Their responsibilities range from installing and repairing HVAC systems to conducting routine maintenance to ensure optimal performance. With the increasing demand for energy-efficient and eco-friendly HVAC solutions, the role of HVAC technicians has become indispensable in modern society.
The demand for HVAC technicians is driven by several factors, including population growth, urbanization, and the construction of new residential and commercial buildings.
