There are a lot of reasons that people are attracted to the HVAC industry for a career. One of the biggest reasons our technicians enjoy what they do is because they get to work with people and help solve problems. They enjoy the challenges, they benefit from a vast amount of on-the-job training, and they like the reward of good pay. If you are curious about becoming an HVAC technician at the Lake of the Ozarks, we would like to share 5 things you might enjoy about it.
1) Critical thinking and problem solving.
That is what we do, every day. We assess problems, troubleshoot, and bring creative solutions to get someone’s HVAC up and running properly. It takes technical ability, mechanical skill, and common sense. Every situation is different, and our technicians enjoy looking at a problem from every angle until they have an answer. A great HVAC technician is a quick thinker who loves to take on technical challenges.
2) Helping others.
Our technicians work together with our clients to help make them comfortable and happy, often during a stressful situation. They find it very gratifying to “be the hero” and some of our clients think they should be wearing capes! Besides knowing they are solving an annoyance, we know the service they are providing is very important. HVAC systems not only control the temperature, but also the humidity and overall air quality in our homes, businesses, hospitals, schools and more.
