A CAREER IN HVAC

There will be an estimated shortage of 400,000 HVAC technicians over the next decade, which is why Bryant is on a mission to Tech Up and empower the next generation of HVAC techs.

We want to show North American 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.

SO WHAT IS HVAC, ANYWAY?

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?

In 2020, the median salary for HVAC technicians was over $50,590 USD/year1, with many earning much more. Most companies also offer great benefits - even to entry-level technicians - such as paid vacation, 401(k) and healthcare packages. Plus, you won't have to take on college debt, which averaged over $37,000 USD in 2020 - yikes!

WILL I GET TO WORK WITH TECHNOLOGY?

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.

WHAT'S THE DAY-TO-DAY WORK LIKE FOR AN HVAC TECH?

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.

"You get to drive around, you get paid. You can then go to school and actually the school is paid for. There aren’t many careers out there that pay you to learn. The HVAC trade is one of the very few that do. So, you actually get paid to learn your trade.”
