When pursuing a job, many people look to the job of an HVAC serviceman and they may have some questions like “what does it take to be an HVAC serviceman?” or “How long does someone have to go to school just to learn about air conditioning and oil furnaces?” The following article will give some answers to these questions along with many others, and surprisingly, a person can be an HVAC serviceman without ever going to school for it.
While it is extremely unofficial to be hired to task on cooling systems and furnaces with only a GED, your HVAC dreams can still come true with only a GED, but if someone wants a better opportunity at being hired as an HVAC serviceman he is better off going to school for an HVAC certification.
Once a degree is rewarded, being an apprentice under an HVAC serviceman is the next best step. While in apprenticeship, you will learn how to install a cooling system and an oil furnace along with air vents. While an apprenticeship is not mandatory after school, it is a great way to master the HVAC system! An HVAC apprenticeship will take a few years but it will be well worth the work. Once an apprenticeship is completed, there is little more to learn about cooling systems and furnaces other than what experience will teach you. An HVAC job is quite a bit of a task but in the end, fixing people’s cooling systems in the summertime & their furnaces in the winter is a rewarding task that anyone can enjoy.
