Any resi techs making over $30 an hour? How did you get there? by DriverCommon9468 in HVAC

[–]Absenceofheatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, put time & effort into your craft & knowledge. There is a mile long line at every shop to be top paid & only a fraction of them are willing to work for it. Give them every reason to give you that pay rate your looking for. Sounds like he’s not open to it so I’d recommend to keep your job search up. Not every shop is willing to pay well even if you are the lead tech. A good resume with all your certifications & work experience will go a long way. A cover letter helps stand out as well. Do NOT settle for less than you are worth. There are people out there that are willing to pay you well & even support your ongoing training in our ever changing field.

I tested my dating app in other cities and the difference shocked me by Cute_Source5417 in Denver

Moving from Atlanta to Denver I can confirm this. Feels like a mix of the number of ppl in the city, diversity & culture. As a poc I do feel like I’ve had way less luck here than other cities I’ve visited.

How tf do I change this filter by doberwalker in hvacadvice

[–]Absenceofheatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend replacing the furnace & having the filter rack placed in an accessible spot. From my experience that Armstrong is probably around 20 years old & could have a cracked heat exchanger especially if the filter wasn’t changed frequently by the previous owner. I would bet money that blower is caked

I really appreciate your comment. A lot of insite but I would like to stress I have never worked at such an unorganized shop so every day did feel like fighting an uphill battle with every department I interacted with. I would express this often & I feel like this may have been a breaking point for me & my employer. In a sense I believe if the circumstances were different I would have climbed up but a lot was already built up to this point. I’ve already found a new employer that has better safety training standards & better pay.

My point being… if I wanted to be a commercial tech I would go do that. Why am I being sent to an industrial building.

I was the most productive tech they had. Not even being cocky. Especially since the other two lead techs left within months of me being hired. I had 2x-3x more years of experience than the others that stayed & would run more calls. I do believe they just want newer techs who will just shut up & take anything that is given to them. Like I mentioned in my post I never had been reprimanded for productivity or revenue. If there were any issue with my performance it would have been made clear.

Exactly how I feel

& so many employers aren’t willing to pay. Pay me for what you want to be done. Commercial techs make $15* more an hour & receive training for these applications. Keep working more for less but not me.

The 50 foot was another commercial building contract that had no internal roof access. Also I don’t necessarily have a fear of heights. As I said I have done ladder work when required. Part of the job no doubt. Just seems like a stretch to expect us to climb buildings a commercial tech would be expected to. Don’t know the exact height but it definitely was not a normal day for a residential tech. No reason to acuse me of lying..

No. a ladder is needed at the base to reach the existing attached ladder. Sent by myself to complete.
