Job description

HVAC Maintenance Technician – Trusted Advisor

Houston, TX | Full-Time | On-Site

Anybody can run a checklist. We're looking for someone who can walk into a home, tell a family the truth about their system, and earn their trust before they even ask for it.

Freedom Power was born when Freedom Solar and Freedom HVAC joined forces to become Texas's complete whole-house energy company. We don't just install equipment. We hand homeowners the keys to something bigger: control over their energy, their bills, and their future. We call it Energy Empowerment, and it's not a tagline — it's the reason we show up every day.

As an HVAC Maintenance Technician, you're the reason our customers sleep easy. You'll run thorough preventative maintenance visits, catch the small problems before they become expensive ones, and explain exactly what you find — no pressure, no scare tactics, just facts and photos. When a repair or upgrade genuinely makes sense, you'll be the one homeowners trust to tell them so.

Your Day-to-Day

• Perform scheduled preventative maintenance on residential HVAC systems, top to bottom.
• Run comprehensive inspections using our maintenance checklists — condensers, coils, blower components, drain systems, electrical, capacitors, contactors, filters, and safety devices.
• Measure and record static pressure, refrigerant temperatures, superheat/subcool, temperature split, amp draws, voltage, and capacitor readings.
• Test system performance and verify everything's running the way it should.
• Catch worn or failing components before they turn into emergency calls.
• Explain findings in plain language, backed by photos — no jargon, no games.
• Recommend repairs based on what the system actually needs, never on pressure.
• Educate homeowners on indoor air quality, comfort, and energy-saving solutions when they provide genuine value and improve system performance.
• Introduce qualified homeowners to our maintenance membership program.
• Flag replacement opportunities when a system's genuinely reached the end of the road.
• Document every visit in ServiceTitan — photos, technician notes, equipment readings, diagnostic findings, and all recommendations to the homeowner.
• Keep your vehicle, tools, and appearance sharp and professional.
• Follow every safety policy and TDLR regulation, every time.
• Perform all work in accordance with manufacturer specifications, local building codes, company quality standards, and all applicable safety policies.

What You Bring

• EPA Section 608 Certification (required)
• TDLR Registered or Certified HVAC Technician (required)
• 3-4 years of residential HVAC experience
• Valid Texas driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work in attics and outdoor Texas heat
• Bonus points: ServiceTitan experience, Lennox experience, heat pump experience, or strong electrical diagnostics

The Physical Side

• Comfortable moving — stooping, kneeling, bending, standing, and everything in between, for extended stretches
• Able to lift 50 lbs regularly throughout the day
• Good with heights, attics, and unbothered by Houston heat or a cold snap

What's In It For You

• Medical, Dental, and Vision Insurance
• 100% Company-Sponsored Short-Term Disability
• 401(k) Employer Matching
• Weekly Pay Dates
• 3 Weeks PTO + 3 Sick Days
• 12 Paid Holidays + 1 Floating Holiday
• Real upward mobility — senior technician, field trainer, comfort advisor, or leadership roles are all on the table
