Jobs in the HVAC field depend on many different skills and abilities. All but the most basic of jobs need employees to have attended detailed training. HVAC systems are by their nature complicated. To fully understand how to design, install and maintain them, a deep understanding of how they work is needed. In many HVAC roles may only be carried out by certified workers to comply with both federal and state laws.
Good training increases opportunities for better pay and conditions, higher customer retention, shorter job times, and fewer job site accidents. Employees with recent training can quickly get to work on new equipment incorporating the latest industry developments. They will be aware of recent changes in legislation and how it affects the job they are working on.
Once you have decided to begin or further your career books can be a very cost effective way of increasing your HVAC knowledge. Books can also be a great resource to have on your truck when on the job.
