 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received a call from my tenant about a possible water-heater leak in the garage and water leaking into the kitchen. When I called Anytime Plumbing, my call was routed to Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing, and they sent a plumber to inspect the problem. The plumber told me there were two separate leaks: one beneath the water heater and another inside the kitchen wall. He quoted $2,800 to replace the water heater. I asked him to focus first on the leak inside the wall. After cutting open the drywall, he quoted an additional $3,500, saying the repair would require a jackhammer to access the pipe, fix the leak, and place a rough concrete patch over the opening. He said that if I paid a 50% deposit, he would perform a temporary repair that day and return on Monday to complete the permanent repair. Because the quote seemed extremely high, I offered to pay separately for the temporary repair while I obtained additional estimates for the permanent work. He refused to perform even the temporary repair without receiving 50% of the full quote and left without fixing anything. We had to keep the main water valve shut off. We then contacted another plumber, who inspected the water heater and found no problem with it. He repaired the leak inside the wall for only $300. Based on this experience, I would not recommend Rite Way Heating, Cooling & Plumbing. Their diagnosis and pricing were dramatically different from those of the plumber who ultimately resolved the issue, and I felt that I was being pressured into paying for an unnecessary water-heater replacement and a much more expensive repair.

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.
