demand work for technicians working in maintenance and repair.

If a career in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning sounds right for you, enroll in a San Antonio HVAC school today. Look for a program that offers plenty of hands-on training and leads to a number of certifications.

“Once I graduated from SCI, I had a sense of accomplishment that helped me through the job search process. SCI provided me with the opportunity to brush up on my skills, extend my accounting knowledge, and they boosted my self-confidence. I went to work two days after my last day of school.”

“When my youngest child graduated from high school, I told my husband that it was my time. I went back to school to change careers after spending 37 years in the business field. At SCI, the instructors are professional, and they care about what they are teaching you, as well as expect you to give 100% in return. I had problems understanding how to draw in syringes and give injections. I requested extra help from a knowledgeable instructor, and I was able to receive one-on-one training. Today, I draw injections for approximately 100 patients each week. I am very confident in what I’ve learned. SCI has given me the chance to do what I always wanted to do. Thank you for my education. I am doing wonderful.”
