 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After speaking with Luis it became clear that my needs could be fully met by going with the base model.  I was explained to that the footprint of the new unit would be square instead rectangular.  Little did I know that the new unit would be a full foot taller than my old heat pump.  Overall, I’m very satisfied with the education Luis provided of several options, different manufacturers but ultimately my wife and I settled on a SEER2 13.4.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tech Marco Berreda is awesome.
He replaced the valves on my tankless hot water heater as they were old and had started leaking.  He is knowledgeable, very friendly and efficient.

Why Work in the AC/Heat Field?

Demand for heating and cooling services is growing nationwide, especially here in Arizona.

The AC/Heat industry is expected to grow by 50% in the next 12 years, by $10 billion. This will include a 13% increase in demand for technicians – much more job growth than in most other fields. That means you’ll be in demand and not worried about job security.
The US Department of Labor predicts a shortage of 70,000 AC/Heat technicians – that means plenty of opportunity for those smart enough to enter the field.
Our Arizona climate means plenty of job security – our hot summers aren’t going away.
You’ve probably seen new homes going up all over the area – more people moving to Arizona and building homes means more homes will need air conditioning service and maintenance.
Many existing technicians have been in the industry for decades and are approaching retirement. There is a shortage of young people entering the business, partially due to a lack of good training programs. Rite Way University is the best way to enter the industry while
being paid to learn.
Air conditioning is an essential industry, which means that it doesn’t get shut down during crises like COVID. Nor is this an industry where technicians are going to be replaced with robots, as we are seeing begin to be predicted for other careers.

If you’re looking for a career with massive potential growth, long term job security and an honest way to earn a good living without a college degree, you should seriously consider becoming an air conditioning technician.
