Job description:

Total Appliance and A/C Repairs, Inc. is a family-owned company serving South Florida for over 50 years. Between our commercial service base and a growing retrofit pipeline, we need experienced mechanics who can do it all - keep central plants running and handle the equipment change-outs when it's time to replace them. This is not service-only and it's not project-only. We're looking for a mechanic who can troubleshoot a down cooling tower on a Saturday and run a retrofit change-out from plans on Monday. All of our work is on existing condominiums and commercial properties across Miami-Dade, Broward, and South Palm beach - cooling tower and chiller replacements, pump and piping change-outs, RTU swaps, and mechanical retrofits.
