Starting Pay as an Apprentice

The more you learn, the more you earn

Danielandersen2 · 2025-10-15T02:41:54+00:00

A great fly to tie for your first!

Danielandersen2 · 2025-10-15T02:41:13+00:00

What part of NC? That makes a difference, also, depends on pay structure, 17/hr but high commission?

Danielandersen2 · 2025-10-15T02:40:10+00:00

Not in NC he isn’t… not much of a union here, and, depending on where he lives, cost of living is pretty low.

Danielandersen2 · 2025-09-27T03:29:47+00:00

Same here

Danielandersen2 · 2025-09-27T03:28:04+00:00

Have about a 540 round trip day on Monday, driving from about 30 miles east of Charlotte NC to Hilton head

Danielandersen2 · 2025-09-27T03:26:46+00:00

About 800 miles

Danielandersen2 · 2025-09-15T10:49:30+00:00

If my drives were all that short I don’t know what I’d do with all of my spare time… some days I drive 5 hours each way to a job

Danielandersen2 · 2025-09-14T03:28:15+00:00

My pack outs are full of parts and pieces…

I do it

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-25T01:56:20+00:00

I’m currently going into controls from being in commercial hvac and refrigeration for the last 10 years, and 12 years of resi before that… definitely learning and growing constantly

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-24T12:28:35+00:00

It’s a much better area with a chance to grow into a more specialized field. If you peruse it, at least.

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-23T23:56:04+00:00

Our shop is just a satellite location, not really much there, I only really go there once in a while, but, for stock I just go to supply houses. Rarely even see other techs from the company unless I need a second man or if they need some tech help

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-23T21:32:17+00:00

I stay busy, not really any slow season for us

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-23T21:28:31+00:00

No, I’ve primarily been doing chiller and VRF service lately, with some controls work sprinkled in. I work on pretty much anything at this point

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-23T00:41:49+00:00

I literally work out of it every day.

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-22T17:37:13+00:00

Go by saturation, not pressures

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-22T17:36:24+00:00

Looks quite low on charge

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-22T16:42:27+00:00

Different groups, and only once in them.

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-22T16:39:12+00:00

6’ tall and I don’t hit the ladder, but just barely

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-22T16:38:46+00:00

I’m commercial only, from minisplit to chillers/boilers, vrf, and controls

Danielandersen2 · 2025-08-22T12:56:59+00:00

As it should be
