Jobbeschreibung

You install the actual units — furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, ductwork. It's the heavy-lifting side of HVAC. You'll follow blueprints, connect refrigerant lines, wire thermostats, and spend a shocking amount of time in crawlspaces that weren't designed for anyone over 5'2". New construction is cleaner; retrofits are where things get interesting (read: terrible).
